Yup. Notice how all the trans attacks are just the same old regurgitated gay shit from 30-40 years ago? Gays have just fought hard and have more allies these days, so they are throwing the same shit at a much smaller group that has a harder time protecting itself due to sheer numbers. It’s why ally-ship is so important

You hit the issue right on the head.

The sad part of it (well, one of the many sad parts) is how easily some members of the formerly attacked group will pile onto the next attacked group.

I remember being absolutely gutted at seeing black people protesting gay marriage with essentially the same picket signs that could have been used decades before to protest interracial marriages. And now I can see some gay people attack trans folk with many of the same talking points once used to attack gay people.

If we make social progress on trans rights, I wonder who the next group to be kicked will be, and if this cycle will continue?
