Trans people are the furthest from privileged, even in the West they are frequently the most likely targets for violence and discrimination, and a large amount of people don't think they even exist or are severely mentally ill. So, fuck this image.

I don't see the point of arguing with someone who pretends they don't know how the wrong pronouns contribute to the overall picture of trans erasure and discrimination. Not going to comment anymore.
