Aww, that’s sucks why did you get kicked out (you don’t have to say if you don’t want to)

A mix of transphobia in the community, and me scaring all those Christian ladies by wearing my The Satanic Temple sweatshirt into the studio. The transphobia was most likely the main reason, the sweatshirt was an excuse on their part to kick me out.

Oh no! I'm so sorry about that. That's really unfair.

Yeah, but it’s really just life. You win some, you lose some.

That's a really nice mindset to be in and I wish I could echo it instead of just being a pessimistic piece of sh!t

Been there. Still there sometimes.

Ugh that sucks some of the other studios around me (that I had a choice to go to, but didn’t) are very careful that they come off “trans friendly” because if they didn’t, all of their male dancers would leave

I love my studio because it truly supports/accepts everyone (except criminals). they donate to the community, and every single dollar we raise from the Nutcracker goes to one of the charities by us. There have been some people who have said negative things about the studio (and even threatened the owner) but instead of making a big deal out of it and feeling sorry for herself, she said she was sorry for us that she put us in danger, even though she didn’t do anything. All she does is care for others, and never tries to “compete” with other studios

I wish more places around me were trans friendly, heck even most stores aren’t. I got kicked out before I got reassignment surgery, so people around me could tell I was trans with a bit of observation on their end. Most of the male dancers were pretty accepting, but they were a small minority of the overall community. Looking back, I’m glad I left that place. They got in a bit of trouble a few years back due to their behaviour.

Im glad you have a good studio, I wish I had more like yours around me.

I've never understood why places/people wouldn't be trans friendly and accepting of members of the LGBT community. I don't really understand the logic behind it-why does it matter what gender someone is, their sexual orientation, their identity, etc? Same goes for racism and sexism.

I don’t know, but for quite a bit I was just called a man. That’s it. Whenever I went to the doctors as a kid, they would call me male.
( edit: IM A FREAKING FEMALE, CICADA BRAINS.) A lot of people think being trans is just a phase or something, but I can assure you it isn’t. They might just not like the idea of people being born a gender that doesn’t match up with their chromosomes or private parts, or loving someone who identifies as the same gender as you, or not identifying with the binary genders, or identifying as both binary genders, or not having sexual attraction, or not having romantic attraction, or having a different skin tone, or being a gender they don’t particularly like. And some people just have peanut brains, actually most of them just have peanut brains,
