Yes please answer as much as you want! I like reading other folks' thoughts on transness.

If it weren't for all the other trans people talking about their experiences I'd never have thought this could have been for me. And certainly there's a big difference between the visibility of "trans person on the news" and the visibility of "my friend talking about being trans".

Last year I saw a bunch of trans folks posting about "tdov" and I was all "wait, what holiday is tdov and how do I know so many Jewish trans people?" Took me a couple of hours to figure out what was going on :)
