Miel,
A TG person also endures gender discrimination because they are fighting the internal battle of dysphoria and the external battle of dealing with it in the RW . I'm now 69 and most of my life has been lived with the expectations of how a man should dress and act , to me it was a male straightjacket . We suffer as a minority because so many of us are frightened to reveal the truth . I don't understand your comment about being more NB friendly although it doesn't work for me I accept it does for other people even if I don't totally understand it .
In the last two years I've found mainstream acceptance comes from just going out in the RW and doing it , the thoughts of danger , difficulties and persecution are mostly in the mind .
I don't totally agree with men dictating how nurses etc. were forced to wear dresses , some nurses I know lament the days when they wore a uniform they could be proud of , some really did prefer and enjoyed wearing them , one commented to me that she was a nurse not a mechanic !
