30 Trans People Tweet Heartwarming Stories Of People Reacting To Them Coming Out
We hear so many negative stories when people 'come out' so it's pretty incredible to hear about the positive side <3

If you're even remotely switched on as to what is happening in the world right now, you would know that the life of most trans-people is not easy.
For many American trans-people, they're rejected by their families and fall quickly into the illegal sex-worker trade. While this is not the case for all transgender individuals, it is heart-wrenchingly common, and it is seldom that we hear positive stories about trans-acceptance.
Recently, Mel Stone, a musician, posted on Twitter about how her day was absolutely made by a take-out guy being kind and sensitive about her transition. Basically, she was treated like a human-being, which should be standard, but unfortunately isn't always the case.
Mel's story prompted many other trans-people to share their heartwarming trans-acceptance stories.
There really still is some good left in the world. Check all the stories out below.
