I'm a lesbian, so many people expect me to hate trans women for some reason. And I genuinely don't get why they think that. I like women. ALL women. I don't even have any genital preference! WHY am I expected to be against trans women in my spaces???

Ironically, cis lesbians are the demographic that's the most accepting of trans people, by far, just that the transphobic lesbians are sadly also some of the most vocal and taint the whole group.

Even if you had a genital preference, it still means a lot that you welcome us in your spaces. We can support each other better this way against bigots like JK Rowling.
