The Half-Life of an Out Transwoman

I've just finished doing two university classroom sessions where I basically field any question the students can come up with. It's basically a very enjoyable experience because in part I like making people laugh and I don't mind being honest. I'm also upfront with the fact that I'm only speaking for myself and my experiences and any thoughts I offer about the community at large are only my opinion and should be taken as such.

And yet... for the first time, it felt slightly odd. And I realized it will only get weirder.

There's a half-life to being an out transperson doing outreach. A period of time in which you can do it that has a finite lifespan.
