Shitty in the interim for sure, but it's nice knowing how disruptive it's getting. I outright tell work places I will not go. I also have brought up the embarrassing but truthful act of needing to look up bathroom laws for places I travel to. A lot of coworkers after meeting me realize just how absurd it's gotten; and how transphobia affects them even.
I hate having to be the trans representative for so many people, but the fact it's had a noticeable affect on people's viewpoints is nice at least.
I have some friends in Florida; one moved there recently in part against his better judgement. He told me I'm welcome to stay with him if I ever were in the area. I had to tell him it's not only dangerous but outright illegal for me to. I'm not risking a fraud charge for having changed my gender marker.
So yeah. Their loss, and they're starting to feel it.
