Visibly trans means I don't pass as cis. Anyone who looks at me knows that I'm trans. That's OK with me though since I'm non-binary and don't wish to pass as any particular gender. But it does mean that I'm occasionally in situations where a bigot wants to give me dirty looks, or try to call me a slur, stuff like that.
Personally I'm doing great and know exactly what my style is and who I am. I'm at peace with myself and I have a bunch of interests and artistic pursuits. Which I believe is a big reason for why I know who I regard as hostile. Anyone identifying as an open republican, conservative, right wing, etc. They're all either an idiot or someone who should get lined up against a wall and shot. If they're simply an idiot then yeah, put them in re-education and scrub their brain clean of everything rotting it. I do not have sympathy for adults openly identifying themselves as fascists or transphobes or whatever. They're utter scum who shouldn't feel the confidence to air their vile hatred in public. They should feel a permanent fear of public consequences.
This is why I own guns by the way. I do not feel comfortable sharing a country with this scum. I don't feel safe existing in a country where any random person could be a reactionary bigot who also has easy access to firearms. So I simply don't have sympathy for people who I might potentially have to shoot in self-defense because they thought I look too gay or whatever. I don't have sympathy for people who don't believe I should exist.
