Any rationale for keeping the advocacy to DMs and maintaining an innocent public face of “what are trans people?, no we’re just trying to… erm… MAGA with better healthcare that’s all” until it’s too late and we’ve tricked them into basic decency

^a question that I suppose I should’ve asked privately

Yeah - when bigots are loud in their mockery and attacks, it hurts trans people to NOT hear anyone also vocally supporting them. That isn't too say that quiet support isn't valuable -- but so is loud support, in a different way, and squelching loud support is still a damaging trade.
