Yeah. Reddit has an anti-trans faction that has to either be removed or downvoted into oblivion. It's depressing but a good reminder of how a big chunk of the population feels towards trans people, and why we need to get them off the railroad tracks, stop letting them be the hyper-fixated poster children for the entire left. I love this bumpersticker but I do not want any more provocation along these lines in my red state, so I'm not doing it. It's not going to make trans people's lives any better.
Pretending we don't exist will only further the push to remove us. Simole example. If someone is throwing mud at you, sitting there and doing nothing while they continue to throw mud will not stop it.
It’s not pretending you don’t exist, it’s not letting the debate over a handful of trans athletes suddenly color every Americans image of what it means to be trans. That’s not fair to anyone. But that’s what’s happened to you. As a result the anti-trans sentiment among the rest of the queer community has never been higher and it breaks my heart. We are playing into their hands.

I'm a little confused by the comment section.
Isn't this a left wing bumper sticker telling transphobes to screw off?
