      I don't understand how "trans activist" has become a single concept. It's not a thing. There's just trans people who refuse to sit silently.

      Refusing to accept bullshit silently is actually a big deal, especially for trans women. There's an insidious history here.

      As recently as the late 1990s, in order to receive transition care as a trans woman, you had to prove that you fit in this progressive scale

      This scale included adhering to a very traditional notion of femininity and had escalating levels.

      If you didn't claim that you salaciously stole your mom's pantyhose as a child, you wouldn't be allowed hormone therapy.

      So essentially to receive the medical care you needed, you had to be a good 1950s housewife. And good housewives didn't run their mouth.

          The fact that trans women can speak--and speak loudly--is a revolution not juat against society at large but against our gatekeepers.

          There is a lot of resentment between my generation of trans women and the previous. We fight against the way they are conditioned to act.

          But for them, it was what they had to do to live. Most trans tropes are based off what they had to do to get medical care.

          So when people see loud trans women, they're presented in foil to those tropes, and we're given the label "trans activist" as a single word.

          But we're not. We're activists. We're trans. And we refuse to be pressured to shut up and be good housewives anymore.

          If you want to read about the scale, you can do so here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_scale … Note the Kinsey Scale parts. I'd be denied for being gay.
