re: Have you ever actually met a transgender person?

My son had a child in his class in Pre-K 4 whose mom would dress him up as Elsa for story book character day. Let’s call him “Peter”. The class ended Pre-K early for Covid that year.

When they returned the next year, this child had longer hair and wanted to be called “Julie”. Used the girls bathroom and had all privileges of a girl. My 5 year old was not in his class the following year for Kindergarten and due to Covid restrictions, didn’t not interact with him. It wasn’t until 2nd grade they were in the same class again and my son’s teacher tells me that my child walked up to the kid and said “What happened to Peter? Did you just wake up one morning and decide you were a girl?”

I think that’s a pretty reasonable response for a 7 year old. Needless to say, Peter’s parents moved to a state that supported hormone therapy for children of that age so he is no longer in their school.

So yes, we have met a trans person.

Maybe? Seen dudes dressed like women, or at least what they picture a woman as looking like. I have no idea if they had their junk lopped off or not.

Yes and it was an extremely confusing situation, not like the stereotypical ones you hear about. This dude was a badass snowboarder, rock climber, great personality, genuinely fun to be around. But had long hair, painted nails, and wore pretty earrings. And a light coat of make up, not drag queen-esque, just enough that you would notice. And of course wanted to be referred to as “she”.


Almost like he just woke up one day and thought it would be fun to play a girl for the day.

Did he look like this??

So your niece is now a lesbian?

I find this fascinating, I've read articles where this has happened, one partner transitions, and I always think, "So the other person is just ok with becoming gay?"

Over the years I have met several in the restaurant world that I oversee. Every one of them were terminated within a couple months for causing drama or melting down during stressful shifts. They can’t mentally strive because of their mental illness.

Anybody at LSU law school around 1988-1990? I seem to remember a married couple where the husband came out as trans-woman and the wife decided she was a lesbian so they stayed together. This happened right before they finished school the husband/trans-woman wanted LSU to use his woman name on his diploma and LSU refused. quite the scandal.

Yes a few. First one I met/came across was when I was like in Jr high. Was a mgr at a store we would go too. Ugly freaking dude chick.

My next door neighbor has a 17 year old daughter on male hormones. She was cute. Now, she's not.

It's sad.

So you’re telling me that the woman pretending to be a man wasn’t a stable upstanding member of society? Well now I’ve heard it all.
