I came out as trans in July, and began transitioning in August and of course I was worried about how society would react. I've been kind of bracing myself for the inevitable backlash for the past few months, both online and in person but so far I've seen nothing.

I don't know if it just takes awhile for these things to be noticable, if I just hang around the right circles online and irl, or what but I haven't experienced any of the negative societal effects that are seemingly so common.

I don't want this to seem like a brag, I actually feel kinda weird about it. It feels like I'm missing some part of being trans or like a rite of passage or something. I find it hard to relate on a level more than empathetic to other trans people's trauma because I just haven't experienced it myself. My issues seem so small and insignificant too that I have some trouble venting in support groups because like 'what do I really have to complain about?'

I'm definitely rambling a bit so sorry about that. I am curious about other people's experience with this kind of thing though. Anyone else feel like they've unintentionally distanced themselves from the trans community just because of lack of trauma?
