Agreed. Liberal identity politics plays this game with symbolic change when we need actual tangible protections for the trans community. That being said, I won’t fight against any symbolic changes and welcome them but I want systemic change more.

Yeah I’m not gonna say “no” to this or other changes of potentially problematic names, but it’s also like.. can we have legitimate change. Can queer and esp trans people feel safe in public first and then get into the minutiae.

Have you ever thought it's the minutiae that leads to the big stuff?

Sure it's all just lip service now, but sometimes small change leads to big change.
