but, but, tying the left hands of lefty kids to their school desks totally cured them!
(not sure where you're at but that was a 'thing' in Canada back in even the 50's. totally not ch!ld abuse or anything)

The reason there were more trans people appearing, was it was becoming acceptable. We had a Gd Jeopardy long time winner who was trans. People were supporting us, now bigotry is pushing the pendulum back temporarily, however the pendulum will swing back to trans people being even more accepted, and those that were bigots mostly already spoke up so we know who many are now. lol

glad ya don't hide who you are anymore
I think human rights are a pendulum that swings back and forth until it settles, or trembles between back 'n forth but still centered. various progress in various countries obv
agree 100% the pendulum on this hasn't stopped swinging wildly yet in the West, but like rights for women or Black peeps or Native peeps or immigrants or [insert here] the fact that it's swinging I think is overall a good sign
societal change is incremental and the noise of social media where everyone has to have an opinion on everything doesn't help. frustrating, but the truth I think
either way, good for you for having the courage to be you. walk tall
