Trans people are trying to navigate a world that is very unsafe for us. We are VERY invested in figuring this stuff out both so we can combat it and so that we can help other trans people facing the same, or different battles.

That's something they say too, and it's something that is incredibly, breathtakingly high-handed and arrogant to say As though *being trans* is not in and of itself something people oppress you for As though trans people are not generally *very conscious of that fact*
