People vastly underestimate how important trans* rights are in the contemporary fight for freedom.

If you cannot make your own choices for your body, the name you go by, or even the very clothes that you wear, then you are not, in any sense, meaningfully free.

@redfern And the fact that there is a war against trans rights shows that the other side has understood this.

trans rights, like abortion rights, are not just about body autonomy and personal sovereignty, but slavery.

@redfern Also, the right to life saving healthcare. Social transition is nothing without medical transition. If you're free to make all those cosmetic choices but not allowed to get a body that makes your life worth living, you still don't have trans rights.

@redfern Yes, it's fundamental. If men find it threatening, that's a problem for men.

@redfern that’s true, but I would still care about trans rights if it wasn’t

@redfern It took me longer than I like to admit to *understand* "trans rights are human rights." I don't read it as "trans people are human," but "any rights specifically for trans people are actually just rights for everyone."

Telling a specific group they can't live in a way that fulfills them means we're telling *everyone* they have to conform to a specific standard set by an in-group.
