I'm reminded of when gay riights was the big cause du jour, and shows like Queer Eye came out. At a time when gay people were still openly discriminated against, there was a huge push to show the public that gay people were just regular people. And beyond just being regular, it highlighted a ton of positive character traits! They'd come remodel your house. They'd teach you how to cook. They'd teach you about culture, fashion, and self-care. They openly demonstrated why the world was a better place with them in it.
The trans movement you see on places like Era (and I want to emphatically state that this DOES NOT represent transpeople as a whole) demonstrates the opposite. They constantly push transpeople as being miserable, uptight dictators who force people to walk on eggshells around them, and they have the audacity to say they speak for the community as a whole. In doing so, they're accomplishing exactly the opposite of what they claim to be fighting for.
My personal experience, the gay community is usually portrayed as victims, because overall they are wonderful people, non violent, non aggressive, wonderful people. The trans people at our work place, are extremely aggressive and angry. They appear unhinged at times. Just like on ERA, honestly. They are also untouchable and get away with murder. They are heavily protected, in the same category as indigenous people to be honest. I realize my work place is only a microcosm of the world and not an accurate reflection of the trans community. At least, I hope not.
But you know what, Rome wasn't built in a day, change, actual change takes time. Just ask the Gay or Black communities.
I've come to the conclusion, ERA is just not real anymore, it's people pretending and pulling strings. Emperor Palpatine would be proud at this masterful puppet show. I just can't believe this circus is real and anyone could be that unaware of themselves.
