  • You simply do not have to identify with men.

    I may be a man, but I remember what it was like to be a child and have a bigger person use their strength against me. So when I hear about a man doing that to a woman or white people doing that to minorities, I make the conscious decision to identify with the victims because I remember being a victim.

    Your identity is your choice.





  • Can’t speak to sitcoms, but I’m watching ER (1994) and it gave two excellent examples

    In season one, where it was more prestigious and Michael Crichton was more directly involved, there’s an episode where a trans women comes in and the doctors are uncomfortable treating her - which eventually leads to the patient’s suicide. The moral being that even this person who is strange deserves compassion from us.

    In season three, where it has become more of a formulaic tv drama, there’s an episode where a trans woman comes in and it’s played entirely for laughs, including the trans woman insisting that she gets bad PMS when on her period.
