Yeah, this isn't the oppression I'm ever talking about. This just requires a simple correction while I move on with my day. Is this the only complaint you hear from transgender people, though? How about:
1: Denial of access to treatment
2: Harassment and unfair treatment by police
3: High homicide rate
4: Lack of occupational protections and low chances of being hired in the first place
5: Heavily excessive mistreatment and abuse of transgender prisoners
6: Denial of housing options
7: Denial of loans
There's a few points to start you off that actually do matter. This isn't a competition, either. I want everyone to feel like they matter. Right now I don't seem to matter, and that is a problem.
This isn't some pointless hand-waving to get attention, either, because I hate attention. The only time I will bring this up is when people who mock me bring it up in the first place (that means people like you).
