I think this gets right to why it short-circuits a liberal's brain when a trans person pushes back at them, because their whole sense of identity is wrapped up in being One of the Good Ones, and usually all they think they have to do to achieve that is "not be a Republican"
@kathryntewson.bsky.socialA PSA to my fellow cis people who are (or want to believe they are) trans allies
If you are getting pushback from trans people
and your reaction is to be all “no! not me! I’m one of the good ones!”
please remember that “being one of the good ones” is something you DO, not something you ARE
