That was disturbing news to Angelica Jadunandan, who moved to New York from Florida with her two young daughters three years ago. Her older daughter, who is eight, is transgender, and Angelica wanted to move them to a safe blue state—somewhere her family’s medical care would not be called into question. New York is a self-declared “sanctuary state” for trans people. It seemed like a good option.

    Trans woman going to reply.

    But look at how I’m being treated here, look at how they removed my original comment. I wasn’t being mean or anything.

    Imagine how it feels to be yelled at while in line to pee at a washroom.

    If people expect to have discussion and convert people then they need to be nicer.

    Four hings here.

    1. You are not owed politeness. (See 2). I dont know what you said that got removed, so I’m only judging on this comment. But talking to people who are criminalized for trying to pee in certain states, were done trying to be polite.

    2. No one is converting anyone. Were here demanding basic rights and protections that are given to everyone else. You don’t like trans people, fine, we dont want to hang with people like that either.

    3. No one in history has gotten said rights politely. Politics dont care about the oppressed until they’re forced to be heard.

    4. If your allyship is so flimsy that someone being rude makes you question it, you were never an ally in the first place

    What I saw today is evil, and it doesn’t help the trans community much when this happens.

    From me to you, I face that every day as a trans woman. If you dont like it, get fucked I guess? Thats what I keep getting told…

    I get mad when I’m told I should be more polite in the face of a Genocide upcoming

      Well, there are people ready to listen. I see you, but not everyone is mean. I hope it gets better for you.

      I can’t even access my original comment but it wasn’t mean or judgmental. The problem with society right now is that we can’t have polite discourse.

      Thanks for your perspective!
