it's honestly adorable to watch cis folks engage with trans issues when they clearly never have bothered before because they're so painfully lacking in knowledge and experience that they can't even notice what's happened
pointing out laws without even the slightest hint of catching the irony that nobody's ever given a damn about any of that until it hit your licensed nostalgia game and now conversations are for once actually reaching people
If you want to point ahead to the dumb spiteful types go ahead but they have never once given a shit about us in the first place, and meanwhile I've been seeing plenty of honest care and learning from folks who've been entirely ignorant until now. That's whether they ultimately play the game themselves or not but y'all can't even notice because you can't take your eyes off yourselves and your own desires. The Rowling conversation used to be that she doesn't really hate trans people but now that facade is gone, the conversation has now become about entirely disassociating and making up for her even so much as inserting a trans character in the game because it's now entirely accepted what kind of person she is. Even while you try to look down at us you can't see your very own actions attempting to appease with new ideas that you never bothered with before.
Yeah there's a bunch of assholes - but it's so very clear that you've never had to engage in trans discourse before because that isn't the slightest bit new for us, it's the kind of shit trans people put up with on the daily but you were never just there for that.
