When I was young I had this wild fantasy that by the time I was an adult and done with my transition, I’d be able to just exist as a woman in the world. I was so naive.

I can't fault you for having been optimistic, I'm sure most trans people had confidence they'd be able to pass, even those of us who started transitioning after our first puberty. I know everyone talks about dismantling body standards and the idea of what a woman or man looks

like to end the idea of passing as a whole, but I feel like that issue has become in many ways irrelevant in the face of just how bad things are getting now. And...it's scary. I've gone from reading about genocide in books to looking it in the face, I don't have words for that.
