Transgender women are women. Transgender men are men. I want our world to be one where each person can stop fighting for acceptance, dignity and recognition because we honor one another.
Claiming that someone’s experience of gender *can’t-be-real* is a way of saying your view of their body, mind, heart, and soul matters more than their own. That’s incredibly disempowering and damaging.
There’s more to gender than a binary. There’s more to gender than assignment at birth, or at the worksite, or passing someone on the street. More than clothes or hair or vocal register although these might be signals we employ
Believe folks when they tell you who and how they are. Use their own named pronouns, because for some of us, those pronouns are vital daily reminders of acceptance and belonging.
This world is a more wonderful place with our trans, agender, and nonbinary siblings free to bring their whole selves and gifts to bear. Creating static and disempowerment absorbs vital energies that could be helping to save this world.
