The idea that pro-trans movements led to anti-trans sentiment is egregiously out of touch with reality. Increased LGBTQ representation led to historic shifts in public opinion toward the community. The aggressively bigoted and violent campaigns that lied about trans people are clearly responsible

Claiming men can identify as women while saying I'm the one out of touch with reality is rather disingenuous, to say the least.
- They also hate childhood transition as cross sex pubertal changes make it impossible to know whether someone is trans where transitioning pre-puberty
With blockers:
- Kids go through puberty as their new sex - now suddenly you can hardly argue against their participation in sports as their new sex!...
- Lawfare - We've seen transphobes fighting to try to have the legal definition of woman to exclude trans women.
- Heathcare - Fighting against young trans people accessing things like puberty blockers, why have they targeted that? Because they think they can push it back..
And juat like that the haters had no choice but to kill them its clearly the people wanting human rights faults and not the insane ones pushing conspiracy theory and violence against us.
Heavy sarcasm, god what idiot logic these people do
I am more of the opinion that a person who might be mildly supportive of any position, even though not at all invested or interested in it, can be driven away by constantly having it shoved in their face by aggressive people who are pro that position.

“It’s not that I don’t want you to have equal rights, you just went too far” This is bullshit
Liberals love the theatrics of social movements/protests, but not the results.
Targets were trans folks, the unhoused & harm reduction, DEI, abortion, migration & abolition
Or it could be you work with assholes who wouldn’t want to hire or work with trans people anyway and instead of putting trans people in unsafe work environments they could stop being shit humans.
One day my mom ended up outing me to her (knowing I wouldn't care) and her response was, VERY surprisingly "Ooh! Just like on my Kardashian tv show!"
Don't like Caitlyn but EVEN SHE makes a difference.
Then again, I couldn't convince my brother that it was Republicans taking rights away WHILE THE 2016 NC BATHROOM BILL WAS HAPPENING, so like, there's also the factor that they're just lying liars who lie to justify their bigotry.
It also seems to be a goal post thats on a motorized track for some reason.
No idea why.

They refused to counter measure blatant lies against us because they were too busy conceding to right wing policies.
This reflexive rightwing effort is no different than the wave of anti-Blackness following Obama's election.
Its not even secret.
They picked it on a whim then radicalised THEMSELVES into rabid transphobia
No drama, no overthrowing the status quo, no diva.
Just respect, autonomy, and normality.
Sorry for the anticlimax.
WTAF.
Questioning the most fringe, non-binary insane demand was tantamount to calling for the death of all trans children, to some.
It was deranging.
And second, you are also guilty of extremely oversimplifying what happened in the face of the actual evidence of what happened: A well funded campaign to attack trans people after gay marriage won at the supreme court.
Straight to the bin rather than have him JAQing off in public.
I remember being instantly perm banned from Reddit subs for “bigotry” or similar for asking sincere questions about queer theory I didn’t understand.
There was cancer on our side too.
I don’t think MAGA voters for example, think “no wait, that was an overzealous idiot on social media and not rep. of the democrats as a whole, I should review policy choices again.”
Our lack of hygiene also helped them lie.
Gaslighting
Obstruction
