Transgender teens fighting each other??? We have it bad enough with the potential violence from the general cisgender population, we shouldn't have to add members of our own community into the mix.

Then again, being trans doesn't mean we will always support one another or be nice to each other. It's sad but it's a reality that happens all too frequently.

I've encountered more hostility from transgender men in the past because I didn't perfectly fit their norm of what it means to be a man and embraced my feminine mannerisms than the small amount of cis-male friends I've encountered and was openly transgender to.
