My mum knew (as in said "hello" to in the street occasionally) a few trans women when I was a kid. She just used to find them funny and that worked out just as well in the long term.

How does that feel to be called "funny" by yer mum?

The thing is that in the past transexuals were expected to have a thick skin and a good sense of humour about themselves because the doctors knew they would need it to survive. My mum liked them because they could talk endlessly and so could she. Their were no out trannys who weren't confident and sociable back then.

While I was taunting you, that's actually a good point. I didn't think about the difference in past trannys attitudes vs today's.

Today's aren't even for real. Just like liberals always do they hijacked a vulnerable group of people so they could "advocate" for them and benefit themselves from it. When this visibility is doing far more harm than good. And of course the real ones are now demonized as transphobes for not wanting to scream TRANS PRIDE UWU everywhere they go. Even wanting to pass or take hormones is starting to be considered transphobic.
