True but I think that religious moralists/transphobes/homophobes viewed Christine as an aberration. "It didn't happen in my town" or "No one in my kid's school was like this." Today, as more people demonstrate incredible bravery by living as who they really are, the transphobes feel more threatened. Stupid, but that's the reality.https://64.media.tumblr.com/3ecfd94b15fe7d619a9312f08a829c46/4f9cea5cf481bbcf-77/s400x600/decbed268a0f8581fbfa354382bdb4edd83bbc39.jpg

But back in the 1950s people were happy to just be alive
Yea, like the number of acceptable trans population is one-per-generation...True but I think that religious moralists/transphobes/homophobes viewed Christine as an aberration. "It didn't happen in my town" or "No one in my kid's school was like this." Today, as more people demonstrate incredible bravery by living as who they really are, the transphobes feel more threatened. Stupid, but that's the reality.
This is some interesting and surprising stuff! The acceptance evident by the coverage isn't what I would have expected even in a large east coast city. My impression has been that if there was any place in America, it would have been NYC to be relatively safe as transgender back in the 50's.https://64.media.tumblr.com/3ecfd94b15fe7d619a9312f08a829c46/4f9cea5cf481bbcf-77/s400x600/decbed268a0f8581fbfa354382bdb4edd83bbc39.jpg

From stuff I've read this isn't necessarily true. Bone structure depends when puberty blockers and hrt is started. Obviously the younger the better.

If the trans community, or any community, isn't safe, then no one is.https://64.media.tumblr.com/c4adf90872c0b3c91c8eda330b093458/387a8b25d6c178a2-b0/s400x600/17f566381f6cf93c209d56af0dacdf2c88a7d05c.pnj

I so wish you or anyone didn't need to ask this question, no one straight, gay, lesbian, trans or any other orientation I may have missed should feel safe to come out as you may. I have read your thread for a while and I don't think you are anything other than the woman you are, you just had a slightly different path to getting there.https://64.media.tumblr.com/c4adf90872c0b3c91c8eda330b093458/387a8b25d6c178a2-b0/s400x600/17f566381f6cf93c209d56af0dacdf2c88a7d05c.pnj

Pretty sure you might have been meaning to say, shouldn't feel safe.no one straight, gay, lesbian, trans or any other orientation I may have missed should feel safe to come out as you may.
You are correct sorry damn auto fill insPretty sure you might have been meaning to say, shouldn't feel safe.
And also I just want to add, even tho I've never met Stickygirl IRL, she is a beautiful confident woman that I feel sooo lucky to have met on line. Thankful she continues with this "ask a mtf" thread, it has been a reassuring voice for myself as a young in transition woman
She also writes awesome stories! Go check em out!

@stickygirl I'm assuming more civilized countries don't have these kind of BS defenses?Banning "panic" defenses
Gretchen's awesome. These so-called panic defenses should never have existed.
Not yet. We're not quite as hair-brained and litigious. I think the defence would be laughed at over here - just as it should@stickygirl I'm assuming more civilized countries don't have these kind of BS defenses?
I've not yet read it but Emily Chang's work, "Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boy's Club of Silicon Valley," surely related Musk's antics, misogyny and transphobia, even if not by name.I'll let Wilson speak for herself
“I’m legally recognized as a woman in the state of California,” Wilson wrote. “Obviously Elon can’t say the same because in a ketamine-fueled haze, he’s desperate for attention and validation from an army of degenerate red-pilled incels and pick-mes who are quick to give it to him.”
“Go touch some fucking grass” she concluded.
and
In 2022, Wilson had filed a plea in California to change her name and also denounced her father in the process.
“I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” she was quoted as saying in the court filing.
“I would like to emphasise one thing: I am an adult. I am 20 years old. I am not a child. My life should be defined by my own choices," said Wilson to NBC News.

Not a small amount of folks I talk to are surprised to find out puberty blockers are not a new "experimental" drug specifically used to transition. They tend to have the impression that once taken, the blockers effects are irreversible.So here we go again: science being misinterpreted for political reasons... Hmmm... funny/not funny how this just keeps on coming
UK high court has ruled that the law to ban U18s being prescribed puberty blockers is legal. The law, as usual, is an ass and will lead to greater numbers of suicides in trans youth... then in ten years time, after hundred of needless deaths, they'll back-peddle and say it's "safe" again. It never was declared "unsafe" by Cass or anyone else, it just matched the political whim of politicians who "care about kids".
Fuckers
Not least that...Not a small amount of folks I talk to are surprised to find out puberty blockers are not a new "experimental" drug specifically used to transition. They tend to have the impression that once taken, the blockers effects are irreversible.
And of course these people feel hormone therapy must also be a recent invention.
Not surprisingly to me anyways, men seem the most likely to hold these beliefs, while often women I've chatted with know the background involved.
