Isolation

At the bar they rule, but on the whole, the experience of transsexuality has to be very isolating. The outside world has not found a way to cope with fear of the male-to-female body. Acceptance and admiration are far from the norm. Violence against transsexuals is common, according to transsexual activists, who say that on average one transsexual is murdered each month in the United States.
