    I think … potentially that many people don’t every put a second thought into it, they just are, and he might be saying what if you looked inside and you found an answer you didn’t like? Ie: one of the transphobes realizing they are trans.

    Theres also the angle he brings up of ‘feeling like a rejection of them’, or rather their way (being cis)

    This of course is not really how it works, my being trans isn’t a statement either if anyone else or their being cis.

    The introspection that a lot of trans people have done because they are trans can be scary, what if someone who thogutht they were straight and cis looked at themselves and realized that’s not the actual them?

      I actually like that a lot more than just assuming they’re closeted. Many of these people don’t even have the courage to figure out if they’re closeted.
