That word— disability—shifted this whole muddy mess into crystal clarity. What a fantastic analogy.

My brother was trying to talk sense~ into me the other day and he said “Okay, you don’t believe in gender identity. Fine. For you it’s a philosophical thought experiment; for trans people it’s their *lives*.” No, it is also my life because of the Unreasonable accommodations that are being demanded. When my rights are being infringed upon, it has gone way beyond thought experiment. Thank you for your contributions in language and analogy so I can have more coherent conversations about what’s happening.
