Deducation is an unfortunate misspelling when criticising someone’s thought process.

I mean I am not for one second surprised that there is an increase in openly trans people now there is more open discussion and acceptance.

Turns out when you aren’t completely ridiculed or even assaulted for simply being who you are inside you’ll have more people express who they are

Trans kids now days have positive depictions of trans people that show they can be trans and live a happy life.

When I was kid if you saw a trans character it was normally a character to be ridiculed.

Hell the first trans character I saw was in ace Ventura where everyone vomits when they find out she is trans.

Funny how there are more left handed kids these days now that they don't get caned for it.
