To the fine people of this city: I just want to say thanks to you for being so accepting of transgender people. Since I’ve started my transition, everyone I talk to about it has been fantastic. I’ve felt so supported, even by strangers. I currently still present male on a daily basis and nobody second guesses me when I tell them I’m trans, which I really appreciate. Probably the only bad experience I’ve had was when two gay males told me I was ruining my body.
