This is an account I created specifically to communicate. But I've been a lurker on these boards for a few years now. Sort of a funny metaphor for what I think many in the TGNC are feeling in regard to this topic even: we've been around for awhile, we've watched it happen many many many times, and we're finally speaking up. We're not new,...

Thi...

Crying wolf when people have explicitly worked to make shows that are respectful of trans people lowers the already poor perception of us as a community, and makes people want to make fewer shows with us in mind, not more. The vast majority of trans people I have...

But I also agree with you- I have noticed that aside from saying "thanks for coming" to people who see the show when they express how much they liked it on Twitter, social media for the show has been surprisingly quiet. When that t-shirt/merchandise fiasco happened, they pulled the shirt, but they didn't say anything about it. T...
