Trans people have always existed & will continue to do so, regardless of 'Nope, trans women are men' comments. Trans existence isn't contingent on your opinion & never has been. At the end of the day, trans people are who they say they are. Nothing you say will ever change that.

It's 'trans women' not 'transwomen'. It's a descriptor. Yes, all types of women exist, just like 'ginger women' or 'black women' or 'tall women'. Really, it's not rocket science.

Leaving the same literary agency as JK Rowling felt awful at the time, particularly in the aftermath. A year later, I've healed & moved on. Standing up for what you believe in is challenging & freeing. Being trans isn't a debate, it's our lived experience / quest for happiness.
