When I was 10 I couldn't buy cigarettes because I wasn't old enough to understand the consequences and make a rational decision for myself. Now all I have to deal with is the societal pressure that it's "wrong" to smoke and that I'm a bad, unhealthy person for it.
As an aspie, I'm not allowed to be trans, because I'm not capable enough to understand the consequences and make a rational decision for myself. Once I get past all that red tape, I STILL have to deal with the same crap you do: the societal pressure that it's "wrong" and that I'm a bad, unhealthy person for it.
