@kkarhan @catdad It isn't like that for all of us. It wasn't for me, though transition improved my quality of life immeasurably.

A lot of us who transitioned before or absent of reaching transition or die don't speak super loudly about that, because many of us didn't even know we were trans until much later in life.

And, right, wrong, or indifferent, there's a chunk of the community that looks down on us for all that.
