This is brilliant, and I've been thinking about it a lot since reading it. To the previous commenter... Of *course* the analogy doesn't work... Being accepted as anorexic is fatal, while those who are accepted as transgender can thrive. (It's the rejection that can be fatal).
But while the analogy is fundamentally not parallel, the whole purpose of this article is to show the emotional experience of people who believe that being trans is as dangerous as being anorexic... And it REALLY hit home for me.

Sorry but, I really don't think that analogy works.
