    Yes, I do. This is a space where trans rights and trans people are respected. That means that their existence is accepted as fact, not debated in the comment section.

    There are numerous places and resources available for that person to educate themself, if they had chosen to do so before commenting. Instead, they chose to comment from a place of ignorance. We have no obligation to offer them that education here.

        if other people were forced to treat my every feeling with rubber gloves, I wouldn’t feel respected

        It’s a good thing that this isn’t what’s happening, then :) if people were treating trans people’s every feeling with rubber gloves, then we wouldn’t be four times as likely as a cisgender person to be the victim of a violent crime

        We don’t want the rubber glove treatment. All we want is to have the same right to bodily autonomy as straight white American men do-- free to go where we feel comfortable AND comfortable in our own skin wherever we go, with no one trying to legislate away our mastership over our own bodies.
