Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to “just get along” / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn’t work.
There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.
What The hell are extreme Position on “trans people” that come from trans people themselves? Such extreme stuff like “just let everyone life the way they want and dont be fucking dick?”
I seriously have no fucking clue what she could mean that might be somewhat controversial. The only thing I could think of is stuff like “chop everyone’s dick off” but that’s more like extreme feminism and not just “extreme trans”.
I think that people like to imagine this opposite dangerous “extreme” to validate that they can have the right to hold their problematic values. But that other extreme is basically a boogeyman. I hear from frienda and family on every subject “oh but we should be careful to not go too far in the other extreme”. As if it was a real threat. Not only because we are so closer to right wing extremism at the moment but also because how can caring about other people can be “too extreme”.
