Yeah. I... I mean... if America was a game we’d be screaming at the devs and refusing to play until they rebalanced the class/race/sex and attributes balance. I’m not going to say that being trans is the hardest position to be in in our society- but I will say this, pick a race/ethnicity and add “trans” and it probably gets harder for you. Pick a handicap and add “trans” and it probably gets harder for you. Pick a social class and add “trans” and things probably get harder for you. Hell- even whatever sexuality you are- trans tends to make that harder. A large part of the birth of “trans culture” in America came from the fact, that even when being gay was illegal and the police routinely harassed and even beat gays- many gay establishments and social scenes wouldn’t allow trans people- even gay trans people, to be included.
Gay couples have long faced and still face hurdles in adoption, insurance, marriage, and general acceptance of their lives. Even as we have seen these things improve for gays (and life is still not easy to be homosexual in America or much of the world...) Trans people are still facing hurdles and discrimination which we have mitigated or largely cleared for the gay community. Even in activism- historically and even now, be it grass roots or big budget politics, gay and other groups advocating for people who aren’t traditionally cis heterosexuals, still often intentionally exclude or distance themselves from trans and trans issues. They see being associated with he trans community as a “poison pill” that hurts their chances of legitimacy and success in their quest for social acceptance.
I could go on and on as I am sure you could too. I mean- that’s without discussing any of the day to day struggles or efforts that trans people often have to make, or the dynamics of interpersonal relationships and such. But yeah. Being trans most certainly is not, as a general rule, for pretty much anyone in anywhere- “easy” and generally isn’t easier than being who you are and not being trans.
...bruh.
