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.
fr tho. if my parents werent shitty i'd have loved to get on puberty blockers... avoid so many fucked up things ive had to deal with over the years
cw

yeah i knew for a long time that i was trans and i tried makeup on when i was like... 9 by getting into my moms stuff and my dad legit locked me into a room for a day with no food or water or anything because of that
Fuck.
As a cis dude I can't even begin to understand how much shit like this must have hurt, but yeah. Just holy fuck.
And the same to you @kristina for your comment above. No one deserves that.
Yeah, for real. I remember avoiding my parents in case they yelled at me for something arbitrary they decided I had done. I could not imagine the terror of being yelled at for who I was. Now I'm crying :hexbear-trans: solidarity, comrades.
I don't know... I grew up in a deep red state in bumpkin country and after I got out of HS I found out that two kids a few years behind me grew up to be trans ladies.
So.... shrugs ... they might be on to something.
it does turn them into trans commies but that's just because it's so soulless otherwise lmaoooo
Just like "Joe Biden is a Marxist" and "Colleges are Marxist indoctrination centers", this shows how Conservatives still think this country is much better than it actually is. I mean, how can Conservatives continue to lie to themselves like this to still believe America is the greatest nation on earth!
