Dear trans people, what are some things you would like the cis to know?

[halcybutton]

i wish cis people would realize we just want to be treated as equals. i don't need special coddling, i just want to be regarded in the same way everyone else is. also, that trans people come in all forms. some want to stealth, some want to be out and loud, some want to pass, others don't care as much, some medically transition, some don't, etc etc. there isn't one right way to be trans, and that's perfectly fine. no matter the journey, we still deserve the same respect as everyone else
