Exactly this. My trans friends activaly avoid trans spaces for this exact reason. They just want a quiet life where they are treated equally. Seems like queerness has become so performative lately, I know it’s giving a lot of allies cold feet (not the best reason I know, but you gotta understand that some of em are here to support “rights”, and what they’re getting now is a whole ass culture completely detached from the rest of society in terms of norms).
Comment on Britain is much more liberal-minded than it was 40 years ago, study finds

Great news overall. Not surprised support for Trans and their rights has dropped. A noisy minority have alienated, abused and eroded the good faith of the majority.

Trans people are often fighting for their own existence in the eyes of society.
A society that it sometimes feels like at best turns a blind eye, and at worst would prefer they not exist at all.
The minority are noisy, because people were not listening.
And the majority are not noisy, because they’re exhausted by half their social interactions being an uphill struggle, or navigating the kafaqueske trans healthcare system in the UK.

I think that goes for a lot of things. People are fatigued and running out of fucks to give. The irony is crying “equality!” in such ways that has driven division and created tribes. It’s a really sad thing to see it all going to shit. We had such hopes and the right idea for a while, but human nature isn’t very compatible with respect for others, just getting the most for one self. It’s how we got number 1 status after all.
