Same here. I don't have any living GNC role models because I figure there's no point. They'll just abandon womanhood eventually.

I don't even want to meet other GNC women in real life because it would be destructive to my mental health to see them end up calling themselves men.

I'm so sorry to hear you don't have any living GNC role models, worried19.

But maybe I dunno what "GNC" means nowadays? Do you not consider women like Patti Smith, Joan Armatrading, K.D Laing, Tracy Chapman, LP (Laura Pergolizzi) to be GNC?

I had to google some of them. The last three you mentioned I would consider GNC. Probably K.D. Lang is closest to the type of woman I would feel some kind of affinity with, based on presentation.

But I worry that any or all of these women might decide to transition. I realize it's less likely with the ones who are older, but you never know.

I remember seeing kd on tv in the early 90s. My jaw dropped. I did not know you could go on tv and sing with buzzed hair and no makeup. I was so happy.

I interacted with her at the height of her popularity. She seemed the real deal.
