It isn't that you aren't supposed to care, it's that you adding your cis voice to the trans conversation just isn't worth that much. We have a duty to amplify the voices of trans people, not to insist our big dumb loud opinions enter the arena where they add little value.

Like... the human condition? People trying to treat each other kindly and the way they want to be treated? Everyone has a duty to listen and amplify voices if they want other people to listen to them and amplify their voices on issues that effect them?
-
If human kindness is that strange of a value to you, then I guess whatever.

If ppl who don’t have a personal stake don’t get involved, then nothing changes for minority groups, ever. And we’re all humans, so we all have a stake when human rights are concerned.

Mostly I just feel sorry for you that you have to deal with this rubbish. I'm thinking of responding to your recent article but I will do it as another article, with quotes and all! basically I agree with much of your thinking but damn these attempts at criticism are woeful.

This issue is about numbers. Phobias and stigmas attached to an entity are removed through socialisation. Given the very small % of trans people most of us will seldom meet one, thus the fear of the unknown will remain. This fear cannot be eradicated by education or legislation

Look, Helen, you've got to understand that you must do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING or you're going to offend someone. And you wouldn't want to offend someone, now, would you?
-
You better not want to offend someone, Helen. We'll report you to the Scottish police if you do.
