Democracy is transphobic. Democracy is putting the majority in control of the minority
That’s not what democracy means. It isn’t a democracy if it doesn’t protect minorities.
And it isn’t a democracy if the majority can rule without rules.
A democracy has very, very tight limits on the power the majority can exert, and very strong protections in place for minorities.
Without those aspects, it’s just mob rule.
