i wasn't there for long, is how. now i see that the idea that VB has only referred to himself as a man and not a TRANS MAN means his identity is obviously invalid. nice. because otherwise people might have thought he was really a man, and not a fake one, i suppose. and also i assume because all trans people have the exact same experience and describe it and temselves in the same way, especially if they are already batshit insane.
