    Trans people seem to share many of my interests. Programming, Linux, hating fascists and billionaires. I only have love for them.

        My experience is that they tend to be into gardening and horticulture. And fine art. And death metal.

    Ngl, there’s still plenty of assholes in the current crop of under 30s and under 20s.

    But, yeah, there’s a lot more of this kind of acceptance and decency. It’s a beautiful thing to see. I got to see a similar wave of change back in the nineties with gay people, men in specific, where the millennials were essentially defaulting to acceptance or outright active support. For my generation, we had a longer road to divest ourselves of outdated thinking, so watching acceptance spread was a different experience than watching the next generation just grow up without as much baggage.

    Again, no generation has ever, or will ever, be a monolith of bottled belief. But it does seem like the curve of decency on average is looking really damn good right now.

      No, it’s all there. The “we” is the parents. They have a son. The dress was pre-transition. So if they have a son now, before he transitioned he would’ve been their daughter. It was the dress she wore before transitioning to a man. Because the dress belonged to a Trans man, the gen z recipient acknowledged that she’ll be the first “girl” to wear the dress therefore seeing it as “new” in a way.

    The kids are still dumb?

    Even if you’re being PC as can be; it was PRE transition dress. She’ll be the 2nd girl to wear it. The first one’s… dead.

      trans people are born their gender. There is a huge difference between cis people and trans people before transitioning with the same assigned gender at birth. Before they realize they are trans, they act as their gender, but convinced they are their assigned gender at birth so they try to do things they perceive as respecting that gender.

      this is from my own experience and other trans people i have seen, so it probably doesnt apply to every trans person ever, but i dont think its that big of an assumption for a child to make

      The idea is that they were always their identified gender even before they realized it or were comfortable saying it publicly. I get the sense from this post that you are tolerant, but not entirely informed. (Which is okay! When understanding stops being a process is when it stops being understanding.)

        I don’t think someone who says “even if you’re being PC” is a tolerant person?

      … Unless he transitioned before going to prom? Or maybe considers himself as always having been male before formally transitioning?

      She was trying to be kind and inclusive. No need to grumpily look down on her because “uhm actually”.

        I was reading it as, “now this dress has the capacity to have had boy cooties on it” which I would have thought, in my limited frame of reference, that would make the dress more gross and perhaps at the very least less desirable for those who are inquiring enough to care about “who has worn this before me”. but I guess if you think about it from the perspective of pulling it off, wearing it well and it fitting their personal taste well for the “first time for that dress”, for whatever that’s worth could be the other interpretation which could reasonably be something I could see someone being excited about

      They were still themselves before they started transitioning, that part doesn’t change. They were always a boy if that’s what they’ve come to understand they are as part of transitioning.
