    Same. I also wish that media representation of trans people wasn't transphobic garbage for most of my childhood.

      yep i remember seeing some sort of special on a trans porn actress and they basically made her out to be this absolutely crazy person that wanted a billion surgeries because she was addicted

      and like... all that she really wanted was to fix a botched boob job after getting srs, ffs, and a boob job

      i remember being like, disgusted at her due to the phrasing of it, but i also felt a lot of empathy towards her. it was weird growing up in a transphobic environment. id meet a lot of it with pure revulsion while also being disgusted at myself, very strange

      Our school only taught the L and G parts so I didn't know trans people existed for a while. The first trans person I heard of was caitlyn jenner and she's a terrible trans icon.
