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.

Considering that at least 10% of Gen Alpha identify as trans or non-binary and the actual number of trans and non-binary people is likely even higher because there is heavy suppression, you probably know quite a few trans and non-binary people but they have not disclosed that to you or in general...

A statement such as "nobody in my family is" is quite jarring. Statistically there must be trans and/or non-binary people in your family. Sadly though, they apparently don't feel safe enough to come out, or they've been sufficiently indoctrinated that they don't even realize that they're trans... As I had during the first 40+ years of my life before realizing that I'm non-binary...
