If you could pass at least it would probably be pretty easy to fly under the radar, although if you couldnt pass you were basically on the level of a circus freak, the sort pulled up on Jerry Springer shows etc. The lack of information available was a nightmare though, like you couldnt get referred to your local "gender clinic" or even find a guide to DIY on the internet.
