except the deal with transition being "commonplace" around the internet is probably that you're only counting the trans people you see and not the cis ones

i mean, if i went around counting how many cis people there are in fandom then would you consider it reasonable of me to say "there are too many of them compared to us, it's weird"? taking note of how many trans people there seem to be comes out of the idea that we're deviations from the default - you're forgetting that everybody else isn't trans. when you measure us up against the cis people you know then i'm pretty sure we're still going to come out as the vast minority every time, no matter how many of us there are.

not to mention the fact that most "professionals" in this field are gatekeeping jackasses who'll refuse you for any reason under the sun. it's really kind of troubling what an emphasis so many people seem to put on having a diagnosis of gid or being 'ready' to undergo therapy or hormone treatment when it's not exactly always easy to get either of these things. i'd say i'm pretty much ready to start hormones - my doctor wouldn't (my country wouldn't). my doctor also thinks that whether i played with action men or barbies as a little kid is what should define my gender for me. that's just the way it is.
