    I can’t figure out which part of this story you doubt so I have to assume you’ve never met a trans person or a Muslim.

      Probably that a Muslim can both be open to trans people and wear a hijab at the same time.

      Tbh is much easier to reconcile than you’d think.

        Right, so they’ve never met a Muslim person (or I guess only met the much more rare ultra conservative kind)

        Stop destroying prejudices against Muslims! How can you show them to be self confident and intelligent people that don’t need a white savior to explain the world to them?

          Don’t get me wrong, I’m still very against conservative Muslims, as much as I am against conservative Christians, ultra-orthodox Jews etc…

          But it’s clear that there’s nuance, so like one can be a Christian and also be accepting of gays and trans people, one can be the same while believing in Islam. The ones I can’t stand are those that use their preferred book to put themselves on a pedestal and be terrible to other people, but this trait is not limited to one specific religion, or even to religion itself.

      Half of my family is Muslim. I’m currently partnered with the trans alliance in my city to build their new housing co-op… I’m well versed in both sides of this and what’s stated above didn’t happen LoL. It’s a fairytale or as known in the Muslim community… teqqiyah.
