Ah yeah Tom of Finland was a trans woman.

They couldn't hide it like we could

I know trans people who hide it from their family and got married before same-sex marriage was legal (their partner was opposite sex). Sure they had to conform to their sex for the wedding cerimony but that's a small price to pay for a life of legal rights. To their family they're still just a happy straight couple. People can choose where and when to express gender.

Unless he thinks that trans people are only valid if they try to pass 100% of the time... But somehow I guess that he would disagree with this statement.

It'd be much harder to hide sexuality. If you want to pass an image of a happy straight couple you'd have to find someone to be your beard. In places/times when gay marriage isn't allowed, a cis gay man can't just put on a dress and pretend to be a woman for a day to get married to another man.

Not to mention that there isn't a single country that punishes transexuality while allowing homosexuality. Yet, there are countries that punish homosexuality while allowing transexuality.
