My conversation today with an acquaintance:
Acquaintance: Why do you even care about trans rights if you aren’t trans?
Me: Is red part of the rainbow if I’m not red?
Acquaintance: Of course it is! Red has always been a part of the rainbow!!!
Me: Are transgender people, people who deserve the same rights as we have, even if they aren’t us?
Acquaintance: Um... Yeah. People are people, no matter what.
Me: Exactly. People are people even if we are different then them. I care about their rights because they should be treated the same way I am, even if we are different.
Acquaintance: Nice. So, you want to get some pizza?
I fight for others rights because mine have already been granted to me. Just because I am being treated fairly doesn’t mean that other people are.
