To put it another way, are you okay if The New York Times only interviewed white people 80% of the time when they covered Black people?
This is intentional and systematic. If you don't want trans people to suffer, the two lowest hanging fruits you can do right now is to quit Substack and NYT
![think about my father being called
"boy", my uncle being called "boy", my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called "boy". So I questioned myself: "What does a black man have to do before he's given respect as a man?" So when I was 18 years old,
when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T, so the first word out of everybody's mouth is "Mr."
