I think that’s a bit cherry-picked. I can’t even remember tone-policing being a defining part of Obama’s presidency…

It was pretty common on Reddit around that time with people saying you were trans phobic if you didn’t want to sleep with trans people.

Yeah I would say they’ve given ground on that quite a bit. They’re busy trying to defend a trans persons right to exist so they don’t really have the momentum to start calling you phobic if you don’t start sleeping with every gender under the sun.
