The important thing is when you introduce your transgender partner to a stranger or acquaintance, you might have to repeatedly explain the concept of transgender and non-binary, they might not understand no matter how many times you have explained to them. You even will be discriminated, harassed or violated. LGBT Dating might be difficult and it might even cause resentment for transgender people. I firmly believe walking beside your partner is the best strategy. From long-term, you might break up, but you certainly do not want to leave any damage to your partner just because of this short-term relationship. All transgender people have already experienced enough damaging to their every aspect of their lives. If you sincerely care about the wellbeing of transgender people, you should try to educate yourself and then educate the people around you to leave a better future for transgender people in the world.
Speaking of transgender people, the top priority for them is respect, which is also one thing they are most lack of. For cisgender people, respect is never a problem for them. Even though we are mistreated sometimes, we wouldn’t care too much. We will get it over with in no time. However, for transgender people or shemales, respect is something related to the courage for their existence. It’s 2020 now. Unfortunately, the fact is there are much more people don’t accept the existence of transgender people than those do. They despise transgender people. They think they are maniac. They can’t understand and they hurt them, let alone respect.
I know to increase the recognition for transgender people, it still takes a long time, even for decades. For people who cannot accept them, I am not asking you to try to comprehend. What I am asking is for you to ignore them. Just do not hurt them and mind your own business. There are still a great many of transphobia in the world. All of them can’t wait to “teach transgender people a good lesson” if they meet any. Let me ask you a question: What have they done to you? You don’t have the right to decide the existence of any person and neither should you influence anyone’s life. The disapproval of the existence of transgender people just exactly proves how narrow minded you are and you should be ashamed of it, but not transgender people.
Gladly, despite so many trans haters, there are still a great number of people who are willing to stand beside transgender people and support them. It is them who help improve the life quality and happiness of transgender people. I firmly believe this group would grow larger in the coming future. Let’s give transgender people a better world!
