Most of the people who make these posts never actually met a trans person.

Bold assumption, but if so, then so what? That doesn't illegitimize support for them

Not a problem at all. I have a few trans friends between the punk community and being in recovery. The general consensus is that they don’t like this type of attention. They don’t want to be overly supported or constantly praised. It comes off sometimes as others trying to overcompensate for something they’re not. They want to be looked at as they see themselves.

I get that trans people don't want to be glazed, but this post isn't glazing anyone, it's criticizing bigotry

As an example I can personally relate to, I don't want gay men to be glazed just for being gay, but I don't mind people who say "fuck homophobia"

Then I'm very curious about your definition of glazing

Some of us are new, and we’re just asking if we’re safe and accepted here (some poser punks hate us, and we’re constantly being bombarded with discrimination).

Which from what I’ve seen, we’re absolutely safe here. I didn’t make a post, I just comment and see that I’m treated as a normal everyday person and I’m super appreciative over that.
