It was a distraction tactic and they fell for it brilliantly.

What you call a distraction, I and my fellow trans called a wave of violence. Just because it didn't effect you, doesn't mean there was not real world consequences. Many trans individuals suffered more hate, more violence, a few even died. That has become the new normal. Thanks.
