Struggling w. society's view on trans

•I've read all of your comments and I'm happily surprised by the difference in everyone's views on this matter. It's really learning and even with some misunderstandings in the comments about my text I'm still very happy I wrote this post.

•To make it clear about the biggest misunderstanding; I am not saying we all should have a shirt that says we're trans, I am saying I crave/wish that I could see more passing trans people being open about being trans. (Example being open on social media, to friends and families, going to prides etc). I'm not saying everyone should do this, I'm saying as a non-passing trans-man in the cis-community I have a wish to see more "role models".

•Thank you all for your comments, it's been lovely reading everyone's opinions.

I really wish more passing transpeople wanted to be open about them being trans. I see so many that wants to pass so they can be seen as cis and not get all those weird looks and other horrible stuff and I get it so much, I do. But I also struggle with knowing that society sees transpeople problematic because majority of the transpeople they see isn't passing and then they apply that to everyone, so it ends up society sees ftm like a "butch" and mtf looks like a "man in a dress", and I hate it. I would love if society could have a common understanding that transpeople exists in different ways and not have one sided idea of what transpeople looks like. And that would probably never change until more cispassing trans are open about being trans, but at the same time, we shouldn't have to prove to society that every transperson is different. And I crave seeing cispassing transdudes that are open to society that they're trans. I love the few role models I find and I so badly want to be that when I "grow up". It pains me that society sees us so problematic, and I want it to change for the better. This is something I really struggle with and very few of my trans friends does, do some of you struggle with this? It feels lonely struggling with society's view on us and not having someone that really understand what I mean.
