    if other people were forced to treat my every feeling with rubber gloves, I wouldn’t feel respected

    It’s a good thing that this isn’t what’s happening, then :) if people were treating trans people’s every feeling with rubber gloves, then we wouldn’t be four times as likely as a cisgender person to be the victim of a violent crime

    We don’t want the rubber glove treatment. All we want is to have the same right to bodily autonomy as straight white American men do-- free to go where we feel comfortable AND comfortable in our own skin wherever we go, with no one trying to legislate away our mastership over our own bodies.
