Today is no different than yesterday- Trans liberation isn't going to come from a ballot box filled with cis votes. It is going to come from the actions of trans people working together for our own interests.
To the corporations, we are nothing but data points and income streams that can be exchanged as part of a deal. To many of the trans users who rely on these platforms for their only understanding community, losing access to said platforms means losing access to their whole social world.
The anger around people using new words to describe themselves has nothing to do with the word itself, and everything to do with who gets to be understood.
Trans folks who are plagued with self doubt are the hottest, most capable people on the planet. Time doesn't just have to go in a circle. Time can move forward.
