#TDOV #PSA - Cis folks, trans people don’t like it when you compliment us on how brave and resilient we are, because the only reason we have to be brave and resilient is because you don’t stand up to other cis people and tell them to leave us alone. So go do that, please.
@Willow Where's my "boost this every day for the rest of my life" button?

@faithisleaping actually, in the short term… @lisa would you be so kind as to boost this, please?

@Willow Basically about the same as a normal person boosting every day, to be fair

@faithisleaping @lisa

@Willow @faithisleaping Sure! But it's best to message me on my "big" account, i.e. @lisamelton, for requests like this since I don't always check this account as regularly. Which means I didn't boost this until today. Sorry about that.
@Willow As ever, I don't want to be brave, I want to not have to be.
@Willow yeah my view has always been “put your money where your mouth is”
@Willow
Spot on! I may be brave and resilient but not for being my true self with no exceptions and "for being trans" That's my life... EVERYDAY! It's who I fucking am!
Don't tell me, get out there and be my ally! Defend me when I'm not around! Smash transphobes! Vote against fascism and misogyny! And maybe feel uncomfortable when you do it but fucking do it anyway!!!! ✊
