Masking is a part of trans communities, but they don’t realize it’s a part of other communities, too. Anyone who’s marginalized by society is forced to mask.
I think it’s fairly obvious what masking has to do with trans people, I just don’t understand the vitriol.
Trans people are forced to keep their heads down while going to their non-preferred restroom. Many trans people go to church and pass; they are afraid to tell those around them about their identity.
Again, we should all combine as minorities to defend ourselves and avoid infighting for no reason.
Edit: Sorry for too many “theys.” I’m just keeping it gender neutral. I’m referring to an individual.
Trans people have nothing to do with this specific instance. Wtf? People are only allowed to mask for themselves only if they’re Trans? So because Trans individuals struggle, people with autism can’t also struggle?
Dirty edit: there’s a lot of things the Trans community can and should be outraged over. However, autism is not one of those things, unless you have it as well. Back off.
Thought it seemed a bit exaggeratory, but given bullying (including physical bullying) is a thing people experience for being socially awkward, it may not be an exaggeration for some. I wasn’t aware a the difference between masking neurodivergence or gender as a child or a young adult: I just subconsciously learned to behave in accordance to others expectations and keep quiet about some things.

Do you think this is some kind of competition? X people aren’t allowed to complain because Y people have it harder? Get over yourself
You won the gold medal for the Oppression Olympics. Congratulations.
What does the comic have to do with trans folk?

I do lalso question the “for my safety” part too, but that’s probably because I just don’t get it.

This must be a troll.
