So let's clarify your position: do you believe that trans people enjoy enhanced safety or protection relative to their cishet counterparts?
I think there is cultural power and there is political power.
trans people like most other minority groups in America have limited political power.
but they do have cultural power. elite intuitions largely have totally absorbed modern gender ideology and probably have more power than any other minority group to enforce speech norms and police the bounds of acceptable discourse.
Do you believe that the prevalence of mainstream transphobic content has no impact on the wellbeing of trans people?
According to Neilson's LGBTQ people make up are more represented in film and television than they are in the general population.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people make up an estimated 4.5 percent of the U.S. population, and, according to Nielsen's inaugural report, they were 6.7 percent of the top 10 recurring cast members in the top 300 programs on broadcast
In a 6-3 conservative supreme court transgender people rights recognized as being protected under the civil rights act.
It seems to me if all this has happened and it still hasn't put a dent in the trans murder rate
perhaps it isn't media that is harming trans people. perhaps they have material needs that won't be addressed by think pieces?
