there's a lot of people who are taking firm stances on this latest anthology that's been going around trans circles, and it's just, like...
we realize you're convinced of your stance. also, many of you were just as convinced of the *diametrically opposed* stance last year when Isabel's story was published.
try not to be mired in the moment like this. try to think about whether the objections that seem so real right now, ... whether you'll even remember them next year.
it is so, so easy to get caught up in social media reactivity storms. so easy to be convinced of things for what turns out to be almost no reason at all.
and we think everyone owes it to each other to do some introspection, to understand your own psychology enough to see how that works.
until we all do that hard work, the trans community will keep being goaded into attacking itself. it's tragic and infuriating.
for the removal of doubt, we should say: this thread is not taking a position on the latest controversy. we don't feel like we know enough to do that. it's making a larger point about controversies of this kind.
