I'm feeling a little discouraged tonight...
I got hit in the face with my grandmother's transphobic prejudices tonight when we saw the advert for the show that's coming on soon, Becoming Us.
I myself am not transgender, but it hurt me to see the disgust on her face when the commercial for the show came on. I personally am glad this show exists. I think the transgender community needs to be seen from a more positive angle than it is now, and I say it's past time.
I'm tired of people saying and thinking that transgender individuals are disgusting. Especially people I love and share a gene pool with. Transgender people deserve respect, not contempt.
Just because someone is different doesn't make them disgusting.
Anyway, I'll get off my platform now, but I'm feeling a bit low, and I thought someone here might understand.
Take care, and love to all.
