Note from Jack:

There was one particular moment that I really didn't appreciate, amongst the deliberate misgendering and unapologetic transphobia... A cis woman repeatedly touched the trans man's chest and asked, "Is this real?" What she was referencing is his post-op body, and she was touching him to feel the shape of his chest. Quick tip: Don't do that to any trans person. If you wouldn't repeatedly touch a cis woman's chest to feel if she's had a boob job, don't do it to a person of another gender. If a trans man has not, in fact, had top surgery, and he is just using a chest binder, I really doubt he'd be comfortable with someone touching his chest to feel the shape of it.

Thank you so much to the trans men and gender-diverse people who have reached out with recommendations. Now that my health is better, I am working on the site again. Thank you for your patience!
