We Need To Talk About Transphobia In Costuming, Cosplay And LARP (Transphobic Microaggressions)

Whether it’s historical costume, cosplay, live action roleplay, or any of the communities attached to this hobby - it can sometimes be exhausting just existing in these spaces while trans. A lot of these communities will make passionate statements about being trans inclusive - and I've lost count of the number of experiences I have had that have made me uncomfortable, but it often takes a long time - or even not until I share this experience with another trans person - that I realise WHY it made me uncomfortable.

Trans people cannot reasonably be expected to stay in spaces that consistently make them uncomfortable. If you are striving to be actively inclusive, you need to be aware of how you might be unconsciously expressing some transphobic bias.
