"Bodies were perceived as time bombs, and a smothering association of sex with death, intimacy with danger, and health with isolation and survivor's guilt took over their lives." (The Other Side of Silence - Men's Lives and Gay Identities: A Twentieth Century History, John Loughery)
Although this quote is in reference to the AIDS panic of the 1980s, I feel like it speaks to the daily internal struggles that many trans people fight against every single day.
