If I say "It's a solution in search of a problem", what's the first thing that comes to mind?

@RickiTarr I'm biased because I live it, but literally any laws that take rights away from trans people.

Almost every single conversation devolves into "but what if cis people abuse it?" And it's like...yeah, I guess punish cis people then. Not trans people, right?

@CordiallyChloe @RickiTarr my "favorite" argument against gay marriage back in the day was that like two dudes would get married to pull some sort of a scam but like any scam you could pull with gay marriage would work with straight marriage too

That or they quickly jump to "well, if two men can do it, then where does it stop? A man and an animal!? What about children???"

And it's like...we literally have consent laws. This isn't complicated.

But it's all just thinly veiled excuses for their bigotry anyway. Ultimately, they just don't want us to be treated equally because we make them uncomfortable.
