i dont think there is any correlation between being trans and mental illness, beyond a lot of mentally ill people choosing to be trans.
does that make sense? its a subtle point.
and ive been fishing literally all day and i feel like im trying to carve an ice swan with a ball peen hammer at the moment.
lets put it like this; if i have to choose between hiring a trans person and a cis person to work with, im giving absolutely no fucks whatsoever about the trans person being trans unless they are half assing it and cant pass and look like a fucking weird stomach turning messtastrophe like bruce jenner.
then into the garbage their resume goes.
but im basically never looking at a trans person and being like UH OH THIS PERSON MIGHT BE MENTALLY ILL.
unless cant pass / messtastrophe. thats someone who has to see nothing but horror and disgust reflected back in strangers faces until they kill themselves. which will tax on a nigga.
