I have them both as well, to varying degress. Fairly minor in comparison to most people, but when triggered, I'm pretty useless (but that seems to be a rather normal occurance, so maybe it's not the anxiety/trauma's fault : P)

The awkward moment when they do figure it out on your own and start asking questions... <<

And you're not :) I understand where you're coming from. From what I can tell, the trans* community on here seems to be pretty sparse, unfortunately... :/ So, it's really nice to find someone who understands, even if our identities aren't the same :)

Yes. It is the most delightful thing in the world *returns sarcasm*

It's always tragically heartbreaking (life ruining) when they do that in front of people you know, let alone strangers. I sympathize :(
