So well said. Chances are most of these transphobic, Republicans already know a trans person without actually knowing it. I have been married for 37 years, and at the 30 year mark, my husband came out as trans. For thirty years i lived with a angry alcohol addicted man̈ always searching for something to make him happy. When he finally figured it out, I found an amazing human being coming into her own. There was absolutely no doubt in my mind, her transitioning, was the most honest thing she ever did.
