Dude, I wasn't saying you aren't supportive enough. Just, that you are taking up too much space! This day is (was) literally meant to be a celebration of trans people and their struggles and you try to make it about yourself. So yes, it would be exactly the right occasion to for one day validate us. And if you don't want to, then just shut up.

    By this logic, anyone who isn't Black shouldn't talk for all of Black History Month. It's an absurd expectation.

    You're still saying your supporters have no right to a voice unless they're exactly like you. That is a very slippery slope, since, ostensibly, the point of a day of awareness is to promote conversation. That's exactly the sort of argument people make to oppose trans rights in the first place.

    Your anecdotes are cute but I think you're kinda missing the point where it's very explicitly about trans voices.

    With friends like you who needs enemies?

    Read what I said again, slower, and ask yourself why asking for a space for our voices to be heard feels like an attack to you.

    No my thesis is you're playing the victim card and it's fucking pathetic.

    How am I doing so? Please, let me know so that I can avoid doing so in the future. "Fucking pathetic" only indicates that you did not like what I said, not any alternative worldview other than "you're cis, and therefore the enemy."
