#been seeing a lot of freezing takes by ppl in trans spheres and y’all.... pls be kind

[ethereal-drivel]

there’s literally nothing trans ppl can do to make ALL cis ppl respectful and understanding of us. this whole “doing things like xyz makes the community look bad!!” is just blaming ourselves instead of cis ppl who would so happily be openly transphobic if they weren’t afraid of being called a bigot. cis ppl who are willing to “accept” trans people so long as they fit their idea of what gender and presentation means. we must be kind to each other... we must understand that not everyone WANTS to be understood by those steeped in cis ideas
