You would think that discussing a group of people who have literally hacked the code of their own bodies to present in their correct gender would be pretty fantastic, but transgender people are remarkably mundane.
For the most part, we simply want to be left alone to live our lives as we ought to.For some, however, the idea of people choosing to transition is somehow a great fear, one that they need to blow up to titanic proportions.
Left without a real threat, we are stitched into a patchwork of horrors, tailor-made for all situations.It is not hard to find some of the stories out there about transgender people right now.
They're not difficult to discover between the lines of anti-transgender laws, on right-wing media, and on the lips of certain famous fantasy authors and has-been comedians.Transgender people are supposedly going through the challenges of transition in a hostile society so that we can claim fame and fortune in women's sports, perpetuating tired patriarchal tropes of male dominance.Or we're going through all this to gain a foothold into women's restrooms to assault women and girls.
