For anyone feeling targeted by this meme, here are some ways to help:
- Donate to trans focused charities, like Advocates for Trans Equality or the Transgender Law Center
- Support individual trans people. Surgery is expensive even with insurance due to time needed off work.
- Please god just listen when a trans person says you’ve done something transphobic. The vast, vast majority of trans people don’t speak up about every little thing because we are drowning in transphobia. Generally if someone has said something it’s because it genuinely bothered them, even if it wasn’t ’that bad’ it may be intimately linked for them to past trauma; roughly 40% of trans people meet the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis, compared to less than 5% of the general population.
