one of the easiest things to do for cis men to support trans people is wear nail polish.
It sounds kind of silly but it’s true; like pronouns in your bio this creates a cover not just so trans people don’t have to out themselves (if they don’t want to)
it normalises a very modest form of gender non conformity
it communcates certain a level of safety
and if there’s people that get upset about it, a cis guy is in a much better position to deal with that than a trans or queer person is. Plus we find out who the fuckheads are that we need to avoid.
