Personally, for me it’s the idea that just because you don’t experience something (dysphoria, or being a gender other than what society expects of you) that doesn’t mean those experiences aren’t valid.

I get sooo tired of the response “I just don’t understand! I love being my AGAB! Why can’t you just get over it?”

    Fam, something that the George Floyd incident taught me (as a white cis male) is that I’ll never be able to understand the plight of African Americans. Their experiences are so far removed from my own. The best judgement call is to simply believe them, communicate, and stand by them. The same applies to LGTBQ+. Even though I’ll never understand your struggles, I do stand by you ❤️
