I was there, I saw the thread. @TheDude, did you? It was pretty strongly in favour. Do we really need to keep waiting around to see if an instance administrated by a guy who wants to declare "cis" a slur is going to turn out okay?

Transphobes want us dead, call it whatever you like. Whether or not acceptance is high in general, the extremists are still fighting hard at the state level in the US, which usually spreads ideologically to other countries.

Moving the goalposts. You call this a genocide, its a far cry from it. About half the states respect, and provide support.

Whatever they do in red states isnt nice, but you arent being genocided by a bunch of boomers.

In fact, I think you are vulgar for comparing your strugglings with people like the jewish, ughurs, black africans who got and get genocided on a daily basis.

You dont know what struggle is and this makes your comment very tasteless.

I also notice a weird concidence where most transgender people I meet in real life have zero of the struggles outlined by people online. They a job, partner and get sufficient healthcare. They are respected, except by people of certain religions.

Again, I will respectfully ask you to stop comparing your struggle to a genocide, as it is not.

You are a marginalized group that is bullied and pushed around by boomers in suits.

Sounds like a struggle to me?
