The world is what it is. I’m suggesting a way to work within the world we have to secure trans rights. If you only care to have the support of people you define to be “good”, then you’ve already lost. We’re going to need the support of people we don’t fully agree with to secure trans rights.

No, you're just telling us to vote and to provide free emotional support to people who are being violent towards us.

Absolutely not and if that’s your takeaway from what I wrote then I don’t think you actually bothered to use one brain cell when reading what I wrote.

To say that the first one works is questionable at best, and this thread is full of queer people, including myself, telling y'all that we've already done the second one, i personally spent the majority of my life doing so, and it doesn't work, all the people who genuinely benefit from that kind of education are the ones who aren't hateful

That’s literally exactly what I’ve been saying. Help those that don’t regularly vote to care about trans rights enough to vote. We aren’t going to win them over by berating them for not being 100% aligned with us.

If you think that trans rights are gonna be handed in by the system who enables transphobia to exist to begin with, then you already lost.

It’s possible. same sex marriage is an example.
