How can they not understand that solidarity with trans comrades is just as important as solidarity with racial minorities, poor & working class people, etc? I've got even a more basic question than that. Who's business is it who I sleep with, aside from my partner? And what business is it of yours how I want to identify? ​ I mean, I'm a straight dude and it honestly baffles me why straight people are so hung up about people who are not them.
