People are criticizing Eli Erlick for openly distributing hormones and puberty blockers to minors, even if they support what she does, because you're supposed to keep that kind of thing a secret. On the contrary: openly breaking bad laws in order to help other people is one of the best ways to force the state onto the defensive and it constitutes a form of propaganda. Marijuana legalization activists proudly smoke in public, abortion rights activists in places where it's criminalized will proudly boast of distributing misoprostol. Kill the cop inside your head who says you should keep something secret when you're not doing anything wrong

Keeping it in the shadows confirms the statist narrative that there's something shameful about it
