I think many people falsely assume that because someone is okay with gay/lesbian people that they are also okay with transgender people. This is one of the many reasons it's my responsibility as a member of the LGBTQ+ community to show them why they are wrong and need to support trans people too.

I make it a point to support all the letters in the rainbow alphabet soup. To me, it's just empathy and not being filled with hate or fear of the unknown. Everyone deserves basic respect and full citizenship.

Recently found out that someone I know and thought was an ally is turning out to have some gender essentialist thoughts as a trans woman has come out close to home. It's dispiriting, but I do believe she'll get over herself.

I think it's an area where many people need more education and hopefully she just needs someone like yourself to point the way and to remind them that treating everyone with respect and dignity doesn't require us to 100% understand everything about them.
