It often feels like mainstream acceptance of queer people, particularly trans and nonbinary people, is contingent on there being few of us. When I was a kid witnessing arguments about gay marriage, statistics about LGBTQ people were so often presented in such a way as to reassure everyone else that we are not dangerous because we are rare. "It's not going to cause societal collapse ... because such a small percentage of people are gay."
And conservative rhetoric against queer people, particularly trans people, which explicitly refers to us as a "social contagion," really underscores that any perceived "increase" in sexual or gender diversity will be seen as a threat. If queer people are permitted to exist, we must be aberrant and isolated. If we are normal and natural and commonly occurring, it is because something has gone terribly wrong.
So. Forgive me if I bristle at the well-meaning argument that "these trans athlete bans are ridiculous, they're only going to affect a few dozen people!" I understand where they're coming from. But I think trans people should be free and abundant.
It is so hard to communicate how extreme the income distribution is in the US. Exponential is not sufficient to model it. And income distribution is more even than wealth!

I spoke with PinkNews about trans history and photography. We discussed visibility, the celebration of trans kids, and the erasure of trans people of color from history! Read it here: https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/05/06/trans-history-colour-photos-eli-erlick/

"The right" and "republicans" are two different things. Republicans are basically democrats 10-15 years ago.
