Also, I'm saving for SRS, and to be perfectly honest, I could use your help! If you can, great. If not, don’t worry about it. I totally understand (you don't need to feel bad or apologize if you can’t).

Surprisingly enough, I think it makes sense for someone who feels forced into hiding something to dislike liars. If they lie themselves, there might be a bit of self loathing involved.
There can also be a sense of being trapped for stupid reasons. Sometimes you get a sense that someone else's secret is something that would let you open up to them more readily, whether or not it's true. It feels to me like Emily's probably getting a lot of this sense. And, I think, from her perspective, it's accurate: if she knew Rain was trans, she would have little reason to fear anyone who knows Rain's secret giving up hers, because of her having a much bigger secret to blab.
However, Emily's secret isn't similar to Rain's and will come out on its own if she doesn't do anything about it and doesn't miscarry. And it sounds like Emily doesn't have a good track record with being trustworthy, so...
Actually, Emily's whole "hating-liars-but-being-a-liar" thing is a defense mechanism called "reaction-formation": basically, you claim (or believe yourself) to be against something you yourself practice. Example: every politician caught doing whatever they were trying to pass a bill to make illegal.
...Wow, I didn't expect today's psych class to be relevant so soon.
I've heard both. I don't know if one is more proper than the other, but I've got no qualms with the terminology as is. So I keep saying SRS, because I know people will generally understand what I'm talking about.
I think SRS is a better term for it: The surgery's purpose is to edit the patient's physical sex to match their gender (which isn't alterable through surgery). Though, granted, some principalities require SRS to take place before they'll correct a person's gender on their paperwork, that's becoming less and less the norm these days.
Also, found an informed consent clinic not too far from me... Thinking of going there and bypassing a psych...

@Jocelyn
am I correct or did I miss something?
Sort of. There is kind of a white lie from a little while back. But you guys wouldn't know about it yet. ^_^
