Maybe trans people are tired of having their existence debated or being treated as a problem to solve (often in an unnuanced way that tries to simplify trans people in exactly the ways we are pushing back against).

You don't get to not have your existence debated, no one else has that privilege.

[locopati]

Seriously? That's your response. Who's debating your right to existence? Or do you get to take yours for granted?

[throwawa14223]

Yes, seriously. Pick a characteristic and someone out there says it should not exist. I've walked past people with megaphones saying my race should not exist. I've loudly been told my religion should not exist by employers. Having your existence questioned is normal and probably unavoidable whenever humans with different values bump into one another.

And because of that are people taking away your health insurance? Are people preventing you from getting necessary medical care?

Moving the goalposts. Dawkins is doing neither of those in the above article.

Seattle police laughed off one of their officers running someone over, saying the victim was low value.

Religious groups everywhere chant about death for non-believers.

Right wing fringe threaten to attack progressives regardless of their gender.

Apparently not liking Israeli government makes one anti-semitic and inclined to reopen the death camps.

Don’t be so disingenuous; hate groups and those that marginalize the existence of others are all over.

Or stay disingenuous, stare at one burning tree ignoring the rest of the forest on fire.
