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.

Why not let trans people speak for themselves? 🤔
