You don't need to throw Molotov cocktails in the street to incite political action; it can be done by simply writing a letter to the correct person.
But if you're one of many in your area, I'm surprised it affects you so. Maybe there's a group you can join for support. Do you get the local paper?

no i do not get the local paper
yes there are support groups nearby
yes i have gone
but two different transsexuals are not necessarily any more similar, than two different cisgenders.
in my area there are plenty of gender nonconforming people. but when i went to UCSD, that was pretty homophobic. they rejected me in a lot of different ways.
That's awful; I'm so sorry.
I was once rejected by a group I thought I belonged in better than anywhere. I still have nightmares full of sadness about it.
People can be so f****d up when it comes to gender relations. You'd think penises and vaginas were leaders of highly controversial political parties constantly trying to screw with people's heads, instead of just fleshy appendages like noses or ears. Never heard of people being given a wide berth because of their attached earlobes or hooked honkers.
And now I'm imagining Donald Trump dangling between Vladimir Putin's legs.
