I am literally transitioning.

I grew up being abused for my issues.

I have good reason to be afraid of actual transphobia.

I do NOT support the silencing of people for discussing women's rights and trans issues. Ignoring potential conflicts and concerns does NOT help.
The banning of GC subreddits, the suspension of women on twitter, the attacks against detrans people... these actions only limit our ability to have important conversations, and drive moderates to become actually extreme.

STOP. MAKING. ENEMIES.
Simply because people have a different perspective, or have concerns about how important issues are effected by activism does not make them "transphobic".

If we expect to be included in any way, we have to be open to disagreements and discourse.
This course won't just stop with your "enemies". We're all controversial in some way. The silencing will continue, and eventually everyone will be silenced.
First they came for strangers, and I said nothing. They came for neighbors, and I said nothing. They came for me, and there was no-one left to say anything.
