I understand why people dont want the trans rights meme to be the only form of allyship cis people show for us but real talk id much rather it catch on for kids and teens to start saying TRANS RIGHTS for the meme then spouting transphobic bullshit for the meme

there was a post going around not long ago about how the rise of the alt right is directly related to how “marketable” its memes are to impressionable youth.  And how the more left/liberal/normal fuckin human being side of things isn’t coming up with quite as catchy memes.

So yeah.  If “trans rights” becomes a meme and I hear my 12 year olds parroting it… believe me, they don’t know what “subscribe to Pewdiepie” means either, but I’d rather have them scream ‘trans rights” 80 times in a class period.
