I thought I'd explain what it's sometimes like, in my perspective, to be non-cis:
You have a different view of who you are in your mind than what you look like in the mirror. You may see yourself as someone feminine and beautiful. But look and see a guy with a beard. And so on.
People will act like they have the most innovative idea on the planet to tell you, then go on to tell you that their religion thinks you're evil. Once confronted with how you know they think you are evil, they will then try to downplay it and say they only consider you sinful, while still condemning you.
Relationships get interesting. A transgender person pretty much has to disclose that they are trans, because there are a lot of stories of anti-trans people freaking out and killing trans people. It gets worse though. Suppose you agreed to have a beer with a man. You don't disclose immediately you are trans. They start dancing with you and get a little raunchy and stick their hand down your pants. Even though it's their problem for initiating action, they will still get violent if they are anti trans and you haven't told them in time. By the time they are angry, it is too late.
Then you've got the people who say being Trans is just role play. In which case, I'd say for all we know, reincarnation could be true and we could all be role playing different lives and different genders.
