RE: Penny explains things, Episode 1. Anti Transgender arguments and why they are wrong.(revisit)
I think I'm probably one of the lucky ones, I haven't had the backlash that so many trans people talk about experiencing. Perhaps it's because of my age, I don't really know. I know a couple of younger trans people that have had a lot of problems with other people, so I know it happens pretty often. I transitioned in 2007, so it's been 10 plus years now for me. I'm currently stuck in the middle due to certain circumstances, but I'm farther than I ever thought was possible when I was younger. The internet opened up a new world for me, before that, the information on transition just wasn't commonly available.
i feel you on that for sure. When I was younger there wasent a word for what I felt available and it made it very difficult to understand myself and how too interact with the world, im so happy the information is so available now! Im a bit older and where as its not a daily thing I do get harassed, I had to move to get away from some of it, but honestly I wouldn't trade a second of being the real me for less harassment. I have a very public facing job its difficult but worth the exposer because I know I am a first impression for most cis people here, its like the next step forward to equality and all that, just wish people would get better about it all. Hope your well!
