I’ve needed to refute opportunities and collaborations simply because individuals planned to reap the incentives of my personal skill while misgendering me in identical breath. You learn to carry out many things all on your own.

U: which means paying us our worth, dealing with you like people with nuance in the place of science experiments, divesting from indisputable fact that genitals = gender, etc. There are many damaging thinking that causes the untimely death of trans folks. There is nothing completely wrong around, cisgender is not necessarily the criterion. The work starts in your mind and center. I believe like We state a similar thing annually.
