In 1992, my TV "audio guy" told me in a midnight rain-shining parking lot that he "knew I knew" [I had zero clue] that in his heart he had always been a woman from when he was a child. I nodded sagely & we hugged. She made the change & was clearly whole & truly happy tho stunned by the Abyss of Misogyny she was now exposed to (by people who had no idea she was trans, only that she was a woman). She could NOT believe how women endured the Ceaseless Rubbish. Seeing her as her true self, tho, is a highlight of joy in my life.
It would truly be funny if it wasn’t so horrible that people seemed to be so insecure with themselves that someone who isn’t like them is a threat rather than just different.
I guess "like" really isn't the right word. I appreciate your drawing because it puts a real face on how trans people are treated. But I don't like it. I wish there were no need for it. But as long as there are people who hate anyone who is different, there will always be a need to fight back. Thank you for doing that. (Because I don't think we're going to run out of "people who hate anyone different" anytime soon.)
True depiction of the horrible people attacking Trans, while doing nothing about true groomers among our communities.
