      the problem is that a lot of cis people genuinely have transphobia brainworms nowadays so even if I do the whole “nobody thinks about me” thing a lot of people actually DO, especially if you are very visibly trans

      although I’m probably really biased being in america

        yea, that’s definitely a more complicated situation. i’m not american; however, i’d honestly assume very few people in the real world actually care that much about trannies. like, you’d probably get stares or the occasional shitty comment, but i don’t think most people in the west care enough about anything to really hate trannies. in my experience, the vitriolic hatred is mostly an online thing. (it definitely varies by location, though.)
