      They are supported by the fact, that they are not treated differently than others.

      Are you fucking new to the Internet or something? America literally has laws that prevent transgender people from getting healthcare, or using the bathroom. Not treated different? Fuck outta here.

      You talk a lot about this topic for someone who does not appear to know any trans people. Stop running your mouth. You aren’t smart, you’re just condescending and disconnected from reality.

      Being a gender abolitionist is fine (if that’s what you’re trying to express here) but not at the expense of celebrating trans pride. As it stands, your comments look like transphobia to me. If not transphobia then why transphobia shaped?

      This was the post directly before this one in my feed. When we stop facing violent mobs for using the bathroom, and facing criminal charges for being the victims in this country, maybe you’d have a point. Until then, go fuck a cactus.

      Except that they are treated differently than other people. It’s important to highlight the victories to support the movement and further bring attention to it. Were you also an “All Lives Matter” person?

      Except they are treated differently, transphobia is alive and well.

      It’s a privileged position to be able to ignore discrimination.
