Are good. And accepting the weird or different was the way to go.

Behold this meme I made to mock my pal

He claimed that in the downfall of any society it was recorded that trans people became more prevalent. Obviously that’s bs but after some prodding at why he thought that could be true, he admitted he is only male due to moral reasons.

I think that att the core its the "ew!" factor combined with "i would love this but I'm too closeted and if I cannot have fun, nobody can" which is then used and abused by savvy politicians who need a scape goat for people to trample to death while they secretly steal the people blind.

I could be mistaken , though

I think it's really just as simple as they are different and people just don't like things that are different. Compounding the fact is a lot of people don't have any first hand experience interacting with a trans person and so believe what theyre told through their favorite media source.

Actually I don't know anybody who hates trans people. Tbf it's a pretty dull subject.

I want to know this too. Also why I was raised to believe that British Asians would come up the hill and storm our white middle class village, even though this somehow still hasn’t happened over thirty years on.
