It was truly horrible.
Gradually, I became aware of the realization that this is what trans folk experience ALL THE TIME, at least until they can transition to the point of finally feeling like themselves. That was the tipping point for me: knowing how horrific it would be if there were a law against my doing everything I could to heal my body to the point of feeling like me again.
I'd been empathetic to trans people before, but this experience unlocked a whole new level.

@courtcan thank you for this. I hadn't thought about pregnancy that way before, but as soon as you said it it made sense to me. I'm sorry for what you went thru. I know someone who's in a similar place right now, and I'll have another level of empathy for her now. @Azuaron
