20 years later, things look very different.
Yeah, there’s a coordinated legislative attack on Trans existence by the right. But things look so different literally everywhere else.
By their own words, the right started the NC state bathroom law issue as a way to start the broader conversation about Trans people, to get the public comfortable with the topic so they could then denounce it. That was a serious miscalculation because younger generations are queer AF.
Trans people keep coming up in the media now, in movies and shows and music, but now when there’s comedy about us, it’s usually making fun of the people who don’t accept us. There are Trans characters who literally transition as part of the show. There are trans characters who act in their own gender without ever being identified. That’s so vastly different.
