Sadly, in my own experience, the T part of the LGBTQ can only rely on itself. We’re part of a movement, but we’re not the same, we’re allies, our needs and demands are drastically different and most of the LGBs will never ever be able to relate to trans people. It often feel as if we fight with them, but they won’t fight with us. And to be fair, we fight with them in large part because, they’re us, T people are also often LGB as well. The opposite is rarely true.

I want us to be better. To all of my fellow trans people, always keep an eye on what’s happening around you. Protect non-binary people as well, care for Intersex people and work on your anti-racism if you’re not directly concerned by it. We’re tired of being thrown under the bus constantly, let’s make sure we don’t do the same to others. Because there will inevitably come a time where we will be accepted in society and others will be targeted, let’s break this cycle.

This unlocked memories for me. When I was much younger I would find myself doing this and just starring… wondering “what if”. It’s funny how post transition, shit just start retroactively making sense and a lot of your life suddenly starts feeling like one giant massive retcon.
