Same:( I’ve been trying for quite a few years to influence colleagues and there’s a wall of fear I think, in the way that I’m coming from a place of either ignorance (despite my years of experience) or malice towards trans people aka transphobia that pertains to wider sociopolitical divide where distrust is higher than ever of anyone who might represent the “other side”
