and Away We Go

I tend to judge people based on how they teach trans* 101.

iragray:

If they ever talk about “biological sex” as if it’s this sort of immutable construct, then I feel really disappointed. 

Maybe I’m incredibly arrogant (and sometimes I am), but I just expect better from educators. 

So, when people reach out to me and ask me what I think of some well known trans* advocate, that’s generally how I judge them. How do they teach other people about myself and my community? Is it inclusive and accurate? If it’s not, then I won’t refer anyone to them.
