People have to remember what Lauren will have experienced and gone through in her life, and the amount of rejection and discrimination that she will have had to endure because of who she is will unfortunately lead her to sometimes make the understandable assumption that people don't like her because she's transgender. It's alright for us to sit here and go 'well that's not a very fair accusation', but we're not the ones that have had to face a decade of such prejudice...it's understandable that if someone made her feel like they didn't like her she may put it down to that because that's the general reason that people have probably given her in the past.

Having said that, I would also say that if you're part of a minority that experiences discrimination in society, you would have a pretty good gauge of when people dislike you or are uncomfortable around you because you're part of that minority.
