This is your year non-trans folks. This is the year

to be the one to call out grandma for misgendering your non-binary cousin,

to point out how fucked up your uncle’s transphobic jokes are, or

to tell your mom that her excuses for deadnaming someone aren’t good enough.

It’s time to make this your problem. How are you going to stand up for trans people this holiday?

@rooster I'm not sure I'm ready to take on everything this Christmas. But I can commit to correcting anyone who deadnames or misgenders my wife's cousin. Don't be a coward just because he isn't there to be hurt. Thanks for the push :)

@Octaviaminor yes please if you can. Focus on preventing harm to the trans people closest to you. Take the burden off of them, and show your family there are consequences to not respecting someone you love.

@rooster @Octaviaminor “call out” is a stupid phrase to use. People can be educated without being insulted. It’s totally hypocritical to demand respect while showing none

@BoabieTheBarman @rooster @Octaviaminor OR we could not tone police people who are defending marginalized groups. Bigotry deserves absolutely 0 respect. If the only way you could not be a bigot is when people are super nice to you, that’s a you problem.
