    True, but two ideas can be correct. As a species when we’re divided we are arguably at our worst.

      Agreed, but it’s ignorant (at best) to suggest that trans people are responsible for social division rather than the right-wing groups actively trying to eradicate trans people.

      It’d be like blaming Jews for socially dividing Germany in the interwar era.

        Smh. It was probably not smart to engage here. I really was trying to have a good faith conversation. I absolutely think that trans folks and LGBTQ+ and everyone else should absolutely be able to have every freedom and liberty to live their lives and pursue happiness without threats of any kind. Period.
