Hey folks, wanted to let you know about a brand new essay that I wrote in response to last week's deluge of Democrats embracing anti-trans positions. It reframes the issue, moving away from fixating on transgender people's reactions, and instead examining cisgender people's actions and assumptions that have created this dilemma in the first place. I make a couple important points in the piece that I have haven't seen made anywhere else.
It's called On Democrats Who Cave in Response to Anti-Trans Attack Ads (and more importantly: a response to all the cis people responding to the way that trans people are responding to said Democrats’ responses). You can read it at:
