One of the things that has struck me in a bit over three decades of activism, is that some people who want to be supportive of human rights are - appropriately - angry at doubts and aspersions cast against Indigenous people whose appearance does not meet an expected stereotype, yet they are perfectly OK with TGD people being expected to out themselves before the TGD people are treated with decency (this refers to the expectation of confirming pronouns first trope - which is sometimes necessary, but generally is just a tool to allow the bigots to engage in transphobic bashing). The hypocrisy is conerning.
