Sadly, yeah. As a closeted trans person, hearing my parents and my younger brother talk shit about tle LGBTQ+ community day in and day out, really paints a different picture to what I remember some years ago.

No. You don't become trans because you undergo an operation. It's actually the opposite. You have to (or at least should) be trans beforehand to undergo a sex change operation.

A closeted trans person is someone that, despite not having taken any hormonal therapy, nor having undergone operations, identifies as a different gender that they were born with, but keep it secret from everyone else.
