    I’m glad that the medical community is improving the procedures on how to care for the trans community like with the introduction of DSM 5 and with WPATH 8.

    This will make it harder for anyone who listens to the facts to be transphobic.

      Unfortunately, the people who claim to listen to facts often only listen when someone agrees with them.

          Transphobes, it doesn’t matter what you show them, they’ll find a way to ignore it…
