minus-squareoNeviaOPMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·9 个月前That’s a good point and it resonates with me. Being trans can be scary! And it’s scary mostly because of the thoughts and actions of others. None of us “choose” to be trans. Who would choose to paint a big red target on their back that society is oh so happy to fire at.
