r/honesttransgender had the most sane post of the last 24 hours and it was deleted by the moderators: "Maybe it's too late, and this is what the trans movement has become, and this is how it ends."

John Money was the beginning of it. It's no surprise to me that under his care, two adults died from suicide after he experimented on them, just like 41 percent do today. It never caught on until fairly recently. There were always trannies, but they were truly marginalized back then and were out of the spotlight.

They weren't adults when he was doing his pedo incest experiments.

In some ways they were probably more accepted. There were positive representations of transexuals in the media. I remember loving 'Too Wong Foo Thanks For Everything Julie Newmar'. Now those movies couldn't get made today because the actors identify as men. I encountered transexual men in the office and in public and you were just quietly respectful. Yeah it's a bit funny, and they're a bit sad, but they weren't imposing themselves on anyone so everyone just kinda minded their own business. Nowadays most of the trans people I see look like they're spoiling for a fight, or watch way too much porn.
