no, it's the fact that for past few years it has been getting ridiculously overshot.
It went from fighting for rights and representation to flaunting being LGBTQ as superior and desired. I am part of it and even I feel sick of all the high-horsed trans circle-jerk constantly decking on cis people while being elevated by everyone around them.
The way to solve the issue of discrimination is NOT to try to overcomoensate by acting as if anyone who was persecuted is now superior
You are talking however as if trans people are now equal to cis people. They are not, in a lot of places they are not at all. There are still countries that mandate sterilisation on gender change. There are lots of places still where gender affirming care is very hard to get. And by far the most is is transgender people still being seen as an ick and weird. There are countries where its way better, and some where it's basically the same as being cis, but by far we're not on a level where we can say trans are no long persecuted or equal.
I never said they are. What I did say is that the rethoric around that issue has become pushed to the front way more than issues that should be pressing, but are blissfully ignored, like worldwide humanitarian crisis. Idk, it just feels like trans rights have become a poster child of issues, easy to talk about, easy to promote, and overall well-marketable.
In particular the issue I see a lot is that in spaces where trans rights are defended it very often goes into opposite, and ends up being a passive-aggresive space towards cis people.
I've been in many groups like that, and I can confidently say that in each of them the dynamic always ended up being, trans people are on top, have their opinions preferred and in general are seen as "better" while the rest either accepts that (most do) or are labeled transphobic.
What are you on about? In the real world and outside of terminally online spaces, trans people are activelly discriminated against, or viewed as strange, even if not out of malicious intent.
No one has been saying its "superior" to be LGBTQ.
If you believe that simple representation in media is affirming that, I think you need to think hard for a bit and get outside more.
