Universal

I am increasingly disinterested in transgender-focused subject matter because most of what touches it is really about the universal suffrage of all minorities. Thus social justice and equality is what we are always dealing with.

Prejudice is largely an irrational phenomenon because as we attempt to apply logic and critical thinking it quickly falls apart under any level of scrutiny. Human beings are emotional before they are rational and crowds can be swept into a frenzy by having the right type of messaging from bad faith actors seeking to capitalize.

Whether it was women's suffrage or the civil rights movement of the 1960's, there was always underlying hatred sparked largely by the fear of loss of status and power. The unknown frightens people to death.

Therefore viewed with a wider lens the issue of transgender rights is much the same as any other human issue. It is about universal justice.
