A Curious Eye

1. Use public restrooms without fear of verbal abuse, physical intimidation, or arrest
    
2. Use public facilities such as gym locker rooms and store changing rooms without stares, fear, or anxiety.
    
3. Strangers don’t assume they can ask you what your genitals look like and how you have sex.
    
4. Your validity as a man/woman/human is not based on how much surgery you’ve had or how well you “pass” as non-transgender.
    
5. You have the ability to walk through the world and generally blend-in, not being constantly stared or gawked at, whispered about, pointed at, or laughed at because of your gender expression.
    
6. You can access gender exclusive spaces such as the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival, Greek Life, or Take Back the Night and not be excluded due to your trans status.
