I'm a transgender woman that transitioned 6 years ago, and I recently generated significant fediverse drama, though these things are unrelated. AMA

If they're unrelated, why do you bring it up?

  Oh my God I am so retroactively angry.
What was your biggest challenge during your transition?

  One of my closest friends is undergoing a transition and I'm supporting her all the way. Can I follow up my question with one more?
  
  Is there something you wish a friend did that would make the process easier for you, that wouldn't necessarily be obvious?
