    You deserve a standing ovation to this comment. We are conditioned to believe women are dramatic, oversensitive liars…but overall we aren’t. You’ve got a very diverse perspective because you know what it’s like to be seen as a boy, and also live your life as a woman.

    You make an excellent point about being thrown into the deep end when you revealed that you’re a woman. We generally get warned by other women gradually as we grow up, and gradually get more experiences as we get more independence. There’s a big difference between going to a kids party age 8 to going to a nightclub as a teenager, but usually we gradually build up as we grow. Trans women can be thrown into the lion’s den with no training, and left to fend for themselves. I’m really sorry you had those experiences.
