What IS a hassle is when folks talk down to/look down on those of us who, in spite of the many challenges associated with being someone who is trans, opt to give them our full support but whilst acknowledging that it's not always fucking easy.

Case in point. My daughter is special needs and requires two people to help her bathe. B. and I have always been those two people, but now, because of B's ever changing appearance (Hy is masculinizing, rather than transitioning), I have to worry about whether or not others would deem this appropriate and whether some do gooder somewhere would get it into their head to throw wild accusations at U/us because in spite of being my daugher's step parent and carer, B. now appears to be a guy. So am I showing I'm 'hassled' if I talk about that? Worry about that? Turn to others for advice? No. I'm showing I'm human Jet.
