There are no “legitimate concerns” about trans people. There aren’t any about women’s safety or fairness in sports or kids being kids or fucking toilets. If there were you’d have heard of them before 2018. I am a cis white woman so you have to listen to me or I’ll cry.

I think that one of the very real reasons why people are burning out on streaming as a form is that when you sign in, there's a WALL OF STUFF and all of it looks VERY MUCH THE SAME FLAVOR and choice fatigue (particularly when there's not that much of a choice) provides for a lot of friction.
