You’d be surprised at the number of folks who’ve never actually talked to a trans person and only know them through the alt rights propaganda of them.
I met my first trans friend through tabletop RPG and it was pretty clear after a pretty short time that they were a genuinely good person and I was an ass. I very quickly came to value them. It wasn’t as cut and dry as all that as I most definitely had to rethink my (shitty) view of the world. But they are one of my two best friends, and of the two the most trustworthy and reliable.
I guess all I’m saying is, once they’re welcome in a space, it’s easy to see that they’re just people. Pretty sure we all know that here, but the same cannot be said for those outside our circle of lemmings. I’m happy to see a greater example of my experience in your story.
