“ I never thought my cisgender, female-identifying nine-year-old would need to be defended against a transphobic attack.”
We trans folks have been warning people as much as we can for years and years that this is the natural and expected result of transphobia and hate, but few ever seem to hear us. 😞 The goal of these people isn’t just to drive trans people into the closet and make it impossible for us to exist in public, it’s also to enforce their rigid ideas about gender roles for everyone.
I am so exhausted. 😩
