    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 woman, I got told that my wanting a career was “just a phase” and I would drop it once I would get married…. After I had spend almost 10 years pursuing a promotion after the other…

        I can’t imagine how much worse trans folks have it.

    And gods forbid you become indignant at your mistreatment, because that’s “cis man energy” and “unladylike” and “clearly you aren’t really trans”

    Speak up about your mistreatment and it’s just used as an excuse for further mistreatment.
