Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, I'm specifically curious to see how blahaj.zone, feels about this topic.

I recently made a post Discussion: Do Not Reject Imperfect Allies

In this post I open up the discussion as to how we should treat imperfect allies, and made some crude examples one of which relates to people who are Pro-Trans but not fully.

What do you feel is the best way to approach these scenarios, and influence positive change?

Yesterday thousands of trans youth in my county lost access to therapy and gender affirming healthcare because the largest provider in the county, LA Children’s Hospital, closed its trans clinic.

Just to put in context what the people who are being ‘unreasonable’ about ‘imperfect allies’ are dealing with right now.

Anyone who wants to put steam behind the Trump admin yanking healthcare from thousands of vulnerable youth, including by trying to push trans rights into the ‘debatable’ sphere, can walk into the fucking sea. Anyone who sees this shit happening and decides the way to react is by debating trans rights is either happy it’s happening or so incredibly ignorant that reading basic trans 101 resources would answer every ‘concern’ they have instead of making trans people justify themselves over. And over. And over again.

We are not theoretical debate topics, we are people and they are trying to kill us by getting rid of our healthcare.
