Acting like people don't "understand" imo is just transphobia. Your state shouldn't have voted for bigotry. This shows cis people have failed their end of the social contract.
No more blaming trans people for transphobia period.
Edit: Because I wanted to make the message simpler.
Cis people harm trans people.
It's not that they don't get it, or don't understand, or don't know about it, the reason so much harmful legislation passes marginalizing trans people is because of the oppression by cisgender people.
Wow lots of flexing over a transphobe. I'll celebrate when she actually consistently votes any better than her predecessors. Choke on your hope pill
