    Being trans in the abstract is good and virtuous. Being trans in reality is messy and difficult. It’s not that you’re only trans when it’s convenient, it’s that you’re only trans when you’re the specific trans person they made up in their head who totally agrees with them and also happens to think they should be able to say the n word when they’re singing Lil Baby songs in the car on their way to their job as the associate director of client relations at some regional insurance company. You’re supposed to say things to them like “yass kween” and “slay” and “you’re such a Ravenclaw,” not anything politically challenging.

    • Yeah, there’s a big difference in my transness between being convenient for me vs being convenient for them. I suppose that’s part of the joke. Cis liberals trying to “educate” me about my transness and saying I needed to Vote Blue No Matter Who was a big reason I quit Twitter. They really can’t handle the idea that someone is further left than they are.
