    I’ve had people misgender me and try to convince me not to transition and then go claim to be trans allies because they don’t call people slurs and will say that killing trans people is bad if asked

      That sucks. It’s bigotry and then gaslighting, and then on top of it all we’re somehow to blame for them being that way because we’re not eternally grateful and fawn all over them for reluctantly giving us the barest of bare minimum decency and respect, and therefor leave them no choice (in their eyes of course).
