I only know one personally, and I'm not sure she is true. Basically what happened was he was a little boy and had a little sister born who got all the attention. At like 6 years old, he wanted to pretend to be a girl to get the same attention his sister was getting.
The parents encouraged him, said you wanna be a girl, no problem... so they pushed a 6 year old into wanting to be a girl.
She is now maybe 10 and starting to question it. I don't think children that young really know if they are or not. The parents really pushed it too... rather than letting it go naturally.
TransStar/Dacco Transmission parts doesn't discriminate! lol When I go to the distributor warehouse, one of the secretaries is a trans.. he goes by the name "White Wolf" I don't know why.. a few times my husband went w/his helper who's a lot younger, kinda buff and toned.. the trans liked him!
Yeah, I know a bunch of trans people in person. Some are just friends or friends of friends. Some are women I met through dating apps and they happened to be trans. Some came out as trans while I knew them. It's pretty normal when you know a bunch of people, and your friend circle is not intolerant or hateful. If someone has no trans friends they gotta ask themselves how it happened.
i know a couple of female to male security guards and a male to female works in my local grocery store... my thought on them? i just dont care. to me people can be what they want to be and live their lives as they wish and its not for me to judge
Yeah. I knew quite a few trans people in college, and was friends with some of them. Most people who go to college these days will know at least a few trans people. I didn't think anything of it.
I think the only time I ever have trouble using someone's preferred name is if it's someone that I knew before they came out, and now only know online. One of my college friends came out as a trans woman, and I completely support her, but it also means that the nickname that she had in college, which was pretty much all that I called her, and was a big part of her college persona, is no longer usable, as it incorporated her dead name.
It isn't that I have trouble supporting them. It's just that I have trouble remembering. But if you meet trans people after they're already out, or even if you know them when they come out and you get used to it, it's hard not to realize that they're just normal people.
Huh? I could have sworn I answered this already? Okay, imaginary take two. Yes, I have a best friend who is trans. She came out middle school, and by the start of the following school year, she was unrecognizable as the person she was before. She grew into a gorgeous young woman, probably the best looking one in the group… bicth! But I have stood shoulder to shoulder hit her in those early days, when she wold be picked on, teased, and even discriminated against! But now, she is a stunningly beautiful woman, and watching some of the same guys who teased her back then, falling over their own tongues when she walks down the beach in a skimpy bikini is absolutely beautiful! Good for her, I’ve never seen that much courage in anyone, ever… other that combat veterans. Obviously!
I have met them before but not any that I interact with regularly. To be honest I think they have a mental disorder called gender dysphoria and they need help not to be enabled.
That is not me passing judgement that is me wanting to see them get the help they need
not anymore but i knew people at psych places who were 'trans' and non binary. For the trans people i don't know if they could be defined as real trans people though because one person was 16 and didn't take hormones or anything, and the other one was 13 and did take hormones but suddently decided they weren't trans anymore and stopped them, and the other one was a 15yo non binary lesbian who decided one day to go by he/him pronouns..
Oh wait... whoops. I know one trans person in my real life. I met him in my first composition (writing) class class in college. I messed up your poll. Sorry.
Yes I do I know a few people who are and my daughter has friends who are trying to transition in Middle School. I always find myself having to be quite careful when I am using the terms he or she it's just easier to use they.
Uuuuh bes- I mean... that person... unforunately no. There is no one else I know of that is near me and certainly doesn't live in the same house as me or neighborhood. ouo'
Yep, one of my best friends is MTF, one of my exes is FTM - he came out as a trans man after we broke up, and another one of my friends is FTM. I also have a non-binary friend.
