    be careful with that line of thinking. People said the same about female leaders and if we look at the UK :

    Thatcher
    May
    Liz “The Cabbage” Truss

    If trans folk took over the government, it might turn out to be Caitlyn Jenner types.

      the issue is definitely the ruling of the government over us, and far less who is in the governement.

          there are defintitely differences between rulers, but when in history did rulers ever rule in favour of all people they rule over?
          all the different needs and desires are just too much for a few huamns to comprehend in full.

          and that is only if a ruler hasnt already given up their morals in order to achieve that power in the first place, and if they arent forced to focus on not losing that power to someone else.

          a truely “good ruler” seems like an unachievable ideal to me
