Seeing @lisamelton posts today reminds me of something. There is a flood of people who want to tell you that trans people only exist because of some kind of “woke” indoctrination. But, if so, why are are we seeing so many people, late in life, coming out as trans? With so much sacrifice. Could it not be that we are finally coming close to a world that will (at minimum) tolerate them?

I am cis. (F you Elon). I am straight. I am privileged. If I can be happy for Lisa, so can you. I owe Lisa for her contributions to tech. So do you.

I now have role models, friends, family, and coworkers who are not cis. WTF does anyone think this hurts me in any way?

@loudwalrus @lisamelton I don’t remember exactly when I came out, I think I was 30. 30 years old and I was still terrified of what coming out could mean for my relationships. I am more afraid now of being a visibly trans person in America than I was back then. “Woke indoctrination” is a fun buzz word for the useful idiots that support the trash that legislates their hate.
@SayJess @loudwalrus Yeah, this is a scary time for us. But I'm so glad you came out early! 🏳️‍⚧️💜
