    As opposed to what, the monarchies and theocracies that have oppressed trans people for thousands of years?

      Yep. Democracy is a tool like a hammer. Is a hammer transphobic? Certainly not. The people wielding the tools is a different story.

      I’m not in the position ATM to see if this is just horrible clickbait titling. Or a genuine bad faith question. But I am trying to consider which would be worse.
