we dont decide who's legit trans. maybe back in the day when psychiatrists/psychologists played financial gatekeepers, but after 30 years of informed consent, one would think that whole thing would have been buried & forgotten.

there isnt a "trans" social ladder although it certainly appears like there is. just like everyday living, there appears to be a social ladder.

im not knocking say the weekend cross dresser, drag queen, trans, whatever, though yes, my words portray that. but what does get some, like me, i admit to it, is when they proclaim, they are just like me. well, no, they arent.

everyone has different goals & wants , its just that, different.

transition & trans isnt a competion. im not competing with anyone else. someone competing with me? knock themselves out, im not competing with them. not even playing.

but it certainly seems like a competion. who passes, whos stealth, whos voice is better, ... who look younger? who transitioned earlier, who look more femme or masculine?? who got bottom surgery, who doesnt want it??

pfft, its tough enough to pkay the game of life, let akone games at work, adding trans, its playing 5 or 6 games at once.

i once posed the question what comes after transition & ya know, not a single person posted anything about afterwards. & i got a temporary ban on a subred for asking that. weird. ive yet to read anywhere on any subred about after one is done transitioning.
