What does the comic have to do with trans folk?
Masking is a part of trans communities, but they don't realize it's a part of other communities, too. Anyone who's marginalized by society is forced to mask.
I think it's fairly obvious what masking has to do with trans people, I just don't understand the vitriol.
Trans people are forced to keep their heads down while going to their non-preferred restroom. Many trans people go to church and pass; they are afraid to tell those around them about their identity.
Again, we should all combine as minorities to defend ourselves and avoid infighting for no reason.
Edit: Sorry for too many "theys." I'm just keeping it gender neutral. I'm referring to an individual.
I do lalso question the "for my safety" part too, but that's probably because I just don't get it.
