one of the easiest things to do for cis men to support trans people is wear nail polish.

It sounds kind of silly but it’s true; like pronouns in your bio this creates a cover not just so trans people don’t have to out themselves (if they don’t want to)

it normalises a very modest form of gender non conformity

it communcates certain a level of safety

and if there’s people that get upset about it, a cis guy is in a much better position to deal with that than a trans or queer person is. Plus we find out who the fuckheads are that we need to avoid.

i think i've said this before on here but i always think about an old ceramics teacher who insisted on any vessel that could potentially hold food, to be food safe since ceramic items can last for such a long time no one in the future will know if its toxic to eat from. these things stick around, some for loooong after anyone we know is gone. i also think about the kind of care to think of someone that far into the future. i think a lot of us here are thinking of those far off folks alongside ourselves and wanting better for both, i hope we can get that, and ensure it for them
