@cwebber i also really like this piece of writing on the topic, which touches on how one reason this topic is so important to trans people is *because* kurt never explicitly identified as trans. we as a community *know* that we’ve lost siblings who never had the chance to realize who they were, because so many of us can see how that was almost us. and assumptions of “cis until proven otherwise” erase that.https://www.tumblr.com/waskurttrans
