SO sorry you've been going through this Sarah! I'm always enraptured when catching up on your blog posts, and I felt sick at the thought that people would make you go through that. I'd wager they've never truly felt what it means to be shouted down, have their opinions belittled, and being outright harassed for trying to be a part of society. There's a wealth of commonality between the current Trans struggle and the feminist struggle of the past. Sadly I think the irony of what they're guilty of is probably escaping them.
Try not to ever feel 'shouted out' of social areas. Rest assured that I consider your public front and generosity in sharing your experience has been instrumental to my life, to the point where I might not even have it without your sharing your experience. x
