She has unlocked, but you're spot on about having to constantly act like you're happy with your transition. No more mentions of crying and shaking from medical trauma, or everyone still calling her "she" in public. Everything is fine now!

It reminds me so much of American evangelicals. There is a big taboo in evangelical culture against expressing any prolonged negative emotions like disappointment or despair or hopelessness, no matter how bad your situation is. Whenever you see an evangelical post about some negative event or emotion, they'll inevitably follow it up with a paragraph or two saying "but God is so good!" "I know God is working through me towards greater blessings!" "I still feel so blessed and appreciate our abundance!" They can sense that the other members of their religion will side-eye them if they stray too far away from the idea of God inevitably making everything better for believers.
Same thing here. They are allowed to have
some temporary negativity towards your own transition experiences, but they have seen enough detrans people being scolded for "giving ammunition to transphobes" that you know they are not allowed to stay on that road for too long. Not if they want to keep their friends and community.
So forget all that silly negativity, and go back to declaring how great you feel! #soblessed #thankful #livelovelaugh
