@DivineKestrel yep, 100%. How quickly people have forgotten the intense anti-gay culture across the US. In the late 90s through mid-2000s the F word (not fuck) was still in TONS of popular media. Hell, when my daughter was born *just 10 years ago* there was a lesbian couple in our birth class that were not allowed to legally marry, and the non-birth parent had to adopt the baby. In “liberal” California! I sometimes wish I was twenty and transitioning now, but rural northeast in the 90s? No way.

What infuriates me about that is the gays and lebesians who are so vocal against trans folks being represented in the Alphabet Mafia. When I see a story about excluding trans people from the LGBT rights movement it stings... a lot. It's because of trans women of color that the modern gay rights movement started and they have the ability to marry who they love.

It seems like there are two very human responses to the experience of having been chronically bullied, marginalized, threatened, and/or harmed and then coming into relative power and safety. One is to say “I’m going to fight to make sure nobody else experiences what I experienced.” The other is “Now it’s my turn.”
