I wanted to highlight, I realized some months ago now, after 40 years of thinking I was quite introspective, that I am trans, and I absolutely owe that to all the trans creators and the like that are out there on socials being themselves and advocating for themselves. Ironically, I might not have realized as soon (or at all) if this fascist crusade hadn't been going on and making so many people talk about it so much more.
I went and posted on Facebook for the first time in years to come out, just so old friends and family (and extended family) could know they know a trans person. For whatever reason I was generally well-liked and trusted, so I'm hoping for anyone who wasn't paying much attention or may have heard negative things, but aren't full on the train yet, it will give them pause. Who knows. I know changing the mind of one person, when it's a loud minority like the anti-trans movement, can have a huge effect.
Basically, just wanted to say thanks to all the people who figured themselves out and shared, it helps goobers like me who even if we were allies, didn't necessarily connect all the dots.
