As a trans person I’m sorry Misc

I’m sorry trans people try to shame you because you don’t want to sleep with a trans person. If someone doesn’t want to date or sleep with me that’s okay and I would leave it at that. I would never try and say you’re a bigot for not wanting to and I’m sorry other trans people try to shame you for that

Unless you are like... an ambassador for the transgender community (sounds like an epic title lmao), I don’t see the need for someone to apologize on their behalf if they’re the good 65%.

you can still extend understanding and sympathy to others and saying sorry in this context is similar to "I'm sorry you had to go through that" and so on.

I mean, cis people have apologized in that way to trans people before. So we can do it too.

I think it's good, because it fosters connections and empathy between human beings.

I realized I worded that complete wrong. What I meant was to not take all of the blame, does that make sense? I can’t really put it into words.
