Sorry, but this quote has to be one of the most while, disgusting shit I’ve ever seen.
Trans people have indeed existed throughout history, for example Alan Hart and Lili Elbe, born in 1890 and 1883 and the first individuals to get ftm and mtf reasignment surgery respectively.
Back in the days of the suffragettes, cross-dressing was a crime and a a trans-woman/man would be institutionalized or murdered.
Even today, trans people face high rates of violence, sexual abuse and poverty, more than the general population, so claiming trans people are “cowardly” is the most disgusting, vile statement ever.
