  • i mean, there are many transphobic opinions one may have which aren’t in conflict with “trans people are the gender they say they are”

    it’s often what comes after the dreaded BUT

    examples of transphobia (and enbyphobia) where this applies
    • trans women are women BUT they shouldn’t be allowed in female shelters if they get abused
    • trans men are men BUT kids shouldn’t be able to transition, they should wait until they’re 18
    • nonbinary people are nonbinary BUT we shouldn’t change language to reflect them since they are so marginal in society

    imo opinions like these are even worse than blatant bigotry, cause the people who say them often present themselves as safe and “allies”, so they’re much more pervasive and harder to ignore



  • pride-themed anti-homeless architecture is especially cruel when you know how many queer people experience homelessness

    those are basically saying “we love white middle class queer people! shoutout to queer people who conform to and accept our violent white supremacist patriarchal society! yay!”

    it’s fucking vile

    (yes i know in this case it’s a photoshop but my point still stands)
