Transgender: Fact or Fiction?
Because transgender is a hot topic, everyone seems to have an opinion on it and, especially in places like op-Ed pages and blog comments sections, many self-appointed experts have been sharing what they view as the “facts” of being transgender with others. Not surprisingly, many of those facts are plain wrong.
What trans people don't need is for those who are not trans to go around pretending that they're experts on our lived experiences. The facts are out there for those who choose to be informed, but they're rarely coming out of Internet comments sections or sub-Reddits. So the next time you see a cis person making definitive statements about those who are trans, it's a good time for you to be skeptical.
