This is not meant as personal attack on anyone, but if I can go out every day while visibly trans, ya’ll can wear something other than blue jeans and a band tee-shirt. At least for dates 😅
I guess it did, although especially in middle school I took the disapproval of the some people as a sign I was probably doing something right. I was definitely not dressed like any of my peers even long before I knew I was trans.
But I was also taller than everyone until high-school (reached 5’7” some time in 6th grade) and it might have helped more than I realized back then ? It’s not easy bullying someone who’s 2 feet taller than you 😄

As a man you learn quickly if you’re the nail that sticks up you’re the one to get hammered. We’re forced to blend in.
Really this applies to everyone too.

As an adult, I couldn’t care less what people think, but growing up it mattered a lot more. We learn some bitter lessons as children.
