    Or doing it for “attention”. Or “it’s just a phase”. I’m not trans, but I have two neurons and I see the account of soul searching, anguish and then rejection, discrimination and downright hatred trans people go through. I don’t think anyone would choose such a path if the other option, living hidden away, aka “”normally””, was manageable.

      As a previous white male, 6’1, i had an extreme amount of privilege. Transitioning saved my life and i simply wouldnt exist if i hadnt transitioned. Am i good at being a girl? No. Am i even feminine at all? Not really, but im much happier and i will eventually be the woman i want to be.

      I dont think people really know the gravity of pain and anguish being the wrong gender gives. I dont think people realize how much hormones change you. I dont think it affects people in any way at all and they should get over themselves
