As a transgender person, this is all that happens in our lives to be honest. It's very tough to have anything but a 'rough time' when the general public views you weirdly, and your family/friends have completely abandoned you.
Not impossible and not necessarily excusable. Just... difficult.
This is really accurate. I've really had to work on making good decisions and working on some slight anger issues during my transition after pretty much all of my family abandoned me, a lot of my friends started making fun of me publicly or just abandoned me totally. It's a significant reason why I moved across the country to Seattle -- a more open and accepting area of the USA -- to make new friends and get a job that was very open to LGBT persons. It's still tough, but the life change, surrounding myself with people who support me, really helped.
