I am not trans even though I have been asked because of my super strong support of trans people.  I have lost friends who wouldn’t accept trans people using a public bathroom with them even though all private functions happen in enclosed little stalls.  I do have distant family members who are trans and fully supported by family.  More important I can clearly see the same negative vile things said about trans people are the same things pushed against gay people when I was a struggling gay teen being pushed by the same groups on the same ideas of victimhood.  They were mostly driven by hyper Christian Nationalist religious groups and those who demanded that traditions along with society never change from when they were young and happy.  These same groups and feelings are in play against trans people.  They are simply the homosexual aids scare of the 1980s.   Just as I as a young gay person needed allies and support so do trans people today.  Please give as much vocal and upfront support for trans people you can.  It is easier to make progress as a society if we don’t have to undo hateful laws outlawing our very existence.   Hugs
