At 1% is the population, trans people are not a threat to the "cisgender lifestyle." Every law that’s enacted restricting our rights is an act of violence against us. Who do those laws protect? Every time a politician spews misinformation it’s an act of violence against us. Who’s the target of those messages and what purpose do they serve? The people in power are clinging to their positions so desperately they’re willing to harm anyone whose freedom is a threat to their authority. Transgender people require protection from cisgender people. Period. We require laws that protect us from harassment and discrimination. We require laws that ensure our safety and access. Cisgender people HAVE these laws. But for *some reason*…nobody in power seems to want them to apply to us. Also, cisgender people perpetrate violence against us. We do not do the same to them. Power is a funny thing. When you cling to it most desperately is when you can do the most damage to others and incur the most risk to your position. Trans people are feeling the whole “damage to others” thing pretty hard right now. Cisgender lawmakers are completely out of control. We need protection. They don’t. #trans #transgender #transrights #protecttranskids #transkidsrock #transisbeautiful #lgbt #nonbinary #enby #queer #beyourself #transally #allyship #transyouth
