      From Croatia, and while laws are not necessarily transphobic (I think I can still transition) society still is especially in smaller towns

        I feel you, I live in the South in the U.S. in one of the most transphobic states. I was terrified to come out, but it ended up going much better than I expected. For the most part people just didn’t care, and the worst I got were stares usually from older or hyper-masculine men.

        EDIT: this made me think that a lot of that fear was oversized, more in my head than reality. Transphobic violence is real, but is mostly targeted against poor trans women of color.

          poor trans women of color

          The more of these words apply to you, the worse it is:

          1. poor
          2. trans
          3. woman
          4. of color

          America is kinda weird like that where being a “freak” is almost seen as cool by everyone, but there’s still mad bigotry. i really don’t know how else to explain it, but there’s a live and let live attitude where people just want everyone to leave each other the fuck alone

            It’s true, I think it’s that being a freak stimulates people’s hyper-individualism, while the “man in a dress” (the feminine gender expression on a “male”) stimulates certain men’s homophobia (fear they might accidentally find me attractive) and insecurities in their masculinity (a generalized tendency to engage other men in a way that puts down femininity and promotes hyper-masculinity).

            For the most part I was only ever bothered by overly aggressive men who would probably have been assholes in the world generally - it seemed to me the problem was with them and their fragile masculinity more than anything else.

          I did, ever since I was child I always wanted to go somewhere where no one knows me and live life as a woman, but right now I can’t go because I go to university and plan to finish it and maybe find job in food industry somewhere outside.
