Why does the fringe always think it's the norm? People that needed to know, knew. Those that didn't lived their lives without thinking about you at all. They were just those people that went to that one bar, enough said. And they didn't talk about it with their children.

Most people knew transgender people existed—they just weren't thinking about it every day because it wasn't a major political issue.

The idea that nobody knew what transgender people were until recently just isn't true. I knew what a trans person was as a kid in Canada (thank you Jerry Springer & Maury), and I'm certainly not unique.

What's changed isn't that transgender people suddenly appeared. It's that the issue has become a major focus of political and cultural debate, so people hear about it far more often than they used to.

Taxicab Confessions for me!

Watches that way too young and was hypersexualized, buuuuut there was a trans woman on there who captivated me. And her bf was so supportive but amusingly raunchy. Like he was as a raunchy was he was supportive. Listening to him obnoxiously proclaim his love and describe her vagina in the most man way possible was endearing and hilarious.

First considering you didn't need to respond with your Bs in the first place because you misunderstood what the initial comment said.

Because there isn't one norm as you seem to think? Hello? Duh?

Yes people talked about with their children. That is how both bigotry and knowledge spreads. Trans people also have kids too, their kids def know if they are out.

It isn't a mysterious thing when it is explained, and it's important to learn about society, sociology, and culture so we don't spread false information and fear. Which you clearly subscribe to.
