Gender nonconformists are no longer told they are actually a terrible mistake and we’re born in the wrong body.

Genuinely dysphoric adults get intensive treatment to alleviate symptoms without the general public being expected to play a part in it. Transwomen are understood as simply another way for males to be not as females.

People stop talking about gender like it’s important and not arbitrary silliness.

Seriously! I used to feel like it was just the conservatives who made us feel like this (especially as kids), but now it feels like it’s both sides. One wants you to conform to the roles for you sex and the other wants you to change how you identify so you can conform to that (and possibly change your body too). I was also sex dysphoric as a child, but a boy could be feminine like I was and not feel that way and he shouldn’t be pushed to change himself (same for a masculine girl).

Yessss!! Honestly where I live it’s acceptable for a girl to be masculine but gods help you if you’re a feminine boy.
Got a toddler nephew who doesn’t like to be dirty and loves his long hair and SIL is already having to defend buying him a tshirt from the girls section or him being afraid of bees from the conservative side of the family. Now the progressive side is just as unaccepting. Who’s he gonna turn to when he’s older?

Sex dysphoria on top of that mess sounds like a nightmare. Kids are gonna have it rough.
