@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.

@v_urq @emily_esque And out comes the tone police.

@Galaxie_Ranger @emily_esque As a trans man, it affects me directly if the people fighting these battles in my name do so poorly.

@v_urq @emily_esque Then call them out when they do so. Don't bend over and take "help" that ends up hurting you.
