@Melissabeartrix Acceptance is tricky to define - I have always accepted you.
But what has changed is a combination of a) knowing anrd interating with many more of you. Which is not deliberate - just that I spend my time in trans-friendly places, and refuse to spend my time in trans-phobic spaces.
also b) the anti trans rhetoric has shown me what trans people are facing, and so has - ironically - made me listen more to what you are saying.
