    What do you call living your whole life with a binder on, going by your chosen male name, and wishing to die over having a doctor give them a look over?

          I don’t know what the proper term is. I’m sorry. Not trying to be rude or offensive. English isn’t my first language either

            Understood. They were trans in the modern sense of the word. Ran away from home, took on a man’s name and learned a “man’s” trade to support himself. They didn’t have the word trans back then, but no one other than his wife knew the truth until he died. But the word trans didn’t exist back then. And there was no positive term for it until modern history.

            Sorry to jump at ya.
