As a trans person, I find it interesting that so many people have opinions on an illness that truly sucks. It’s rough reading every day that you are “wrong” about something you suffer from. I wish folks could see the losses we experience when we transition. I think if they did, they might extend a little more grace and compassion.
(That said, I do agree with you on nuance)
Nuance is not a popular thing in the US in recent decades. The false dichotomy appears to be more than our collective favorite logical fallacy, but some people’s favorite avocation.
I blame the media, as well as people. People's "news" have been reduced to headlines or 30 second clips on tiktok/insta. Of course they won't convey nuance.
And of course content creators / news aggregators know this so they purposely strip all nuance out of their reporting.
Nuance is the enemy when you are trying to run a propaganda campaign and push an agenda. Blaming the American people is victim blaming.
