Your advice here is strong but I do not understand this, "So cis people you better start shelling out since this is something we have to go through that you don't." Can you explain?
-
Yes, this is very easy: cis people don't have to ever get doctors' notes, certified copies of birth certificates, in order to do something that all people are legally entitled to. Trans people do. Trans people unjustly have an extra burden in both time and cost. Share the cost.
-
But you are not asking allies you are saying cis must. Do you not see the issue here because there is not only one group burdened by oppression
-
Yeah I don't see the issue here with cis people being expected to shoulder some of the burden that are being foisted upon trans people by cis authoritarians on a narrowly-defined issue.
-
So this means you are financially supporting other groups to offset their burdens
-
Ok how seriously because your words here come off as divisive
-
I'm sorry you think your feelings are as important as other people's legally-guaranteed civil liberties.

I’ll send money to an org you recommend that will assist people in this situation. Fuck everyone who questions the need.

Can you recommend funds/orgs that we can help support? Or is this more about individual support?
