Well, voting would be one thing.
I'm going to tell you a secret. The people in your political system who tell you they are pro-trans are mostly lying. Deep down, most of them believe (as most people do, regardless of politics) that trans people are mentally ill or delusional. They pretend otherwise because they want to be
seen as tolerant, because they understand that there is a societal standard of tolerance and if they don't meet it they will be dismissed as bigoted.
And that is why people like JK Rowling are so destructive, because if you give those people license to say what they actually believe, if you are able to reassure them that they can say whatever awful, complete uninformed garbage actually fills their defective brains, you end up with the situation we are currently in the UK, where there are
no parties that could remotely be described as pro-trans, where hateful and bigoted statements about trans people are basically everywhere in politics, where the far-right has essentially succeeded in building bridges into every political party by exploiting a hatred of trans people, and where voting no longer matters or accomplishes anything.
Trans people rely on a very thin veneer of civility, and once that civility breaks it is gone and all you can do at that point is wait for a generation to die. You may not be there yet, and you may not feel this is a "major issue" worthy of your attention. That is not the case here, and by the time you are capable of recognizing that it is not the case in your political system it will already be too late.
I am not going to pirate a game. Do you really consider that more moral than buying it?
Yes.
After all, any harm done to any innocent person by your decision to pirate a game rather than buying it is going to be, as you put it, completely insignificant.
But i don't want you to. I don't care.
I know you don't care. I always knew you didn't care and frankly, I'm glad you've given up pretending that you care, because it's annoying watching you pretend to be a good person.
You
know how deeply fucked up it is to value your ability to pretend to be a wizard over my ability to recieve medical treatment. That's why you need to excuse yourself by pretending that's not what you're doing, it's why you need to try and quantify the precise fraction of a number of trans people you've killed so you can feel better that that number is, by your estimation, negligibly low. You need me to tell you you're not at fault, that you're just a small part of a bigger machine and you're not responsible for what happens, but some part of you will always know that's a lie.
But if you want to pretend otherwise and live in that lie for a while, then fine. Go play your disappointing wizard game. If you don't care what I think, then that should be enough.
