I feel like the most important thing anyone can do for trans people is to normalize gender nonconformity. Kids should be taught it’s okay to be a masculine girl or feminine boy and we should try to make it where those things are just like a part of personality and not because of someone’s sex. Visibly trans people shouldn’t be treated badly because they don’t adhere to expectations for their sex. I feel like GC (actually GC, not trans hating conservatives appropriating it) do this, but it is the most important thing to me because it helps everyone and doesn’t reinforce gender roles.

This is what GC (ie. Second Wave) feminists have been doing since at least 1965. Hence the name 'gender critical.' We are critical of socially enforced gender roles and stereotypes. We don't care if someone is gender nonconforming in fact we embrace it. The basis of actual feminism (not libfem nonsense) is that women's oppression is rooted in our biology.
