The campaign to ban the Harry Potter game has officially begun!
Funny that we're now at the point where Rowling is championing people who openly call for genocide and say the fewer trans people the better for a sane world it would be

this is something I don't get, era has lost all perspective on trans-ness
at its core, we're talking about a negative thing, right? you are born in a body that doesn't match your mental image of yourself, a mismatch or genetic error has occurred, there is a self-identified problem that needs to be corrected
this is the meaning of "trans," moving from one state into another, because the previous state was undesirable
in an ideal world, many fewer people would experience this undesirable state of being and need to transition out of it, right? or the transition itself would be quick, painless, and perfect
like what's the alternative to an ideal reduction in the number of those who are suffering, do we want to INCREASE that number? for the sake of having a larger, healthier community of people who can all be increasingly miserable together?
it seems like a cyberpunk future is the opposite of what era would want, snap your fingers and suddenly you're indistinguishable from a natal woman, because then you're "just" a woman and lack the identity of being part of an oppressed support group
if people pass completely and are happy in their new skin, the entire culture shrivels up into nothing
