But it’s also really scary. Because, like -- What if I show somebody -- what if I’m like the archetype for somebody, in their brain, and then that has some sort of effect on how they see other trans people? You know? Like, if I’m a white person, would that make it harder for them to accept black trans people just because it doesn’t immediately fit with the image in their brain. Or trans people who pass worse than me, or pass better than me. Or female-to-male trans people. Or non-binary trans people. [00:38:00] And I’m really uncomfortable being like, “Hey. This is my go-to example.” In their brains. But I can’t not do that. Because they met me.
