- I'm bringing it up because what transpired
from that video was more bullying
and transphobia than I could have ever imagined.
And I should have made this video months ago, but I didn't,
and I was scared.
And I was scared of more backlash,
and I felt personally guilty for what transpired.
So I patiently waited for things to get better,
but surprise, they haven't really.
And I was waiting for the brand to reach out to me,
but they never did.
And for months now, I've been scared to leave my house.
I have been ridiculed in public.
I've been followed.
And I have felt a loneliness that I wouldn't wish on anyone.
And I'm not telling you this because I want your pity.
I am telling you this because
if this is my experience from a very privileged perspective,
know that it is much, much worse for other trans people.
For a company to hire a trans person
and then not publicly stand by them
is worse, in my opinion,
than not hiring a trans person at all.
