The sad thing is, the more and more things like this happen, the more and more it feels like many of the snarts openly WANT genocide against them. They have seen for the last decade that trans rights have moved so quickly, so fast compared to other social equality, that it's clear that most people are good and are saying "you want your seat at the table? All you had to do is ask. Welcome."

And this makes these people SICK. These are the children who grew up on a steady diet of Harry Potter and the Hunger Games, and they get physically ill seeing people happily give them their rights. They want oppression, they want genocide, because it's not about equality, equity, supremacy, or whatever, it's about getting to fight for something. It's about getting to be Katniss or Harry Potter and actually fight Nazis for their right to exist, and you don't get to fight for your right to exist when people are quite happy to let you exist and give you equality.

So you have people openly trying to hinder the fight so that they, personally, get to be the hero who gave their group equality.
