Growing up, I had three sisters. One of them was a quiet child, often angry or sullen and sometimes cruel.
One day that person went away.
And then I had a brother.
He was cheerful and warm, finally comfortable in a body he'd wanted his entire life.
Conservatives want to eradicate my brother. I'm here to say that's not going to happen.
@Gustodon @cstross I don’t think most people in my workplace noticed that the bright, happy woman who started managing our IT walk-up Help Desk bore a striking resemblance to quiet man who used to huddle in the a back corner. If you have any empathy at all, seeing the before and after is amazing. I can’t figure out how to communicate this to people who are lacking in empathy.

Standing right with you 100%
@Gustodon Why can’t we just let people be happy the way they want.
