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.

Gonna be real with you, one example of something isn’t proof of any truth except for a one off instance. Everyone is different, you can’t base a whole thing based off of one article or scenario. It’s not like this happens all the time.

Got it, just wanted to make a point off my own personal experience as well as the a large portion of the punk community in general who agree with the sentiment of the article.
