re: #423 goddamnedfrank

These weirdo reveal ceremonies seem like they’re entirely an oppositional reaction to the gaining awareness of trans equality. I mean, does anybody else recall this kind of bullshit before a couple years ago?

Part of it was it used to be not so common to find out, I think?

Out of my friends, a few have found out ahead of time. No one has done the stupid party thing. Of those who’ve found out, not everyone has shared the info anyway.

My parents chose the surprise route for the first two but did cave on the third because Mom wanted to know if she needed to go buy “boy” type clothes. (I think she would have only really cared when it came to formal stuff, because I’m pretty sure there would have otherwise still been a lot of recycling going on.)
