Not a fad, not a trend, not a movement. There have been variations of trans people for thousands of years throughout various cultures around the globe. It's a human thing. The only thing you see happening is growing awareness, growing acceptance, and growing self-discoveries. It's not going away. You can bitch and whine about people being different if you want, but I think bowling might be a more interesting hobby though. Try bowling instead of transphobia. Yes, calling it a movement is transphobic, no, that doesn't necessarily make you a bad person, it just makes you ignorant, and given the confidence of your predictions, stupid and arrogant.

They straight up said they hope they're wrong. I think what they mean is more they expect us to lose our civil rights movement, or at least backslide in the near future. Which....i wish i disagreed

You either read what I said wrong or you're too busy trying to find something to get mad over.
