And why would I do that? I think you're misunderstanding my point. All I meant to say is trans people are people, and I treat them as people not as trans. Same applies to literally any person I encounter. If someone comes out to me as trans, I'll have to reply with "ok, cool, I hope you're happy", because I just don't care about people's identities? And then continue on with our conversation.
Trans people exist, but bringing this topic up on every political issue, I think, makes it even worse for them. Bigots and assholes exist, and they will always try to pin their misfortunes on vulnerable people. Yesterday it was the gays, today it's trans people. On Tuesdays, it seems to be Indian immigrants and so on. The best I can do is treat people as people, vote for people who don't rally on hate towards others, and continue with my life.
Also, I don't live in the states :)
