But yes, people who obsess about trans people are... weird.
It is one thing to not go out of your way to be supportive of trans rights (tbh there are so many problems plaguing our planet these days that even I have fatigue re more than casual support of most liberal issues I do honestly support..the breaking of our planet is sort of uppermost on my mind to the exclusion of most everything else increasingly)..but it is really really weird to fixate on trans rights as a threat to your autonomy.

I don’t get these people who can’t let other people be..
