Oh, wow, do I ever disagree with that!
Let me preface this by saying: I completely get that many transgender people are not out and that they face enormous risks if they become activist, join a protest, or even speak out against discrimination. I would not for one minute judge anyone who held his or her tongue for fear of personal safety, employment, etc.
But... this is why we
need activism. Those of us who are more out
need to speak loudly and forcefully against hateful washroom laws that put our lives in jeopardy. We
need to highlight the evils of a society that produces Leelah Alcorns or Taylor Alesanas. We cannot stay quiet in the face of such tragic loss of life and potential.
I write online in support of trans rights and I will be going to LGBT rights events now that I'm out. We should not be happy until our society honors every person trying to live an authentic life and does not stigmatize those whose authenticity differs somewhat from the norm.
When no-one feels compelled to be closeted, then and only then do we not need activism or protest marches.
