As an older Trans woman, Im extremely grateful of the work many activists have done in recent years to expand public awareness of who we are, and have helped make changes in other ways that have made my acceptance into the "F" club far easier than it might have been decades ago. But I also see what happens when some activists, and maybe some "wannabees" start talking about "birthing people" and Trans womens participation in college sports, just makes me want to crawl under a rock, or back go in the closet. Theres still a huge amount of ignorance, misinformation, and even hate out there, especially among conservative and religious leaning folks. And much of what is being touted by the loudest of the Trans activists, and even from some in Government, does little to help those of us that simply want to live our best lives in peace.
