- The basic stance that "you have a body the wrong way"

- Acceptance is frequently conditional. You have to prove that you've been suffering over this and you have to at least TRY to conform. Don't you dare ask for any accomodations, and also don't you dare just be happy. Tell us your sob story!

- If children see you they'll think it's ok to be that way and that's bad.

- Getting desexualised publicly and deeply fetishised in private or online. And "how do you even have sex? How does it work?"

- The systemic exclusion from public life because they'd rather you just didn't exist

- Difficulty finding clothes that fit both your body and your expression

- Healthcare providers frequently don't believe what you tell them, and don't know enough about your needs

- People around you want to find a cure

- People act like equal rights for you is actually special treatment. If you wanted human rights you should have been more normal

- People suck at just listening to you when you tell them what words to use about you

- People get super uncomfortable with the idea of you being seen as beautiful

- Media representation is scarce and often problematic. Very often, people like you are portrayed by cis/thin/abled actors in costume and they're called "brave" and "inspirational" for it

- accusations of being a drain on the healthcare system
