Trans day of visibility
Today is trans day of visibility, so I would like to post a few reminders:
*Trans people need support all year long. *This holiday is to celebrate trans people. *Trans people are wonderful. *Outing people without consent? DON’T! *Appreciate trans people for who we are. *Remember that we are human beings. *A trans person being an asshole, although that needs to be called out, is no excuse for misgendering or deadnaming someone. *There’s no excuse for misgendering or deadnaming, except if the trans person is closeted and not ready to come out to certain people. *Don’t confuse fetishization with love. *Even trans people have internalized transphobia, therefore do listen when called out, and do consciously fight against it. *Transphobia is structural, there’s no equivalent for cis people because they don’t face this kind of oppression. *Remember that transphobia, and also transmisogyny, can intersect with other forms of oppression, like racism or ableism. *If you have cis privilege use it to support trans people. *Correct pronouns and name are equally important whether or not the trans person is there to listen. *Reblog our selfies if you can? That’d be nice. *Do listen to trans people and do your learning. *Google is a wonderful tool so use it. *Trans people are amazing. *Thank you for existing.
