1. Thank you. It's nice to know that it's not all in my head.
2. My uncle consistantly impresses me and is probably the only person after whom I consciously pattern myself without ever having cause to regret it. Did I mention that he also does scads of community work? I'm thinking of naming a child after him; likely one of mine, but possibly someone else's by way of some paperwork sleight of hand.
3. As far as being recognized goes - on the bus, April saw a female-bodied person with a pin that said "Boy." Se suggested an equivalent to me.
Although I've taken a few pokes at what drives it, I still don't understand revisionist history. It's also hard to find people who state that they've done it, as you might imagine.
The moving thing makes a certain amount of sense for people who have had nothing but rejection come out of their transition - since they no longer have any positive social ties, why not get outta town and into somewhere safe? It would be like if everyone you knew died - and then turned into flesh-hungry zombies.
On that note, My mom knows a ciswoman who saw one child severely brain injured in a car accident, the other kill himself, and a divorce after her husband's affair. She remarried, left the city and hasn't really contacted anyone. Gone.

And this reply started out so very cheery... :|
