"I've spent much of the last three years reading books, blogs and scientific papers by trans people, medics and gender specialists," she tweeted."Never assume that because someone thinks differently, they have no knowledge. I respect every trans person’s right to live any way that feels authentic and comfortable to them. I'd march with you if you were discriminated against on the basis of being trans.
