I meant “largely” as a very large qualifier. The threat is very real, I wanted to contrast the difference between the actions being taken against trans people and women’s rights more generally. The right is actively using trans women as boogeymen to take rights away from all trans and gender non-conforming people, while making moves to try and defund planned parenthood and other horrible shit.
It’s not either/or it’s both- but the fight for maintaining women’s rights is a long one, and a fight which we have a huge amount of political capital behind. Trans people’s rights are a hotter fire at the moment, but everything is burning.
