Trans Twitter Topics

"For sure. I don't think you're a bigot

I find this a very difficult and frustrating conversation to have because it's hard to describe what's...

going on without people getting upset. This issue is that some actual bigots have come up with a good way to sell what they want in a reasonable package, and people have bought into it. So many people say "I have concerns with Self ID" and I have to work through so much to...

even know what that even means. Are you opposed to trans people being able to update their legal documents like passport and driving licence without a medical diagnosis? Well we've had that for over a decade. What about trans people being able to choose which facility best...
