Benevolent indifference is fine for the most part under normal circumstances… But like there’s a lot of things happening where the democratic process is getting actively weaponized against us trans folks. That democratic process depends on numbers and advocacy that directs your representatives to stop creating new pressures and restrictions on trans people is something where the numbers are sorely lacking and trans folk are generally tasked with just educating people they are essentially screaming into the void for help with actually writing to godsdamned representatives.
Like “white savior” stuff is a problem when you swoop in and try and protect someone as an individual. You can call your representative and get a trans high five for free because its not condescension or annoying. It’s just plain help for a lot of us who feel sorely left behind by a process that doesn’t do the greatest job of protecting minorities.
