Remembrance

[flexibeast]

Today is Transgender Remembrance Day. If you're cisgendered, please take a few moments to ponder how the derisive-through-to-hostile attitudes often exhibited towards us transfolk by many people, both straight and queer, impact on our physical and mental health, and on our lives in general. And if you aren't already doing so, please consider making an effort to learn about our lived experience of our identity and the world, rather than simply assuming you know where we're coming from. We trans folk are a diverse lot, despite popular stereotypes; and i, for one, would appreciate it if you approached us as individuals rather than as a classificatory exercise. Thanks.
