'be happy and gay'

It's a bit difficult to do that when I literally don't have the same human rights protections or hate speech protections as most of society. Worse than that, people are aware of this, and use that tell me to 'retransition' because then I'll have opportunities and legal protections.

For the most part, trans acceptance is a social compact, and it breaks down quickly whenever the situation becomes heated. Like with my clothes at RNZ, or regarding all those serious discussions behind my back about HRT.
