Trans Americans are Americans

“Republicans have made it clear that their number one legislative and cultural priority is the “eradication of transgenderism from public life,” as was stated by Daily Wire host Michael Knowles …he made it clear that transgender people have no place in public life in any way shape or form and that the full force of government should be used to achieve this aim.”

“The End of Trans America Comes Into Focus”, Brynn Tannehill, NewRepublic.com

Transgender people are humans. Citizens. People. Individuals with agency, sentience, intelligence.

You cannot make different rules for transgender people, just as you cannot make different rules for, say, black people.

Am I equating trans persecution with slavery? No, but those two things are wearing the exact same clothes, going to the same hangouts, and speaking in the same accents.
