I strongly suspect the answer to this riddle is because challenging oppositional sexism necessarily involves challenging traditional sexism as well, and most people either benefit from both or their male partners do and share the crumbs In short abolish heterosexuality and abolish the family

It's so weird how many people want a little wiggle room on trans apartheid as a treat!

...actually the Daily Wire "Lady Ballers" creators originally wanted to make it a documentary where they tried out for IRL women's basketball teams, but then they learned that they'd have to go on hormones in order to do it. That's why they made a fictional movie instead. Ben Shapiro said so himself

anyone ever notice that they try to wake up and handle the day that comes as gracefully as possible and then it's a hundred degrees and the ]state is on fire and every summer for the rest of your life will be like this and the only topic ever up for debate in your society is your personhood

the Trevor Project's yearly revenue is around $85 million. that's close to the yearly cost of all trans healthcare for every trans person on Medicaid in the US. even if they gave just 25% of that money directly to trans people, i bet it would save more lives than the call centers do.

am i allowed to talk about how weird it is that the main way liberals philantropize trans people is by donating money to liberal nonprofits for call centers that beg us not to kill ourselves, instead of directly funding our material needs which, when deprived, lead to suicidality? is that allowed?

Sorry i meant to say we need more celebrities to donate $100 million to suicide hotlines so we can call someone who will beg us not to kill ourselves when the state takes away our medication and housing, and then send the cops to our home if we say the wrong series of words. My bad.

Things like seemingly harmless NYT consumption are big deals to trans people because transphobia, despite being intense and escalating these days, is an oppression often rendered invisible. Trans people are used to being abandoned by cis people, so even small abandonments have an impact.
