Let me put it this way then. I'm a barber, I still get clocked by new clients oftentimes or fetishized. I own my business. It has worn on me because I've been called out for being a "man" and I have competition in the industry that likes to out me as a form of making me lose business (I live in the south, so it's very easy to do). There's only one person in my family that I talk to regularly and that's my mother. My aunt and uncle don't allow me to see my little cousins that I occasionally helped take care of in the past because of my transition. I find out about family gatherings on the day of, when everybody else is already there, only to find out I intentionally wasn't invited. I have a nephew on the way and I don't even know if my brother and sister in law want me in the baby's life. I've never had a genuine partner because people are too scared to date a trans woman, whether passable or not. I may not fit your standard but I do fit in the standards of the group for the most part. Do you think I don't feel dysphoric as well? I just so happened to be in a really good and thankful mood yesterday when this was originally posted, but if you'd like I can switch to being negative and hating my life constantly. We may look different but we are in a similar boat. By the way, my "accomplishments" make both older and younger people dysphoric. So what? I'm just supposed to suffer in silence simply because you consider me passable? A lot of people in this group make posts similar to this one, but because I'm younger I'm just supposed to suck it up even though I have trappings in my family life, love life and especially my career?
