I think that there are large parallels between the experiences of trans people and autistic people, so I thought it might be good to share some information on some of the problems trans people face and guidance on how to be a good ally.
I know it looks like a lot, but I hope it helps to increase understanding and compassion. If any other trans people who want to add to this, please do.
Thank you for explaining it all so clearly, ignorance is what happens before we learn and your post educates. When I was a child everyone watched black and white minstrels on tv and thought it was funny, we learned through education that it wasn’t acceptable. Cat Stevens wrote, “ we are only dancing on this world for a short while,” he got it right, be happy in your own skin.
Thank you, this is what I was hoping to achieve. There is so much negative press going on at the moment, but I think that we have so much in common with trans people that we could be very good advocates for one another if we could learn to be allies.
