As a woman who is transgender, there is a lot of negativity to deal with.
State legislators that want to implement laws to discriminate against us by limiting access to medical care. People claiming religious values to treat others outside what they were “taught” casting stones at you. Family and friends who decide to pretend you don’t exist any more.
The negativity before accepting myself and starting to live my real self was worse. And many people — transgender or not — know what it feels like.
