Commiserating doesn’t get people to stop doing that shit, and often going public is the only way to inflict consequences on the wrongdoer, if their boss and coworkers are willing to look the other way.

It doesn’t have to be the same as rape for it to be something that nobody has to shut up and take without complaint.

I will say that trans actors who are less fully transitioned playing those types of trans characters makes perfect sense. Visually, it’s more true to life than putting a wig and dress on a cis actor, like with “Transparent”.

Ah, I thought that was particular to blackface, given its uniquely disgusting history in this country.

If that’s what you’re referring to wrt to “he raped children”, it carries the disturbing implication that children can enjoy being raped and look back on it fondly for their entire lives.

I don’t think that makes you unprogressive, though unfortunately the situation is sometimes unavoidable (for instance, my wife requires my assistance changing due to a disability).

Who thought that forcing teenage girls to change next to men is a good idea?

As a matter of fact, ignore this comment.
