virgoes:

i saw a post earlier talking about how straight people will never know what it’s like to be closeted and this is exactly what i’m talking about. this isn’t even an issue of “respect straight trans people!” anymore, it’s an issue of no one respecting trans people or acknowledging that we are part of lgbt community just by being trans!

it’s especially disrespectful after everything trans women of color especially have done for the community to pretend like cis gay people are the face of the lgbt community

i encourage cis people to reblog this
