They describe how recent shifts in public attitudes towards trans rights have led to feelings of uncertainty and fear. Topics of concern include potential discrimination in social settings, airport security, and the workplace. The author expresses dismay over the changing landscape of rights and how they affect their mental well-being, contrasting the past, when being transgender felt increasingly accepted, with the current environment of rising hostility.
