Exactly. ( something of a relieved smile. ) We've not even electrics where I'm from. Dating at all is more – arranged courtships. Or eloping, if you've no love for the courtship.
I come from a wealthier family where marrying into the right family comes with a certain kind of pressure... but that was always second string to my coming out as Trans.
Ah - I understand that. My father was the city's dinh. For me, my parents wanted me to marry a particular girl. So she was my dancing partner, they encouraged us to spend time together. It didn't work out, for good or ill.
( beat. full disclosure: )
I had to google what trans meant, after reading your page. There's a lot of words for it, back home, just that wasn't one of them.
Not at all. No world is a perfect world, but anyone could be who they were, if they had the right friends and family. And if not - my world's been in a state of moving on for as long as I can remember, now, and if nothing else, it's good for freedom.
I'm glad. I would say that I wish I could move to your world but it sounds like you don't have internet and I guess having my identity questioned at every turn is the lesser of two evils :)

What does 'courtship' involve where you're from?
