Just start bulldozing them and only talk about DIY home projects. "OMG you should see our new deck. Steve wants to stain it but I really like the bare look."

I'm not trans, just a middle aged dude, but it gives me a bit of hope that the trans community has these sorts of options when it feels like half the world wants to deny you your preferred existence. Shitty that you have to, but glad that you can.
Fuck the bigots. Fuck the church. Fuck bad-faith politicians. Fuck the lies of conservatives. And fuck the people who can't or won't see the media doing the same thing to trans folk they did to gays mere decades ago.
Idiots, cruel intolerant, controlling idiots, the lot of them.
I remember when the Guardian was the good newspaper that proudly published the Wikileaks documents, sad to see them turn into the Terf Stasi.
