can we please default to taking trans people’s reports of transphobia at face value and in good faith, at least here in the LGBTQIA+ group? I’m sure you weren’t intentionally coming across as condescending, but when your immediate reaction to a post like OP’s is to presume they just need a reality check re: how they interpreted the other person, that feels kinda disrespectful
regardless of intent behind what she said, it’s perfectly reasonable for OP to be uncomfortable with a comment like that from a stranger. being fetishized to the extent of dehumanizing objectification by an entitled chaser who may have at first Seemed well-meaning isn’t exactly a rare experience amongst trans people
