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.
