I chose the Transphobia topic to improve my understanding of what it is and how I can learn more about it. I have included an article for reference from Healthline for further reference and information. https://www.healthline.com/health/transphobia

One of the main points that resonates with me in this article was “unintentionally” being Transphobic or giving the impression of being Transphobic out of ignorance. I try to always come from a place of love and kindness. Unfortunately, being human, sometimes mistakes happen and we cause hurt, unintentionally. I am an information seeker, and I ask lots of questions. It occurred to me, this could be causing hurt. As I am not transgender, I can never truly understand what it means for those living this truth. What I can do, is learn and continue to show compassion, empathy and support while on my journey to educate on sex positivity. By being more informed, I can hopefully share with others, so they too may understand and come from a place of kindness and compassion. I expect to meet many diverse people in my life and on my journey. I would like to have a solid understanding so I am able to provide support and information in a positive and respectful manner.
