    yes someone is comparing them

    that’s an analogy; not a direct comparison… they share the property that they are both demeaning to a minority group for some inherent properly of the group… the experiences are not being compared; simply the meaning behind the expression

    you’re wildly out of touch and in deep in your trans bubble

    perhaps you just don’t hang around enough trans people to understand their experiences

    racism was still racism in the 50s - it doesn’t matter that it was considered less morally reprehensible back then by the majority… morality of the majority lags behind morality of minorities

    Black people were tortured, sold and the women were raped by the house master

    deadnaming is at least a form of bullying, if not psychological torture… and if you don’t think that a lot of trans people have experiences in their lives that are at least bordering on rape (sexual acts they did just to fit in; not because they wanted or enjoyed them - in a similar way to not feeling like consent can be withdrawn… again, analogy here not comparison) then i refer you to point 2: perhaps you just don’t hang around enough trans people to understand their experiences

    comparable experiences? no; they’re too different to be comparable…

    You think getting called she when you really want to be a he is even in the same universe of suffering?

    again, i refer you to the suicide rate of trans people to argue that yes, i do: mental health is just as important as physical health no matter how much you try and dismiss it
