Generally I would say I expect to agree with her on most things and I would certainly expect to agree with her about homophobia, but clearly we do not see eye to eye about transphobia. I agree with you about how the same tropes as we had in the 1980s are re-emerging as anti-trans instead of anti-gay.

My brother mostly didn't like being labelled 'cis' which is a rather lesser (if pretty dumb) bad take in my book. I've been rehashing the discussion over in my head since then (obv being more eloquent!) and I hope we can move the needle another time, but yikes, it's not a view that's going to shift overnight.
