me, reading this: YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND? WOW, LUCKY! I mean, am I more keenly aware now than I was pre-transition of the aspects of my appearance that keep me from being seen by everyone as a woman? Yeah, I guess I am. But it still sure as hell beats the alternative.pic.twitter.com/mleot2IuPx

And I get not wanting to be patronized to. It's a fact of my daily existence that I am not considered attractive by general cultural standards, so don't pretend to me that I am. But if I'm beautiful in your eyes, well, I'll take it. I'll gladly take it.

There will always be prejudice but society is moving towards acceptance. In the 80s it was "ok" to make fun of gays. In the 90s people started to realize there was nothing wrong with it. Then gay marriage was the end of the world, until it wasn't. Now its trans rights.
