OK this to me is the perfect example. You say trans people are human. (a sentiment which i agree with BTW). How has you arguing with someone online changed ANY off the current anti trans bills out there?

Instead of arguing online and accomplishing nothing maybe instead you should be doing real work in the real work to stop that from happening.

But no, people will bitch and complain online, and then throw there hands up in the air and say "well at least I tried." when nothing changes.

So, are you suggesting that people aren't allowed to complain about things, are you suggesting that complaining about things cannot be done in tandom with works that better the lives of trans, or are you suggesting that people that actually want trans people to have better lives don't get to complain about things? Because every one of those implications are dumb as shit, especially if you have any historical knowledge of civil rights movements.

No, instead you've taken a stance historically used to oppress civil rights movements, using a false dilemma to essentially proport that one cannot talk about the issue because that is wasting time not doing some unknown thing about it.

And by virtue of your own post, why are you arguing with people about people arguing instead of helping trans people get the rights they deserve?

I'm not arguing. I'm responding.
