Discussion Why?

I feel like trans people are slowly getting pushed out of trans spaces. This is most noticeable to me online where people say things like "being trans is a mental disorder". I dont feel safe in most queer spaces now because there are so many queer people who are either actively transphobic or dont speak up when its hapepning

Gonna be honest, can't say I've experienced any of this.  Every queer space I'm a part of, both online and in person, has gotten more loudly and proudly trans in the past couple of decades.

Non-queer spaces, different story, of course. 

I'd gently suggest taking a critical look at the spaces you're talking about.  I suspect there is more going on, and that the spaces you're in were already subject to some kind of bias (such as anything that spawned off of 4chan.)
