This reminds me of Japan. I’ve not confirmed this myself, but it jives with my understanding of the culture. Binary trans people are generally less ‘disruptive’ to society and less of a perceived ‘problem’ to the mainstream because hey we can fit you into a box and its associated social roles. They really like their boxes and roles. But if you are queer in other more visible ways, like gay people trying to get married or be accepted socially, then that gets frowned upon for upsetting the apple cart.
Why do I care what the apple identifies as? I’m also not shaming people that are clearly stupid and claim they have a brain and the intelligence that goes with it.

Because the apple can’t identify as orange
hah, funny, in Dutch the literal translation of orange is Chinese apple. Curious 🧐
Same in German kind of. Maybe oranges can identify as apples but not the other way around?
