You’re missing the issue, unfortunately. What you say is technically correct, but as long as a minority id actively persecuted they have to be actively shown to be normal and nice people to, well, normalize their existence. And right now the evil people are winning, so it’s even more important to mention it. We’re as far away from trans being normalized like left-handedness as it gets.
I see why this might even annoys some, but it’s not trans people who want to be in this situation. We (yes, hello 👋) just want to fucking live our lifes in peace and happiness, without the constant (additional) fighting and fear for our life.
About Lemmy… well, it’s the current alternative to corporate media. It’s just natural that those who’re vilified and cast’ out are the first to arrive here, as well as their allies. 😉
I’m curious how you would feel about a news platform that doesn’t use gender as a lens of viewing things through at all. Completely de-gender everything using gender neutral language.
Something like “Brave bystander rescue drowning baby while the parent struggles to respond”, applied to everything.
As of now it feels like an arms race. The bad actors highlight gender/sexuality disproportionately for every little negative thing they can find and the good guys respond by highlighting the actual insane amount of good things these groups do.
