Transition: 2001-2004. Fully stealth since 2002 (had sex reassignment surgery & changed all of my documents). My last transition procedure was voice feminization surgery.

    I mean no disrespect to your parents, their support is amazing, but I am cracking up over them being so homophobic that they went all the way around to going full pro-trans. “As long as you’re not a gay boy, we cool.”

      Not sure if I’m making things up but I think in Iran you’re allowed to marry a man if you transition into a woman, which is funny because in a way it’s more progressive than the US

        You’re allowed to marry (or just date, or fuck) whoever you want in the US, regardless of the gender of anyone involved. Meanwhile in Iran being gay carries the death penalty.

          As long as you don’t care about the social consequences, sure. But even that, not for very much longer.

        Iran forcing gay people to transition or face a potential death penalty is incredibly regressive.

          Not saying it’s a good thing. I just consider it ironic taking into account the extremely transphobic political atmosphere in the US right now.

      it’s literally the kind of thing Hank Hill would do, turns out that boy ain’t right. walks in on bobby kissing a boy and freaks out, learns the word “transgender” and immediately tells her to go clothes shopping with her mother and sister.
