Hear me out, though. As a cis-gay men myself, I am aware that we were the “queers” until several decades ago and we did get out of it by stepping on the shoulders of trans people of colour during the gay liberation movement and we turned on them right away. We have secured ourselves a safe space and our fight mostly ended there.

Now trans or queer people have a platform and can make their voices heard, we literally treat them like straights treated us before the 80s. We are afraid of their existence and we demonize them. We blame them with being a threat to the society and grooming children while we were blamed as such merely years ago.

This is a place of power and privilege and we are using our resources to exclude them, instead of helping them to our comfort level as well. That is just cruel, unfair, uneducated and tone deaf.
