   @diceynes @Metamedia I also hear veteran trans women complain a lot about how increased trans visibility compromise their ability to pass, because people are more sus and know what to look for more. Just look at the state of the internet (not that it represents “normie” physical reality directly) in which deranged people constantly scream “TRANNY!!” at each other over absolutely anything: having slightly bigger wrists in photos where they’re holding up objects, or even simply using discord.

     @diceynes @Metamedia I have some firm convictions regarding certain philosophical and political camps and their need to infest absolutely everything and turn it into some greater self-serving narrative and IMO this is one of the spheres in which that has sadly been active.
     
     As for the state of things now, I think it's a double-edged sword. The trans people I know who began their journey 10+ years ago didn't have as easy a time as those coming up now (for example, DIY was harder to acquire, as were legit scrips) but they also weren't thrown into communities that are as unhealthy as a lot of the ones that attract (young, especially) transitioners now.
