It's not enough that #trans people are welcome with you. The transphobes have to be *unwelcome*.
These people must be challenged, corrected and shunned for what they say and do. It doesn't matter to me if they're your co-workers, friends or even family.
You've noticed the hate out there, right? It's rampant and only getting worse.
If you want to be my ally, please realize that I need someone willing to be my advocate. Not just someone to provide me shelter.
Thank you. 🏳️⚧️💖
