Why do you care how other people feel about or express their gender? There was a time when heels, dresses, makeup, and pink were considered exclusively things for men. Now we think of them as very feminine and some people get upset when men reclaim that history and present themselves that way.

But like why do you care? Nobody’s telling you what to wear or how to behave. In reality nobody really cares what you feel about it. The reason queer people have pride marches is that we want to live our lives in peace without fear of violence, with the ability to take care of our families, and work based on our ability without prejudice based on who we love or what we wear outside of work?

More to the point, when civil rights are attacked it starts with marginalized people first but rarely stops there. Today it is the 8 trans women who participate in youth support. But it can easily be anyone who doesn’t express vocal loyalty to the leader.
