But it is totally rad 😎
But it is radical. Trans people face persecution in most parts of the world. We are the exception, and that’s a great thing.
Be radical, even if you are the last person on earth to support trans rights. Not because it’s the normal thing to do, but because it’s the right thing to do.
This confuses me because I was born and raised in a time that “radical” meant “cool” or “badass”.
So I’d say it’s Rad to support trans people but it’s not a radical position to take.Because radical has a different meaning in politics and people confuse it for the colloquial context.
One only references a surface level perspective while the other is referring to systemic level perspective.
In colloquial context, radical just means “uncommon/abnormal/strange”, so saying " support of trans rights is radical" means “support of trans rights is [strange/abnormal]”, which can be interpreted negatively.
In a political context, it is a radical position to support trans rights, as it calls for a fundamental change of how the system functions through social and structural reform.
It’s easy to support human rights. Sadly a controversial issue these days.
…it’s radical to stay the same
