I’m in the comments looking for a reason… I mean, it was quite common to have men kiss on the cheek in some political spaces… what does being trans change to the equation? Is that “worse”?
Have you paid attention to politics lately? Obviously it isn’t actually worse, but the left and right almost everywhere right now are racing to villainize trans people. Most politicians will do everything they can to avoid even being seen in the same room as a trans person right now.

It’s like Mr. Rogers sharing a soak in the pool with a black character in the 60s.
It would be like an American politician in 1984 putting his arm around a a gay man for a photo op. Or indeed shaking his hand.

because trans basically has no represenation anywhere.
