That's not what I meant. I meant that we are all in the same boat wanting to be treated fairly. Being treated unfairly is not a uniquely trans experience.

    This is why fighting for rights for those that don't have them also results in better conditions for those who started in a slightly better position. Programs like the Black Prisoner's Caucus create better conditions for white inmates as well. This concept is pretty common in activist spaces.

    I don't think that trans people are the vehicle that will bring basic human rights to all. I don't think framing it in group-speak is helpful either.

    Its awful that all of these people are struggling, but we can't even agree on the cause of or solution for that suffering. I wish the community wasn't so eager to defend positions that haven't had time to be established as fact yet.

    I've never encountered a trans person who said "I and only I have ever been treated unfairly." I'm sure someone's said it (the Internet is a big place and full of trolls), but it's a pretty ridiculous thing to say. I recommend that if you ever see it in the future you just shrug at the person who is clearly not speaking in rational good-faith, rather than taking offense.
