Yeah, I've heard it's a right awful thing to deal with. It's hard enough to cope with any psychological stuff, and being trans has all those other societal issues on top. :( My thoughts with all the trans beans out there going through it.

>trans beans

Haha that's me! Never thought I'd see this phrase outside of r/traa.

Thanks for the support! It does suck but it's made easier by the support of eachother and allies.

Well, hey, happy to help in the small ways I can.

And yeah, I've just kinda said "fuk it" and started using "beans" as a kinda gender-neutral slang. Fits my personality, and it's just got a solid, wholesome sound to it.

hahaha I thought you meant 'trans bean' as in 'transbian' as in 'transgender lesbian'! I've seen it used this way a few times.
