when we say "trans rights are universal rights", what we mean is that the right of self-determination of identity and expression is a fundamental right for everyone. that is what we are fighting for.

authoritarianism is, on the other hand, focused on the assignment of roles and rules against members of society. "you were born under the sign of the penis, therefore, you are a man" "your parents christened you 'Manifold Hitler Dickbottom', you must appeal to a judge to change this" "you can't wear fox ears, it's *unprofessional*" are all authoritarian constraints on these fundamental rights.

our natural state is one of endless self-determination and creativity and expression. we are biologically weird. assigned wonderful at birth. my birth certificate is hilariously incorrect, and yours might be too. let go and change your name or fuck with your hormones or agitate the system or whatever.

the cyberpunk future is here, and everything assigned to you needs to be destroyed
