Trans people seem to share many of my interests. Programming, Linux, hating fascists and billionaires. I only have love for them.
Trans people specifically enjoy programming and Linux?? Time to make some new friends lmfao.
There’s a joke that if you’re meeting a trans femme she’s either working in tech or does sex work… And… Like… Wellll… it’s not wrong, stereotypes aside, welp
My experience is that they tend to be into gardening and horticulture. And fine art. And death metal.
None of those are mutually exclusive to programming
My younger set, and even the older ones, are so lasseiz-faire about kids transitioning. Like, it still seems kind of a big & scary deal to me, and I have a trans son. I don’t mean I would ever try to squash anyone into a box, at all, it’s not my life, each person gets their own! I did grow up with drag queens & gay people, that was such a beautiful, safe and inclusive scene for those of us who didn’t fit in, in whatever way. We would just go and dance and have a good time. But there were not many transsexual people, some of the drag queens were people who wanted to be women, were always women, but more were usually men who liked to perform as women.
That got long, sorry - I just always think it’s odd that so many kids are trans - enough that all of my kids had/have multiple trans friends. Like once it was sort of ok and not actively fought against, I would still think it would be vanishingly rare (and I don’t think I think that out of any sort of prejudice), and it’s not.
Ngl, there’s still plenty of assholes in the current crop of under 30s and under 20s.
But, yeah, there’s a lot more of this kind of acceptance and decency. It’s a beautiful thing to see. I got to see a similar wave of change back in the nineties with gay people, men in specific, where the millennials were essentially defaulting to acceptance or outright active support. For my generation, we had a longer road to divest ourselves of outdated thinking, so watching acceptance spread was a different experience than watching the next generation just grow up without as much baggage.
Again, no generation has ever, or will ever, be a monolith of bottled belief. But it does seem like the curve of decency on average is looking really damn good right now.
this post failed to convey who transitionned to what and what is to love about Gen Z lol
No, it’s all there. The “we” is the parents. They have a son. The dress was pre-transition. So if they have a son now, before he transitioned he would’ve been their daughter. It was the dress she wore before transitioning to a man. Because the dress belonged to a Trans man, the gen z recipient acknowledged that she’ll be the first “girl” to wear the dress therefore seeing it as “new” in a way.
Okey now i see; i got it in opposit direcrion and couldnt whats to love
The kids are still dumb?
Even if you’re being PC as can be; it was PRE transition dress. She’ll be the 2nd girl to wear it. The first one’s… dead.
The idea is that they were always their identified gender even before they realized it or were comfortable saying it publicly. I get the sense from this post that you are tolerant, but not entirely informed. (Which is okay! When understanding stops being a process is when it stops being understanding.)
I don’t think someone who says “even if you’re being PC” is a tolerant person.
I want to be as ‘PC’ as possible, but I can no longer afford the RAM. That damned ai strikes again!!
… Unless he transitioned before going to prom? Or maybe considers himself as always having been male before formally transitioning?
She was trying to be kind and inclusive. No need to grumpily look down on her because “uhm actually”.
I was reading it as, “now this dress has the capacity to have had boy cooties on it” which I would have thought, in my limited frame of reference, that would make the dress more gross and perhaps at the very least less desirable for those who are inquiring enough to care about “who has worn this before me”. but I guess if you think about it from the perspective of pulling it off, wearing it well and it fitting their personal taste well for the “first time for that dress”, for whatever that’s worth could be the other interpretation which could reasonably be something I could see someone being excited about. I’d still probably wash it at least once either way, so I’d venture to guess that the person was saying so to primarily show an inclusive forwardness of complete understanding to the seller by incorporating a positive spin on one aspect of the unique novelty of having the backstory to go with the article of clothing they had found.

What the hell are boy cooties. Who says that past like 10 years old.
-
Duh everyone would wash a secondhand item of clothing before wearing it.

You don’t need to phrase yourself as if you’re submitting a dissertation.

What the fuck are you on about?

trans people are born their gender. There is a huge difference between cis people and trans people before transitioning with the same assigned gender at birth. Before they realize they are trans, they act as their gender, but convinced they are their assigned gender at birth so they try to do things they perceive as respecting that gender.
this is from my own experience and other trans people i have seen, so it probably doesnt apply to every trans person ever, but i dont think its that big of an assumption for a child to make
They were still themselves before they started transitioning, that part doesn’t change. They were always a boy if that’s what they’ve come to understand they are as part of transitioning.
I think you’ll find they transitioned from afab to a boy. Thus, no girl wore the dress.
Oops got confused with myself there😅
Which came first, the girl or the egg?
the man came first.
because the man always comes first.
Come on, I said I was sorry
Thank you. I actually had it backwards in my head until read your comment.
