Speak for yourself. As a trans person, I stopped using Instagram entirely because it got to a point where every top level comment, regardless of the subject matter, was a transphobic one (even ones not even REMOTELY related to LGBTQ+ issues).
It was never like this before the recent GOP push in anti-queer rhetoric. It’s the worst it’s been in my life, tbh. Worse than when my peers used to casually call things “gay” as an insult. Because this time, the rhetoric is genocidal.
I didn’t mean to downplay the harm caused by the hateful garbage they’re spewing. My son is trans, and sees the same stuff you do on his Instagram.
All I was trying to express is that as aggressive and awful as it is, I see a lot of hope in the fact that the younger generations seem to be disgusted by it, rather than susceptible to it.
But I’ll defer to your personal experience on this, though I desperately hope the next election will be a resounding rebuke against the “groomer” shit.
