Gregory's Server@lolonurse @tillybridges I love a happy ending. I hate that so much intolerance had to be endured before it.

@lolonurse @tillybridges Sure, but the whole family situation must have sucked. Glad that’s all behind her. @badken @lolonurse not to mention that living with dysphoria is, in fact, painful and torturous @tillybridges @badken @lolonurse @badken the pain of gender dysphoria has nothing to do with pain from surgeries @badken @tillybridges @lolonurse whereas i lived as an assumed girl/woman for 45 years, during which time i earned a BSc(Hons), a PhD, tenure, some prizes, etc, and then i transitioned. what those of us who are older had to do in our first incarnation wasn’t merely a choice, it was actually determined by the local level of societal cissexism/transphobia. e.g. there were zero services for trans children, youth, or young adults where i grew up. |

Don't forget this person chose to live this life, mostly because it was giving her the exact scholastic/educational opportunities she had her sights set on. Her BA, MA & PhD, and research, papers, books & classes all went totally her way. She was a major asset to the university, as she set up 2 new syllabuses for the school to offer! She also was "allowed" to come out to her classes & department, and she started a women's study department.
