Right? They were just happy, normal, tax-paying, minding-their-own-business people,... and that pisses off resentful and miserable people so much.

derptron@Natasha_Jay WTF caused him to be transparent to the camera in their wedding photo? It looks like a greenscreen messup but it can't be.
edit: it's not the room they are in but the room the photo is in reflected off the glass. Whatever room they are in is too dark to see. That is soo fucking weird!!
They're in a museum full of photos. Those are not family photos behind them or whatever.
Very cute couple.

oh bless them, they look so happy ๐ฅน
but the way they were treated 
cybervegan@Natasha_Jay "Of course, being 'Trans' is a really new thing - never used to happen in the 'old days'..."
Trans people have always existed, and always will.

FragarachNot quite the same, but a senior Army doctor, who rose to the rank of Inspector General, the second highest medical rank in the Army.
He improved conditions not just for the soldiers, but also for the local population wherever he was posted.
He was discovered, on his death in 1865, to have actually been female. No-one throughout his career suspected, although the University Senate tried to prevent him taking his medical school finals, suspecting him of lying about his age, thinking he was actually a prepubescent boy.
