What LGBTQ+ topic you wish more people knew about?
What LGBTQ+ topic do you wish more people knew about? This could be a queer icon, a piece of history, knowledge about certain labels, specific philosophy topics (or notable philosopher), art, or anything else. Also if there are topics that you wish specific sub populations had greater access to or knowledge of, feel free to qualify (for example, you might wish there was greater knowledge about a specific cultural gender to all cultures which don't have exposure to this gender, or a desire for your local gay community to be more educated on a topic important to you).

I think the amount of transphobes in the world would be waaay smaller if everyone knew what gender dysphoria is
And people don't even realize that cis people have it too! My BiL was recently talking about taking Cialis and Testosterone. I have a niece that just got breast implants and other cosmetic procedures. People going through menopause take hormones. Cis children with precocious puberty take puberty blockers so they don't have to go through that at 8 or 9 years old. And cis people don't have the self-reflection to realize that these are all gender-affirming care.
@davehtaylor @Staden_ thanks for the heads up that there is an obvious treatment for precocious puberty, my family has quite a history of it.
The fuck I don't.
lmao, you don't need to take this very general statement so personally.
I was about to add "and how science backs it up as a real thing and not something people make up", but given the timeline we live in, I don't think it would make that much of a change :/
