Transgender Lingo For Dummies
Suffering from a touch of transphobia are we gay people? That’s right. That question is not being posed to straight folks. We talkin’ to you. Time to get over it and truly get inclusive. Because so far, that’s really not happening now is it? Our transgender community will not be ignored. Nor should they be.

It was they who stood up and duked it out in what we now call the Stonewall riots. Don’t let the fake Hollywood stories lead you astray on the history, y’all. If anything, we must celebrate, create safety and uphold our transgender community members with the highest respect—in the same way the Gay Incs wanna be treated.
