Being trans in some ways is very similar to being an atheist, in that some people don't grasp it. People that come from different backgrounds just [say], What do you mean you don't believe in God? They don't get you. To them [religion] is just so obvious, and I feel like I keep on having that with gender, also. Some people just have in their mind very firm ideas of gender, and they just can't get it into their head.
