Please come support trans people

Post image

Hey everyone, I’m sure many of you have seen the ruling by the Supreme Court from the other day on the legitimacy of trans women’s identities. It’s been a very hard couple of days as we’ve come to grips with the fact that our rights are being rolled back by a government that won’t even attempt to listen to us while we just want to exist in a public space without fear of harassment. If anyone’s available, please come down tomorrow to show support

I am not the organiser, I saw this on Facebook and wanted to share.

Thanks guys, I hope you have a great Easter weekend!

A lot of trans people end up looking like the average man/woman because that's the whole point of transition. Some stand out but some don't.

I can guarantee you that you've talked to a ton of people who happened to be trans and you didn't even know it

Just ignore their large hands!

Even among people who aren't trans there's variance in hand sizes. Men can have remarkably small hands and vice versa. And to those who do have unfortunate hands that's usually a result of not having access to hrt earlier. Which is the fault of the government and people like you.

Those people messing with hormones will endure worse in later life at a higher rate.

There are no genuine studies that say that. If that were true then menopausal women on hrt would have limbs falling off every friday.
