A new analysis argues that years of coverage shifted trans people from rights-bearing communities into a controversy frame that served anti-trans politics.
Exactly. They did not accidentally turn trans rights into a debate stage. They chose that frame, kept publishing inside it, and helped make basic human dignity sound negotiable.
I must admit that I have never understood the obsession with the transgender community. I'm 80, female and couldn't tell you if I have ever been in the bathroom with a transgender person. Maybe it's because I am just going to the f*cking bathroom! Indigenous people call them two spirits, sounds kinda cool to me. I guess I'm just curious why so many people are afraid of different people. Weird
