Trans day of visibility yesterday
I feel like I can't be out safely.
I don't feel safe anymore. Not from anyone

Dear Centaured~
I haven't spoken with you for a while and was sorry to read that you have had medical problems on top of everything else. I also read your similar post and touching poem in your other thread:

I can understand your fears. Some people are ignorant, and do not regard trans with respect. A sad fact of life.
As a result I do think taking part in TDOV is an activity best done in a group with mutual support, rather than going it alone. While at the moment you may regard everyone wiht hesitation there are an awful lot of people in the world who look at the person - not their gender. I hope in time the number of people you meet like this grows
