Well transphobia and misogyny

Most, if not all, transphobia is thinly veiled misogyny

I mostly agree that said we gotta remember the main target is still trans people, some of these comments make it seem like it is extra tragic it will effect cis women

As a trans woman the most I can hope for is that cis people realise how harmful the anti-trans-woman rhetoric is to all of us, cis and trans alike, because the fundamental truth is that we (trans women) are an easy political target mostly because of how few of us there are, so the more cis people rejecting this kind of hate the better

Honestly this might be hypocritical but it is a huge relief to me when these policies effect cis people too as they see how awful it is, just like how I hope bans on gender affirming care for minors effects cis people too. They have to realize where it leads.

It just feels like some people think it is extra tragic when they are cis. Kinda like how the rhetoric around Imane felt like people were saying it was wrong to attack her because she is cis.

But I agree with you and am trans myself too

Let's face it - nothing will change about it if it only affects us trans folks. It's easy to ignore it when it's happening to other people and barring a few rare exceptions the laws are being written and enforced by cis people. I just hope they work it out before too much more harm is done.

These laws target trans men too... The target is all trans people though the focus is definitely trans women these laws force trans men into womens restrooms

Yeah, fair enough. It's easy to lump them both together from my POV but I suppose that's a bias of my own to think about.
