What we need to get rid of is the concept of the “other.” We are all similar enough as human beings that to exaggerate these slight variations is absurd and destructive. There’s always a “new other” for bigots and fools to rant about. The latest is trans people. We need to stop reacting to the latest bigotry and reject bigotry in its totality right now. We shouldn’t ever take the defensive about women, or whoever. We should say this: “You are talking about human beings and we aren’t interested in hearing from bigots. Grow up or shut up.”
