Hi. Wow. Your essay was an eye opener; it did make me realize of many things I do, and I can’t help but feel self conscious. Telling a trans woman she looks pretty? Done (in a clumsy attempt to show support), and perhaps jumping to conclusions too fast whenever there is an apparent straight cis male stating an opinion in a feminist space that might go against the general discussion.

There’s just… so much to learn, to understand. I suppose the only thing I can do is try to keep informed and deal with every person as that, an individual with different backgrounds, needs, experiences. I’m bound to fail, but I’ll try to keep a mind open.

I’m sorry about the TERFS that will surely come, read 5 lines and scroll down all the way to caps lock their anger; I do know why many of them do, I’ve met them, some have been badly hurt by males, and now they see any representation of them (according to their own standards) as a threat. I wish these women could give a step back and remember that: the fight of this generation is against those molds we are trying to break and to see individuals.

Thank you very much for writing this.
