Thanks Andrea. ❤️ I can’t explain how disappointing it has been seeing Rails companies (many of which spent $$$ on DEI work) be completely silent. Withdraw and disengage is exactly how I’m feeling too.

Tolerance - a much underrated virtue which we could use a good dose of right now. I’m sorry you are at the sharp end of the viscous culture wars. Keep strong, be true to yourself and know that spreading love is stronger than hate.

I liked this part: "I truly wonder for those who post transphobic content to their social media, if they’ve actually talked at length to a trans person and heard their stories" This is it right? Trans people are a % of a %, so it is very rare. It is hard to understand something you don't see much.

I only had a proper conversation to a trans person once in my life. So it is hard for most of the people to fully understand it. Especially with all those hundreds of videos ridiculing on social media. We all need to have more normal conversations with any type of people to understand each other.

"What does little ole me have to offer?" All you have to do is *visibly exist* to improve the community and empower those who follow in your footsteps. Thank you for the post. I agree that who we give a microphone to matters.
