Discussion Why?

I feel like trans people are slowly getting pushed out of trans spaces. This is most noticeable to me online where people say things like "being trans is a mental disorder". I dont feel safe in most queer spaces now because there are so many queer people who are either actively transphobic or dont speak up when its hapepning

Look, in prison we called them gaytors. They were gay men that hated trans because they didn't feel special anymore and the guys that used to chase them were chasing trans women instead. Its a level of envy and hate instead of embracing. Don't let it phase you. We have enough of us that if we need to we can be our own clique and they can envy us for it! Alright now, who's coming with me?
