This is a bit blown out of proportion. Most collages in America are overwhelmingly supportive of trans people were it iseven a plus to put on a collage app. During pride month we saw monolitic neoliberal war profiteering & planet destroying corporations like Raythion, P&G, Halliburton, Amazon, J&J, etc.. all have over welming support for trans/pride issues.

At some point when you -got through your ivy league college because you said you were trans on the app -get told by the president that he supports trans rights -come home and can find and a plethora queer media -get a job at Halliburton because they want to hire more trans people then spend your days making weapons help bomb wedding in 3rd world countries.

You have to come to the realization that you are not part of a "resistance" anymore.

Yes there's still some lingering issues in some red states and the more people take this overtly victim mentality the worse the pushback will become. It's gotten to the point now we're there is ever become a large rift between the gay/lesbian community and the trans community because of narratives like this.

You've been sniffing too much glue from those "collages" of yours if you think trans people aren't still widely discriminated. It is literally illegal to transition in some states
