It's so nice to learn that back then, as now, trans people at some point in their live transitioned and then tried to live out their lives as the other gender, and were successful at it. Some only being found out after death or by becoming really ill. Luckily we're more open about it now. Also, now, as back then, most trans people just want to fit in and not be labeled 'other', or 'trans' for that matter.

I always get so confused when 'they' is used for a single person. Is there any alternative? Everything seems to sound silly

One day we will look back at Halloween and try to come to a political conclusion to make ourselves feel better.
