    She brought it on herself. The internet will do what it does and she knows that.

    She is the one with the time and resources to actually educate herself. Failing to do so is her own fault.

    I’m white and I advocate against racism and I assure you no amount of personal backlash or vitriol from racial minorities could ever change that view because it isn’t based in the way I’m treated, it’s a fundamental truth. She’s just transphobic.

    I also think if you think gender shouldn’t be that important, the whole basis of trans is kind of annoying.

    Except this is the attitude of “racism would go away if we all just stopped talking about race”.

    No, it wouldn’t. Because our culture is racist.

    Ignoring the problem doesn’t make it go away, just like pretending gender isn’t a big deal doesn’t make gender roles go away.

    It’s kind of like accepting the societal prescriptions for men and women and just saying, well then I’m a woman instead of just I’m a person who is what I am.

    Because that is the identity within our culture that is most comfortable for the person. Acknowledging that is not an advocation for the system, it’s harm reduction within the system.

    And the first step to abolishing gender is disassociating it from sex.

    Not to claim that you think differently, just expanding on that line.
