Huh…. Weird. And here I am, having grown up with an aunt who always wanted to be a man, and to be honest, I never questioned it. I got told as a kid that he felt he was born in the wrong body, so I just went with it. I never had the urge to call him a trans-woman or anything, not even as a teen. Might be good to get rid of that trans thing.

We learn whatever we're taught, and many people were taught that people who are different should do whatever it takes to be "normal".

Those people hide their true self and ridicule/attack others so they must do the same.

Fortunately, there are LESS people teaching that now. The kids I interact with at work give a lot of hope for the future.
