It amazes me actually to see someone go from being a middle aged white man with all the privilege that entails and volunteering themselves to spend the rest of their life pretending to be a middle aged woman with all the hassle that entails.
I watched a very interesting YouTube video the other night by a trans person who said they were just exhausted by all the up keep it took to pretend to be the opposite sex. To try to pass was exhausting. They were so honest. It was really interesting because it's what I've wondered actually. When you're young and attractive I'm sure it's easy enough but as you age it must just be such a complete and utter hassle.
