I have an acquaintance who is Trans that’s currently driving from Ohio to Portland, Oregon who in their words is “escaping”. On social media they are posting like they are a political refugee fleeing a military regime.
“Greetings from Mitchell, SD. No less than three people shouted at me from their cars and this is the most unsafe I’ve felt in years.
It’s hard to figure out why people yelled at me. It all happened at the same intersection. My hair is long but I was in the boymode-iest outfit imaginable, jeans and a black hoodie. It’s left me really paranoid.”
I’m very live and let live. I’ll call anyone by their preferred pro-nouns. It just seems like the manufactured paranoia is so counterproductive to their community. The trans community complains of being “othered” by normies, yet it’s hard not to think they encourage it.
