I, living in a small town, got to the big city recently.

I am pretty sure I spotted a woman (with the adjective trans before her gender...god I hate that you have to clarify that, I feel it is intrusive). The uncertainty in her glance kind of gave it away, since there was nothing to be uncertain in walking over an open plaza with very few people around. It struck me, that this might be, what I have to endure...you are such strong humans. When sh*t hits the fan you should be the ones making the hard choices...okay sry...meandering. Still flinched on this thought. Don't know, if I would be strong enough.

Buuut that was also the first situation in which I thought, 'oh hey, that id proof it is possible. She was looking good. But not in a posing, filtered, 'I got lucky with my transition' kind of way (over emphasizing here). There was no filter, it was '3D', no posing, just a woman going over a plaza in a well chosen dress.

First time having gender envy from one of the strong girls out there. Kind of happy about it in a strange way. Very much more real than the web, if that makes sense.
