    The frustrating thing about articles such as this, is that it all feels like performative liberal elitism.

    My daughter is trans, so my wife wrote a book, and I discovered a deep philosophical question that solves transphobia. You see, people need to ask themselves something, and if they do, they’ll understand and stop being transphobic. So I wrote an opinion piece for a LGBTQ+ website, to let everyone know that I, a cishet white man, have woken up.

    Meanwhile, Trans Daughter: I was thinking we could talk about a new hairstyle and clothes?

    Who is this article for? Because this really reads as “I am enlightened, now recognize how progressive I am.”
