I’m reading a lot of folks transitioning in the media, but I have never actually met anybody who has done that. Maybe they look exactly like a man/woman and I can’t tell?
well they wouldnt tell you unless you knew them well enough because they are trying to pass I suppose
I dont know of anyone in my circle of friends but do know of relatives of friends, and its maybe a bit more talked about these days.
I think people are having more gender dysphoria these days and there are so many 'options' that are adding to the confusion, I also think people are messing with genetics, with test tube babies, IVF etc.
Theres always been pressure to be the 'perfect' specimen of whatever gender and I guess people find it hard to live up to.
People joke about peoples appearances never thinking maybe they are taking it seriously esp if they are children. Ive had boys tell girls they look like boys they can be really mean about it
I also think a lot of boys are secretly intrgued about what its like to be a girl, and if they are showing any weakness or sensitivity, thats immediately seen as a girl thing.
But girls are often told to toughen up to and be like one of the boys cos they have to be to survive.
