I support you and the Trans community endlessly, but I cannot safely volunteer at those organisations nor put myself within the Trans community. I fear my ex is there, somewhere, and I know they transitioned (mtf) after we broke up; they raped, gaslit, and abused me in every way imaginable for 8 years. I cannot be a volunteer I'm sorry, but I'll be here supporting your journey, offsetting every downvote you get. You are amazing, and resilient, strong for posting this in the face of constant micro-aggressions and discriminations. You have my love always. I'm sorry I cannot do more than be a keyboard warrior for you.
