    Imagine defending trans erasure simply because you believe it’s performative to depict them in a non-political light.

    If the comic depicted people protesting with signs demanding trans rights, or a doctor saying “I’m sorry but due to the new regulations I cannot prescribe HRT,” then yeah that would have political undertones. If it depicted a dude in a red hat saying “gender is binary and assigned at birth” then that would also be political.

    But this is just a kid coming out to their parents, and the parents are only concerned with what that means for their bet; implying that they accept the kid’s chosen gender. If that’s political, then so is parents accepting a kid’s decision to study art in college, because some people make education a political topic.
