i mean, there are many transphobic opinions one may have which aren’t in conflict with "trans people are the gender they say they are"

it’s often what comes after the dreaded BUT

examples of transphobia (and enbyphobia) where this applies

  • trans women are women BUT they shouldn’t be allowed in female shelters if they get abused
  • trans men are men BUT kids shouldn’t be able to transition, they should wait until they’re 18
  • nonbinary people are nonbinary BUT we shouldn’t change language to reflect them since they are so marginal in society

imo opinions like these are even worse than blatant bigotry, cause the people who say them often present themselves as safe and "allies", so they’re much more pervasive and harder to ignore

I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
