I don't see why the discussion warrants merit. You can't reduce the visibility of trans people perpetrated by the right without giving the right everything they want.

And you can't reduce the visibility of trans content from the left without giving the right everything they want.

So the result of reducing visibility will be to give the right what they want. It's a non starter. There is nothing to gain from discussing it.

    Hey, I totally get what you’re saying. Hiding ourselves won’t stop the hate, and I hear you about not giving the right what they want. I think what some of us are feeling is that the constant spotlight like when we’re turned into a debate topic... I can be really exhausting and even unsafe.

    For me, it’s not about trying to disappear, but more about how we can show up on our own terms, sharing our real stories and joy instead of letting others twist the narrative. What do you think?

    You absolutely can.

    'Ghost in the shell' (1995) had a scene outling a way trans people could be less visible wothout giving conservatives what they want.

    Even if you limit yourself to currently extant technology; queers have always made the best camo. I think we got this.
