My birth certificate says female. So do all my legal documents. This is because 20 years ago, trans people were not as controversial and the law was willing to be flexible to let us live normal lives. I don’t like conflict with trans Twitter. It’s just that I have a front row seat to the role we have played in giving the right wing the tools to attack us and degrade our rights. It is unacceptable to me that a trans girl coming out to me would have a harder path than I did, because mine nearly killed me. We can disagree on tactics. It’s entirely possible I am wrong about some things. But I hope you can appreciate, I’m speaking up because I love trans people. If you are medically transitioning, you are my sister.
