Yeah, it's a fascinating situation, but it really sucks still. Years ago I met a trans woman from Iran (she was a recent refugee to the US out of fear of persecution as a lesbian and an atheist) and she talked about how while the official government policy was that transition was ok, you basically had to do it as fast as possible and dedicate your life to ensuring you quickly become indistinguishable from cis people. This woman was shocked that I was casually transitioning while putting more effort into college than passing.
