I’m not trans. As far as I know, my kids aren’t at the moment. Nobody in my family is. None of my good friends are. I don’t prescribe medication for gender affirming care. I don’t specifically treat folks for gender dysphoria. So why do I give a fuck?

You don’t punch down. There’s no transgender machine producing trans judiciary and trans politicians and trans PACs to come for my cisgender. There are trans folks being discriminated against, outed, beaten, jailed, and killed. I hate bullies.

@mcnado There's been a slo-mo trans migration wave since the first bathroom ban laws 10+ yrs ago. Detroit's a relatively cheap city in a safe state, so I've seen this firsthand. Since 2024 many trans people with the means to do so are focused on leaving the country. I'm not in personal danger at the moment, nor is my HRT supply, but I too have an exit plan.
