Not easy by a long shot

Trans rage is real and it can be fed through many sources of frustration. 

First there is gender dysphoria itself, then social and family rejection, followed closely by discrimination and violence and health care inadequacy. 

Internalized transphobia then adds another layer which can lead some people to the tipping point of suicidality. 

Recently I watched a documentary on Tubi about the early drag performers of the mid 20th century. Teri Noel who medically transitioned long ago was seen being interviewed and when the topic of her decision came up her expression became emotional, a bit sullen and more pensive. 

She had ended up married to a man who never knew her past but you could tell her life had been far from easy despite blending in perfectly as a woman. 

Those pre-transition glory shots of hers as Terry Noel clad in feathers and boas concealed an internal struggle. Yes, she eventually ended up living largely in stealth but it still occupied a very big chunk of her psychology to make it all work. 

Not even close to being easy but then whose life is?
