Trans women, do cisgender women generally accept you as one of the girls? Do you feel welcome? Trans men, do guys treat you like they do other guys? Do they teased you like they do their buddies?

I have concerns about transitioning for various reasons. However, having a supportive group of girls and feeling welcome in female spaces would bring me a lot of happiness. Even if I struggle to pass and face harsh treatment from others, having my supportive friends around would be what matters most to me.

My male friends treat me like one of the guys and joke around with me. Since I’m mostly stealth now, that probably helps, but it’s the same with guys who knew me before I transitioned.

Supportive friends make a big difference. Focus on your happiness and their support.
