If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns.

Not to be ignorant, but she's not even transgender, is she?

“[she] was born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female, has a female passport.”
