Very well said. I sometimes think about what mainstream trans rights discourse will look like in ten years, and I wonder if news media will ever get better. Or if they are locked in a cycle of pandering to the lowest common denominator, of never taking a stance that matters unless they know most of their viewership will already be behind it. My heart tells me this is what they will be like forever, and that is sad. But I also think that we can still make real progress in spite of them. When the wind has sufficiently shifted, they'll pretend they were always on our side, and as disingenuous as that will be, it will still be a victory of sorts.
