I need to get my hair dyed.  But, my major concern is that individuals like me will, if the far right has their way, be lumped with sex offenders and the like all in the name of "protecting" K-3 students.  By the way, when I show-up to pickup my 5th grader from her school, dozens of K-3 children get a real-life lesson in transgenderism "live and in full color".  So far, no adult or parent has said anything to me, although, I have gotten a few nasty comments from a few of my daughter's classmates, both girls and boys, which I have ignored.

The combination of a lack of proper defense of the issue from some liberals, along with recent opinion polls concerns me. If the polls are to be taken seriously it seems like trans issues have not quite caught up to gay rights issues in the mainstream. I’m concerned that the far right is deliberately trying to create a wedge issue out of this with knowledge of said polling data. Im also concerned that the same data could explain some of the lack of liberal backlash.

It makes sense that trans rights hasn’t gotten to that point, honestly. Less than a decade ago, trans folk were treated as the “oh yeah, those exist, too” part of the LGBTQ spectrum, only appearing in media either as a joke involving a chick with a dick or (far more rarely) a character in an Oscar bait movie. And even then, they’d almost certainly be played by a cis person. The gay rights movement took decades to go mainstream, and even with the rise of social media, it only makes sense that trans rights would be lagging behind.

I'm still working on getting the right lipstick.

I must have extremely good trans radar, because, with all due respect, something about the facial structure (or maybe the jawline) tipped me off immediately. Then again, if I remember her posts accurately, she spent decades pretending to be male before she found out who she really was, so having your body flood you with the wrong hormones for decades might have something to do with it, even if she’s finally embraced who she really is.

I've seen bio-women look more manly than her, that's why I never judge an individual by her appearance.

I am at peace with myself; no one else should care.

And, honestly, that’s all that should matter. Unfortunately, people are fucked up and one of the two major political parties has decided you’re public enemy #1 because it took you years to catch up to who you really are.

My femininity has always been with me, from the very beginning. Fundamentalist Christians taught me from age 5 until my renunciation in high school that I was a willful sinner destined for eternal Hell. After that, psychologists classified me as a crossdressing pervert with a spot on the DSM-IV. In addition, until recently, I feared loss of employment, and, so, yes, it took some time to realize that I was neither a lost sinner, nor mentally ill, nor unemployable.
