I kinda think that while passoids might be optics soldiers because they can work as examples of “good” trans people to cissoids, and the existence of even one “good” trans person can be deradicalizing for a cissoid. But I’m kinda afraid of this setting up a trap where cissoids will just compartmentalize the passing and attractive trans people as being the normal and good ones, and the less passing and more disenfranchised trans people as being the bad ones. Cissoids won’t have to stop being transphobic if a tranny “deserves it”, and they get to feel like they’re not transphobic because they know one or two trannies they don’t hate. Maybe that’s just a stage you have to go through while trying to improve trans people’s standing, but we should probably start thinking beyond it as well because I find it hard to accept such a small improvements considering how bad things are for trans people right now.
