i don’t know which young lesbians following me need to hear this, but a public figure who used to (and maybe still does!) identify as a lesbian coming out as trans doesn’t actually negatively affect you at all

if someone spouts some vitriol at you about how all lesbians want to be men because they heard about elliot page coming out, the fault lies not with elliot page, but with the person who’s choosing to sling that rhetoric. please don’t turn against or attack trans people just because a high-profile trans person came out and it reminded some transphobes that they also hate lesbians.
