I feel that a lot actually. I grew up in the 80s and 90s, transitioning as a kid would’ve been outright impossible back then unless my parents would’ve moved the entire family to the Netherlands or smth. That was the only place where that was a possibility back then. And i seriously struggle to think of a way i could’ve dealt with knowing that i was trans in the early 00s. Like, i could see this working out in my favor if we’re talking some time travel scenario where i go back knowing all that i know rn, but if i had to navigate the nightmare levels of medical gatekeeping that existed back then on my own, without prior knowledge, at a time where my sexuality automatically made me inelligible from receiving any gender affirming care, my life would’ve just been constant unsolveable dysphoria with no way out.
Trans healthcare before informed consent was commonplace was soooo fucked. I’m glad my first therapist was willing to lie about “Real Life Experience” for me.
Informed consent still isn’t commonplace outside of the US and Canada, btw. I still had to get letters from a psychologist to access any gender affirming care, the barriers are just lower now.
Same, I knew I was different, found out from the crying game basically…that similar people to me existed then spent the rest of the 90s trying to avoid the transphobia
I’ve seen you mention it a few times, what is the crying game?
It’s a bad 90s movie that got way too much traction and sparked a ton of transphobia through the 90s.
It’s a prime example of a shock twist surprise transgender reveal, plenty of them going back… Ace Ventura parodies it.
