@v_urq @Galaxie_Ranger I don't agree that diminishing trans people's gender is a "niggling minor detail." It's kind of important.

@v_urq @Galaxie_Ranger As in this "niggling minor detail" is why people in North Carolina can't use public toilets.

@emily_esque @Galaxie_Ranger No, that's important, and the author you attack was strongly against it.

@v_urq @Galaxie_Ranger Yet the way @emilybazelon discusses trans people is exactly how anti-trans bigots describe trans people.

@v_urq @Galaxie_Ranger And @emilybazelon did it in a national platform in a way that will lead other cis people to think it's acceptable.

@emily_esque @Galaxie_Ranger @emilybazelon God forbid anyone ever think it was acceptable to make a mistake in language about trans people.

@v_urq @emily_esque @emilybazelon When that language results in real harm to people, yeah, it's unacceptable to make mistakes.

@Galaxie_Ranger @emily_esque It's hard for me to understand why trans folks aren't more harmed by hounding/running off all our supporters.
