The coalition that wins the argument about who is most welcoming will be the coalition that wins our politics.
us.
Yeah.
I think you're absolutely right there.
And I think the thing with pronouns, too, is a prime example of where we've lost grace, though.
graceful.
Well, no, no.
I think there is a difference between someone who's intentionally misgendering
who make mistakes.
And I think that there has been, whether warranted or not, the perception that people are going to be shamed if they make mistakes.
But then I think you're absolutely right too that there is a distinction between treating me the way I want to be treated and everyone changing their behavior and sort of requiring this sort of
again, in-group language that exceeds just calling the person in front of you what they want to be called.
the day, the thing that we lost is that we're just talking about people trying to live their lives, trying to live the best lives they can.
We got into this rabbit hole of academic intellectual discourse that doesn't actually matter in people's lives.
We got into this performative fighting to show our bona fides to our own in-group.
And we lost the fundamental truth that all of those things are only even possible once you've done the basic legwork of allowing people to see trans people as people.
When you allow trans people to be seen as human beings who have the same hopes and dreams and fears as everyone else, once that basic conception of humanity exists, then all the other things, all the other conversations sort of fall into place.
Language inevitably changes across society, across cultures, across time, but it is a byproduct of cultural change.
And I just think we started to have what maybe were conversations that were happening in academic institutions or conversations that were happening in sort of in the community.
And we started having those out in public on social media and then demand that everyone else has that conversation with us and then incorporates what the dominant position is in that conversation and the way they live their lives.
