hug a trans dude today. tell him he looks good. tell him you see him and value him. ask him about his gender. ask him about his day. ask him about how he's doing. ask him about his hopes for the future. connect with him. please.
Honestly please don't ask me about my gender. I'm very tired of talking about my gender. It is among the least interesting things about me, much like my hair color or my height.
Ask me about my sheep. Ask me what I'm learning lately. Ask me about my reptiles and how the Tropiocolotes steudneri are doing. Ask me what the desert smells like at sunset.
I have a whole ass life that does not actually revolve around being transgender no matter how much the world tries to make that the only salient fact about me. I am a whole person, not just A Controversial Gender.
I'm tired of talking about my gender and I'm tired of other people talking about my gender and if you want to actually connect with me then talk to me like I'm a human being and not a gender. Do you ask your cis friends about their genders?
