Request for trans people recently starting out:
When it comes to topics of activism and social justice, please be mindful that there's often a lot more context, history, and nuance to an issue than is immediately obvious. It's easy to be over-zealous.
For at least the first couple years, try to keep this in mind before getting shouty about topics of discourse. This is doubly true when it comes to castigating people or practice, or when you're talking to outside audiences.
I was bad about this. *Most* people are bad about this.
Learning and internalizing nuance genuinely does take time, including exposure to different kinds of people within queer communities.
