“Harm reduction” rhetoric in trans spaces

I know this isn’t an isolated thing to the trans community, but as a trans person, it’s so infuriating to me to see how prominent “harm reduction” rhetoric is in the trans spaces on here. Being on those subs nowadays, it’s like almost every other post is a megapost detailing all of the reasons why Project 2025 would be so horrible for so many Americans, and in these posts, trans people in particular, and the necessity of voting for Biden.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to look down upon anyone, nor am I trying to downplay Project 2025 in any way. I’m not naïve about what it means for us. As trans people, we’re on the first of the line of fire and that’s more than abundantly clear, and it’s terrifying. Voting for Biden for so many is a desperate need to cling onto some semblance of agency and faith that we won’t all be led away to our end, that there’s a last line of defense that we can and should put up in our darkest hour.

However, it’s just downright infuriating how condescending and belligerent so many of these posters and commentators are. It’s like I can’t even connect with my own community anymore. It’s infuriating how much people on here have blindly placed their faith in the system, which under the Democrats nonetheless, has also led to the stripping away of our rights.
