Do you think you’d have to pass to feel happy presenting. Or would you feel happy having people accept you as a woman who happens to be trans?

That latter part may be very difficult (or hopefully not) depending on where you live and your family/friends.

You don’t have to pass to be, or to be accepted as a “real” or “valid” girl.

Not to hand wave your feelings away. I’m sure you’ve thought this before. Personally I don’t mind not passing so long as people respect me as a woman.

Then again that might change once I’m out of the closet…

You say that like we like either, the only good thing about the DNC is that it isn’t the GOP.
