Transing ChildrenDo you think if older GNC men & women talked to younger GNC kids/teens, this would help combat the whole "Trans Kids" situation?

Yes, I think this is why the trans fad isn't as big of a thing in my neck of the woods. Not even just talking to younger GNC kids, but simply existing as happy healthy GNC adults seems to do wonders. My hometown has been gay friendly, and full of successful gay and lesbian GNC people for decades. Many of them are wealthy boomers. I'm not saying that in a negative way, LGB boomers have seem some shit and are some of the strongest people around. I think this is part of the reason why young butch girls & women in my area aren't binding or lining up to get their breasts removed.

That's wonderful to hear and so true, if there is positive example of older GNC Gays and lesbians, it just sets a postitive example that being GNC doesn't have to ruin your life and you can still find success and happiness without damaging your body. Though you what you said here

What about the GNC men? If there are any I mean

Oh yeah, there are probably even more GNC men than women. There are still a couple of trans people here and there, but there are far more GNC guys who are happy being regular gay (and sometimes feminine straight) guys. I think it's because gay men are very out and proud of who they are in this area.

I know you probably can't say where you live for privacy reasons, but damn, I want to move there. It would be great to be in an environment where GNC adults of both sexes are such a common sight.

I wish everyone else could live in a place like that too. It's a pretty popular beach town in the mid-Atlantic USA, and even a lot of the tourist web guides are geared towards gay and lesbian people. It's super kid-friendly too, which is the icing on the cake in my opinion.
