Writing about anything trans related in the books subreddit is unfortunately a landmine. Mentioning a philosophy or life in the minority will at best get a tepid, but low amount of interaction and at worst will garner you "just asking questions and positing ideas" sealioning ignorant folks. Most cis people are ignorant of the trans experience even if they know trans folks.

Unfortunately for trans people, being talked over and not fully listened to is a story old as time. Even if said person previously worked with the NHS assisting trans youth. Especially if you're in an anonymous forum on Reddit. This thread and most trans related threads in the books subreddit are like a bittersweet companion piece to your own post. I really enjoyed your insight and hope you're having a good day regardless.
