There are bio women who look masculine and they dont have the excuse they are bio males
If you are over 40 then you dont really have that long left on earth anyway, i think this is why many transpeople of a certain age just give up and enjoy their lives.
Age withers us all women over 40 become increasingly invisible anyway.
Younger people i would think that being trans is something interesting amongst the dull live their cohorts lead.
People fall out over all sorts of things part of the problem is trans tend to immediately assume its because of that.
Ali G best made that point - when asked to move along by a police officer at a rally - "Is it cos I is black!"
No its cos you are in the way...
Is it cos I is trans you dont like me - No i just dont like you!
We end up in the area whereby if you know someone who is black or gay today and you genuinely do not get along you find youself politically gagged as anything negative you say sounds like racism or homophobia.
Trans are exactly the same. This then becomes exhausting for those around them, its easier not to bother with minorities as they can so easily backfire when you disagree.
This can then lead to more people talking behind you back because talking to you risks upsetting you all the time.
example - you look like you have been dragged through a hedge backwards... (said in good friendly humour). Transperson see this as a direct attack on them and stamps feet
next day Oh have you seen mary she looks like she has been dragged through a hedge backwards - a chuckle out of earshot by the water fountain ensues. - Othering.
Who is that you know the transsexual - oh is she transsexual - yeah didnt you know? Know wow here frank ...
people will always talk about other people they gossip and gossip is not covered by the Gender Recognition Act unless the info was sourced through official means and thats all very wooly
