@ameliabedeliagoesonline Oh my goodness, thanks!! ( ´∀` ) He does have other roles though! He’s played Tybalt and Coriolanus. Maybe also JD from Heathers, if he got the chance.
They’re wrong. Cisgender people do have this “privilege” that us Transgender and Non-binary folk don’t have, where they’re not being mocked and bullied and purposely misgendered because of their gender identity. But that doesn’t make every Cisgender person Transphobic. Privilege doesn’t equal Transphobia because Transphobia is discrimination of Transgender and Non-binary individuals, and privilege in this case is an advantage of sorts that Transgender and Non-binary people don’t have; the luxury (Yes, it is almost a luxury for us to wish to have) of not being constantly bullied because of our gender.
I think the point that these people were trying to make was that no matter how loyal of a Transgender ally you are, you’ll always have that privilege. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be a good ally! Recognizing that you have that said privilege is a good start, next what you can do is spread awareness about us, and just be there for our support. It could be as small as reblogging a few Transgender/NB educational and positive posts. Or it could be politely correcting somebody who used the wrong pronouns for somebody else.
i was a survivor of the shooting that took place 2/14/18. i am okay, but unfortunately many of my friends are dead or in critical condition. if you have someone you love, please tell them while theyre still here. hug your friends, your families, you never know when something like this will happen. i never expected to see my friends i grew up with interviewed and scared. i never expected to see the bodies of my classmates and i never expected to see my schools name internationally all over the news. keep your loved ones close please, and if you can do anything to help my community, please do so.
