If I unmask I'll lose my income. If I lose my income my mask will be the least of anyone's worries.

for your own safety? Is the creator baiting? This seems kinda offensive towards trans people, who genuinely do risk their safety. The only way I can imagine this being okay is if the creator was beat as a child for displaying autistic tendencies. Otherwise, it just comes off as insensitive.

Edit: sorry that I upset you guys. I was kinda grumpy when I wrote this because I hadn't eaten any dinner.

What does the comic have to do with trans folk?

Masking is a part of trans communities, but they don't realize it's a part of other communities, too. Anyone who's marginalized by society is forced to mask.

I think it's fairly obvious what masking has to do with trans people, I just don't understand the vitriol.

Trans people are forced to keep their heads down while going to their non-preferred restroom. Many trans people go to church and pass; they are afraid to tell those around them about their identity.

Again, we should all combine as minorities to defend ourselves and avoid infighting for no reason.

Edit: Sorry for too many "theys." I'm just keeping it gender neutral. I'm referring to an individual.
