Never mind that sexual predators could likely have better success in a janitor’s jumpsuit, nor the fit that such crimes remain, well, crimes. Or we’re going through all this to gain a foothold into women’s restrooms to assault women and girls. Transgender people are supposedly going through the challenges of transition in a hostile society so that we can claim fame and fortune in women’s sports, perpetuating third patriarchal tropes of male dominance. They’re not difficult to find between the lines of anti-transgender laws, on right wing media, and on the lips of certain famous fantasy authors and has-been comedians. It is not hard to find some of the stories out there about transgender people right now.
Left without a real threat, we are stitched into a patchwork of fears, tailor made for all situations. For the most part, we simply want to be left alone to live our lives as we ought to.įor some, however, the idea of people choosing to transition is somehow a great fear, one that they need to blow up to titanic proportions.
You would think that discussing a group of people who have literally hacked the code of their own bodies to present in their corrected gender would be pretty fantastic, but transgender people are remarkably mundane.
