In addition, they know when it's 'you give them an inch, they'll take a mile.' To these people, "trans issues" is one of those. Even if they did it right, they'd demand a regular character who's a trans girl, and they'd demand her have one of the four main characters as a boyfriend, and they'd demand all four fight over her, and they'd demand that character be the new main character of the show...

And no misfortune had better come to them or else! It’s like how the people who were really happy there were gay characters in House of the Dragon lost their shit when one of them was killed…as if that and worse never happened to the straight characters. There was some real tantrums thrown over that happening.

Completely untrue; there's a pre-approved list of socially acceptable misfortunes to come to their same-identity baby. After all, you also can't show the character having no misfortune in their lives and being a happy, well-adjusted, idolized creature above the pathetic wrecks either...they have to suffer the accepted adversities so the people watching remember that they're supposed to be miserable forever for being born as part of this identity, that they have no hope of happiness in life, and they must grow old and bitter, filled with nothing but hate at their majority for plotting against them to make sure they had a wretched life.

After all, if you don't make all your media talk about how being a member of this group is so horrible that it's impossible not to be miserable forever if you're in the group due to how the world is rigged against you, then people might not be filled with hate towards their "other", and we can't have that, can we?
