also a million other characters, but i saw someone arguing silence of the lambs wasn’t transphobic the other day so that’s on my mind

    Right. And this ex friend just sides with the dominant narrative on those rather than listen to my lived experiences as a trans woman.

    Idk sometimes I think the lack of media literacy is on purpose to help make them not have to question their preconceived biases.

      yeah, if a cis person doesn’t realize it’s transphobic before it’s pointed out that’s sus, but i can maybe accept that they just never thought about it. but if they try and argue with a trans person about it, it has to be willful ignorance
