People think they have an existential fight because some tranny is pitching the beer they don't even drink anymore themselves. At best this is a complete distraction from anything that actually matters. At worst, it's a fight-intolerance-with-intolerance fantasy that makes people become the very thing they hate. I mean, look at Israel right now.
Yes, there is a fringe that wants to hold the whole nation hostage. I'm not advocating a non-engagement/passivist stamp, but I believe that the white team would do better being more publicly dismissive than drama queens about it.
It's "we've co-existed with trans people and drag queens all our lives, but some fringe today is aiming for a power grab to make us all conform completely to their needs and none of our own" versus "men wearing dresses are reading books in all your schools to molest your children". There's a difference. The first acknowledges the past, which the white team always glorifies, still signals empathy and compassion (how many people in the GOP senate have trans children again?) but while also not giving away its own sense of importance or power.
The second dismisses the past and promotes hysterical paranoia. Doing the second only begets more of the second. Like armed nukes, nobody wins those wars -- they become wars of attrition full of collateral damage and ultimately hating yourselves at the end of it. It also demonizes their own. Conservatives with trans or gay kids are forced into cognitive dissonance to save face in these wars, which is completely f'ed up.
The only jamming-down-throats about this Bud Light tranny I've seen is coming from conservative media. They're creating their own problem and publicizing it.
We need to be careful about mental illness and obscene displays of debauchery as a universal label. We have both of those and you don't have to be trans or non-binary to qualify. But you do need to call out normalizing it in either situation. There comes a point where Kanye West's mental illness on public display isn't so entertaining anymore either and gets problematic. Him being trans has nothing to do with it.
Just because someone puts their pronouns on their LinkedIn profile doesn't mean you have to. It might shock you, but I usually identify more as a centrist. There's things I hate on the fringes of all sides. So in some ways, I need the white team to be viable and rational and human to stay in the game. To not get distracted to become voodoo witch hunters that discredit much of what they stand for... giving ammunition to the "enemy".
Like white blood cells, the white team plays a critical role in society in calling out the stupid and the self-important as part of our collective social immune system. But when it loses the plot and goes all Hispanic panic, that's just called leukemia.
