      Okay see my read on the history of trans activism is that it's spent a lot of time as the ignored stepchild of "LGBT" activism and trans people have spent a lot of time being absurdly apologetic for their existence

      And TERFs, like oppressive majorities everywhere, have spent a lot of time *not noticing* the tensions within "the community" and the need to balance real, urgent suffering with tactical respectability politics

      Which is why you get this sincere surprise from a lot of TERF circles about how "These violent scary TRAs appeared out of nowhere c. 2014 or so and just started *demanding everything*", as though they expected trans people to be content with table scraps forever

      This is *extremely similar* to the narrative that, say, white people have about the excesses of "BLM and antifa" Like they really seriously think everything was going hunky-dory for race relations in the Obama years and then BLM "poisoned" everything

      I've had to sit through an absurdly condescending rant -- a serious "Can you even hear yourself?" moment -- from some dude talking about his Black employees who "used to be the kindest, most decent people, would give you the shirt off their back" and then "Obama brainwashed them"

      "This meanness, this suspicion and resentment, I don't know where it comes from Obama was supposed to lead us out of this hatred and instead he led his Black followers deep into a cult that idolizes race war" Well yeah I can see how it might seem that way, if you're stupid

      It's just, this deep, deep ignorance, this willful desire to *not know* To *earnestly believe* that how your knowledge of how your Black employees acted around their boss was some kind of genuine insight into "the Black community"

      To not know *any* of the discourse that's gone on in pop culture and academia and activism for *decades* before "Black Lives Matter" became a thing on the Internet To not know and not care and not bother to look it up even though your anger about it consumes you

      Anyway I do think it's the same thing with trans activism Like there's this violent backlash right now to early transition Saying "the idea of trans kids was invented in 2014, before then NO ONE would've thought transition was for ANYONE but adults"

      "This is the result of escalating demands from the trans community leading to more entitlement This is the result of George Soros pouring money into the movement as part of a Great Reset agenda This is because of bored activists creating a new cause after they got gay marriage"

      No, dude You're just -- you're just plainly factually incorrect okay The discourse about trans kids is older than I am All the "trans elders" back in the day talked about knowing they were trans since they were kids, very clearly, in their memoirs and "transition narratives"

          When I was in college, which is now very long ago, there was TONS of online discourse about "late transitioners" vs. "early transitioners" I knew of someone who archly referred to herself on LJ as "one of those legendary teenage transitioners"

          It has always been a thing The knowledge of how delaying transition into adulthood wastes years of life and creates unnecessary medical consequences has always been a thing People just didn't believe it could be changed, the prospect seemed impossible
