As an asexual woman, I stand in solidarity with the transgender community; from an A to the Ts, I see you. But the problem is not enough people do.
A lack of authentic, multifaceted representation has caused harm to both of our communities and it’s time for a change. Shrouded in misinformation and hearsay, the trans community faces persecution daily.
Many individuals who do not know any trans people do not understand them, nor do they have access to quality depictions of the trans community in the media.
So, they have become the target of political fearmongering painting trans individuals as immoral entities instead of human beings.
