"As long as trans people have had the means to change our bodies, people who are not trans have stood in the way of doing so.

"Cisgender people have burned our research, they've made us illegal, they've lobotomized and electroshocked us, they've psychologically tortured us, they've forced us to conform to gender stereotypes to access transition, and they've attempted to create tautologies to determine who was most authentic and deserving of transition, all in the name of limiting access to transgender healthcare. Most importantly, they've succeeded at holding up hoops for us to jump through to access gender-affirming care.

"One of the most constant experience across many generations of trans people is cis people butting their noses into our gender identities and medical care."
