    The fact that it’s an evenly split partisan issue with only 0.5% of the population being trans means that you have A LOT of cis allies. Like, statistically, you’re more likely to meet several dozens of understanding people than another trans person unless you actively limit your exposure of non-trans people.

    There are probably some (not many but some) trans people who conform to binary gender identity beliefs, too, they simply want to be the other gender.

      Except cis allies will stab us in the back the microsecond it’ll become slightly uncomfortable. We’re always on probation with them, and we have to be “the good, quiet, binary and unchallenging trans people” to deserve any allyship or support

        If you’re going to be annoying about it, then people won’t like you. Imagine if you had a friend who used Arch Linux and that’s all that they talked about and then they said people who use Windows are literally Hitler and the second you say, hey maybe chill a little bit, they start screeching.

        I guess you need a therapist who is trans to help you work through that issue. Imagine living your life not trusting others on the basis of their gender identity. Couldn’t be me.

          My therapist is a white cis heterosexual man, and I would trust him to walk through fire for his trans neighbors.

        It’s a shame you feel that way, but it might be the people you personally know. Look in most leftist circles. You’ll find a robust selection of true allies.

        Lol I’m assuming the downvotes “prove” your own point to you, but this is a real pointless take if you can’t even provide examples.
