The best weapon we have against transphobia is people interacting with us in their day-to-day. Their arguments are disingenuous, the goal is to stop us from participating so the masses won’t have a trans friend to empathize with

Some people have unconscious biases and will do mental gymnastics against acknowledging LGBT existences. And some people are just conscious bigots trying to ruin your day.
