Hey sis, I feel where you are coming from and I truly understand, there are a lot of scary things happening in the world and what others do with their time isn’t something you should ever worry about.

I have a lot of emotions when I see people talk about HP, primarily dissapointment, my guess is that all trans folk do. But it wasn’t a fight we lost, because it wasn’t a fight, but slow incremental progress. If something simple as media choices are a stumbling block for “allies”, then they are just fairweather friends. Naturally people react defensively to criticism, such as GirlfriendReviews, but that doesn’t make make giving money to those that persecute us any less valid.

You’re exhausted, so am I, we all are. Transphobia is rampant, yet it’s better than ten years ago, better than 30 and better than a 100. The progress is slow, but talking about the ways our community is harmed is the way to make the next 100 years better.
