queer folks, we can’t keep having mindsets like this. we are in a really fucking scary time and we are stronger together. discourse like this is useless and divisive.
Hot take: if you aren’t apart of the trans community, don’t speak on issues or opinions about the trans community

i want to edit to say that im mostly focused on the OP saying to not speak on trans issues. we have to keep speaking up on issues in order to attain justice, and for that to work we need EVERYONE to speak up.

this is exactly what i mean!! discourse is useless when there are people dying and lives are being destroyed, we have to focus on that rather than infighting.

i mightve worded my post wrong but we are on the same page i think, this is about centering the big issues at hand and centering those who need help the most, rather than putting energy into discourse
