Transness, as it exists, is embedded in some pretty fundamental layers of material reality... How can I describe it; @foldablehuman.bsky.social put it best; you can convince someone of flat earth, but then you have to convince them that lagrange points don't exist, or like, the satellites that make

She helped pass a bill—which is 100% part of liberalism. Maybe you don’t like the bill. Maybe the bill will hurt some people and have bad outcomes. But that’s part of liberal democracy.

This Bulwark article is a perfect example of "the system is more important than what it does" thinking combined with "you just don't *understand* how the system works" and "elections are all that matter" mindset. Together, these are a big part of how we got into this mess
This is why I don’t trust the "Never Trump" Bulwark guys. They’re perfectly comfortable with real people being harmed, so long as the harm comes via a process they can label “liberal democracy.”

What happens to the various people who 'subscribe' to this 'trans ideology' in her conception? Do they all just 'snap out of it'? Does the genie somehow magically get put back in the bottle? Is she universally thanked, or is there even a shred of resistance? If so, how is that addressed?

It would not be difficult, practically speaking, for someone from within the journalist/commentary clique whom Suzanne considers peers, to drop her an email and ask her what the 'killing off' of 'trans ideology' would look like, in real terms, including and especially for those immediately affected.

Worth remembering: some of the most horrific policies in history were enacted through “proper” legal processes. The Nuremberg Laws were passed by a legislature. Jim Crow was law. Apartheid was law.

History is full of examples of democratic systems producing legalized cruelty. The idea that “this is just liberal democracy at work” has always been how people justify harms they don’t personally feel.

So I think there should be some understanding around why people who’ve already been told their representatives have a tentative commitment to defending their right to be are concerned about someone like MTG being embraced. There’s more to coalition-building than simple addition.

really hard to take the “MTG is oppressing trans people the right way” crowd today also seeing this
As I said recently in The Guardian:
"Despite their hopes to the contrary, anti-trans campaigners have not won the hearts and minds they believed the Supreme Court would give them"
So they turn to this; desperate, fascistic calls for the destruction of those they hate (framed as ideas, not people).
