Perfectly Reasonable:
Dick first is better than ass backwards.
(Does anyone venture to disagree?)
cabbagehut:
Many trans* people prefer not to "come out" at all, because it opens them up to questions, bigotry, and in some cases/places, violence. It's a little different that the other letters in the LGBTQA spectrum in the way that telling people that you are what you are can invalidate you in their eyes (e.g.: "you're not a 'real' woman" or seeing you only as your trans* identity and not just "woman" or "man"), though some of that happens with sexuality, too.
Of course, everyone's different, and some people want others to know and to be open about their experiences, which is fine, too.

You mean like how the forum reacts to Claire?
Half Empty Coffee Cup:
April first draws near. I wonder if we're going to be pranked again.

The QC-verse is different from ours - no AIs here for one thing. But similar in many ways:
And in this one... Texas HB1747 makes it illegal for anyone with female ID to use a male restroom, while HB1748 makes it illegal for anyone with XY chromosomes to use a female one.
Not being able to use a public restroom - including one at work - is a dead giveaway.
Maybe such asshattery is confined to the way AIs are treated in the QC-verse. Anyway, it's why I identify more with Momo than Claire.
