@Dan It's very hard, but we do our best to support her! I think prior to getting onto Mastodon + meeting Iris, I really didn't appreciate these things as much as I could have. Being brown in Australia comes with minor issues, but it's still easy to be well-paid (in a cog-in-the-machine don't-let-them-give-white-people-orders sort of way). Whereas trans people get hate all the time when I stumble into conversations amongst the general population.
