I truly hope what I see as optimism is just cold hard pragmatism. All of what you said is true, but we’re in uncharted waters now. We’re the nazi party but with nukes and a LOT of far ranging power.
I don’t want to live in country/world where my value is defined by my skin color and sexual orientation. I do not want to prosper because I am a straight white man, but due to what value I add to others. Likewise, I don’t want my trans brethren, along with all of the other ‘undesirables’, to suffer under the yoke of hatred.
Yeahhh, unfortunately I don’t have optimism - but I was trying to see some of the positive sides of things. It is objectively good that the culture has become so tolerant of trans people, even while the political backlash is so great.
I agree though about the potential for the current administration to end the U.S., but as one of those trans people it’s a coping strategy for me not to dwell on that and to stay focused on what is right in front of me.
