re: Do you know anyone who is trans?

One was an older, now dead relative. She always just said she should have been born a boy and went by a man version of her name, but back then people just kind of had nicknames they would go by so it wasn't a big deal or anything publicly as far as I know. I don't believe she would have had any kind of surgery, taken drugs, or anything else and probably would have thought the whole trans movement was absurd. She wore women's clothes and was a seemingly very happy woman, just felt like she should have been a boy.

The other is someone I went to school with. Seemed fairly smart, but grew up in a rough home. Went girl to boy. Not sure if just flat chested or if she did hormones/went under the knife.
