Loren Schaffer Rosko, a TikTok star, has taken to social media to defend her sister against anti-trans trolls who misgendered her. In a searing video, Rosko exposed the hypocrisy of anti-trans folks, highlighting that her sister, Lindzey, was assigned female at birth and identifies as a woman, meaning that anti-trans people would hate for her to use he/him or they/them pronouns. Rosko pointed out that accusing Lindzey of being a man doesn’t make sense.
Despite being a tomboy all her life, Lindzey’s current androgynous look is due to the toll breast cancer has taken on her body. She has always been proud to be a woman, but the cancer took away her femininity and womanhood. Lindzey lost her hair and had both a double mastectomy and a hysterectomy to prevent the cancer from spreading. Despite all this, Lindzey is still proud to be a woman.
Rosko’s video went viral as she passionately defended her sister and called out transphobic trolls for misgendering her. She pointed out the absurdity of their arguments and showed her support for her sister in her time of need. Rosko’s message of love and support for her sister is a powerful reminder of the importance of acceptance and tolerance.
Rosko’s video serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing discrimination and hatred that transgender people face. In a world where transphobia is still prevalent, it is important to stand up against hate and to show support for the transgender community. The struggle for transgender rights is far from over, but with allies like Rosko and her sister Lindzey, we can continue to make progress towards a more accepting and loving society.
