I know plenty of cis people who view statements like “death before detransition” as hyperbole, but it’s really hard to express quite how bad both the discomfort of living as a gender you are not, day in a day out, and being on the wrong hormones, actually is.

For #TDOV this year, consider what you can do to push back on the rising anti-trans movement, and put that into action over the next year. If you’re unsure, here’s some actions:

  • write to your elected representatives (and candidates, if there are elections coming up), and push back;
  • look at spaces you frequently go (whether a cafe or your office, etc!) and push back on any sort of “biological” distinction between restrooms (either by not allowing such a distinction to be introduced or by changing them all to be unisex);
  • imagine your new coworker is a stealth trans person: is there anything that could make your workspace more comfortable for them?
