    "Trans people are actually tricking us" isn't a joke, it's actually something that gets us killed. Real funny.https://twitter.com/JimNorton/status/857411673216479233 …

    Caitlyn Jenner says she may run for public office. Hopefully she won't get elected governor and then tell everyone she's actually a mayor.

        I wanna talk about this a bit, actually. This was my main motivation for getting surgery. I wanted to be safe.

        I wanted to be able to use a bathroom without fear. I wanted to never have to worry about the TSA, about having to painfully tuck.

        I am 8 weeks and 1 day post surgery. I am still hurting. This is still painful and exhausting.

        It's messy. Physically and emotionally. It's a lot of work and care. Dilation alone takes over an hour out of my day, every day.

        I had insurance coverage, but had to pay out of pocket for my surgeon fees and file a claim. I had to take that money from my retirement.

        That cost me over $7000 in taxes and withdrawal penalties.

        All of this because people perpetuate the myth that we're "tricking" people. That we're deceivers. I never asked to be seen as a man.

        I put myself through hell because of this idea. It's literally the hardest thing I've ever done and I actually worked on nuclear reactors.

        So fuck anyone who treats this as a joke. We're literally dying because of this. We're worth more than a lazy goddamn punchline.

        The thing is, @JimNorton is not exactly known for being sensitive to gender identity issues. Or for being funny. Or human.

        Sorry to hear about your recovery but thank you for sharing. I'm too ignorant about that aspect of trans experience. Also reported.
