I was born in the early 90’s, and have known about trans people for as long as I can remember. Why, all of a sudden, are trans people/ the trans community so important in American politics?
I don’t understand why this community is NOW perceived as some battleground for political stances?
Please don’t take me the wrong way… But I’d like someone to explain to me the nuances of this because to me it just seems like a nonsensical distraction from actually important issues. Not to say trans rights are not important, but it just seems like this attack has sprouted out of nowhere?

I think it’s combination of two things. Overall, society has become more accepting and accommodating to various minorities, and that is then also reflected in legislation. But on the other hand we have hardcore-conservatives who need some kind of “other” to have as their enemy that can be attacked. Gay and black people used to be that and it’s trans people turn now.
