Remider thread:

If you out a trans person without their permission, it could create a potentially dangerous environment for that trans person. Entire relationships that have been built can be dramatically altered.

Here’s how you can help:

If you hear something like that happening, say something. Urge the person to think about the consequences of their actions. If you are unsure of the situation, divert the conversation to something else.....

... not everyone knows about the experiences a transgender person goes through, so if you arent sure what your place is, dont talk about it.

Its okay to not be fully educated, however, its not okay to spread misinformation and personal information about trans people.

Trans people do not owe anyone anything. They do not owe cis people an explanation and they do not owe everyone a coming out conversation. If they feel like coming out to you, they will. No need to dig for the information.

Trans people are not lying about their identity if they don’t disclose the fact that they’re trans. They are not betraying you, they are not fooling you.

They are people.

No matter what your beliefs are, please do not spread personal information about anyone else.

Thanks yall.
