I have met more than one T woman who in her previous life was filled with hubris and danger seeking. I met a post op in Thailand who had been a black ops soldier in SE Asia. Another said that they had enlisted in the Military to get killed in combat. Among T women this is not uncommon. My own antics don't compare to combat, but I did things in civilian life that frightened the hell out of me, and often felt deep inside that if I did just one more thing that could kill me, I would be validated.

I've not felt very sympathetic to Bruce/Caitlyn because I know how hard and devastating the journey is, so feel cynical about a good outcome.
