> From my experience passing, how attractive you are, and your interests/hobbies are all attached to how well you a treated in the world right now.

True but I think it's out of touch to not see the trans part as effecting the severity factor to it. Like some of the first advice most trans women get only wear shoes you can run in. Where in my experience if you aren't enough of those three you'll get chased down and no one will care to help.

I only started dressing as a woman again after I couldn't pass as a guy anymore and learned how to be as attractive as I could be. Which is a common experience amongst trans women

I don’t doubt the severity of the trans experience.
