Did you know the speed of light is different in different mediums? The light doesn't REALLY slow down, but it keeps getting captured by water molecules and re-emitted. So, it can take a long time to move through bouncing from molecule to molecule like a bride trying to get anywhere chatting with a slew of tipsy distant relatives. In water, light actually moves about 75% the normal speed of light because of this phenomenon. The more dense, the slower light goes.

That's the nefarious thing about the current rhetoric of hate being thrown at transfolk. I don't pass. I know when people who don't know me don't like me.
It's when someone you DO know seems unhappy. And you can't tell if it's because they decided to believe the rhetoric, or they're just having a bad day. And now, my evening is full of worry, probably for no good reason.
