Trans clinics opened in the 70s in the US, but speaking as an older trans person I didn't start seeing the T being put in the alphabet soup till after I transitioned. So like in the 2000s at my uni the LGB club was, well, just the LGB.
>>41995072> After gay marriage was legalized2001????
>>41994577dude trannies just want to pass and the exceptions are not worth staying around>yeah I'm with the guild of human impersonators nice to meet you
>>41994577you suck at lit review btwlots of historical and cross-cultural examples of gender variance, but really only started to be recognised as we would consider the concept of "transgender" with the Psychopathia sexualis in 1886 which included references to cross gender behaviour as sexual disorderthen we started to see the early attempts of gender affirming health care in the early 20th century, most notably with Magnus Hirschfeld in germany, but of course most of his work was destroyed by the Nazis. It was later in the mid 20th century with the work of clinicans such as Harry Benejamin do we start to see the term "Transsexual" being used and gender affirming healthcare being provided. There are documentaries about the Compton town Riots you can watch you can see trans women from the sixties talk about their response to Harry Benjamin's work at the time and how they felt "understood" by the label.then we have this back and forth a bit between "Gender clinics for treatment!" and "gender clinics are an abomination" and its not really until the early internet age where the trans community really starts to organise. Transgender as a term was initially used by this one activist who wanted to differentiate herself from transsexual as term, but through the werid amorphous way language works transgender somehow became an umbrella term and transsexual became considered taboo (lgbt subcultures have this annoying habit of demonising words that were considered fine previously)So transgender as a word became commonly used in the late 2000s early 2010s. but the modern western understanding of what a "transsexual" is has roots back to the late 19th early 20th century, while gender variance is just a thing that happens cross culturallymost of this was typed from memory but trans literature is pretty much its own subfield with many books about it. Once again I want to state that you are fucking terrible at lit review
>>41994577about 2015, that's when Stonewall added the Tit's all very new and been retconned to fuck
>>41995245reminder that for nearly all the last 100 years ago, they were called STRAIGHT CROSSDRESSERS and TRANSVESTITESnow they're larping as puppygirls and transbians and whatever the fuck, but they're just crossdressers on mones
>>41995316take your meds retard
its a way to divide and conquer gays by asking gays to affirm that a man in a dress can be a lesbian and a woman with short hair can be a gay manthey are shit testing you and encourage the mass castration of homosexuals
>>41997606Or maybe it's just more accessible acceptable known
>>41995316the old line between TV and TS was SRS, but it was kind of stupid because I saw one chart where they had TV's who lived as women and took estrogen and TS's who might want SRS but don't have enough dysphoria to justify the surgery, so I can see why they just gave up on it.Nowadays it seems like the term is transgender to apply to anyone who full times it and seeks medical attention, and people who just do it as a hobby kind of just call themselves whatever ("drag queen", "femboy", "trap" come to mind)
>>41998405my only gripe with the current trans thing is that straight men who transition seem to be taking a much bigger gamble than guys who are into men (same for FTM's), so maybe a greater level of caution should be encouraged for those people
>>41998416Idk has anyone else noticed this? It seems like bisexual or straight trannies generally are happier with it than trans lesbians. Its not even a passing thing it just seems like they can accept the results. Is it just me?
>>41995316>now they're larping as puppygirls and transbians and whatever the fuckbasedbasedbasedbased, I am glad we are building a culture and are dominating the tech and fintech fields
>>41998425bisexual people (not just trannies) who don't repress their sexuality are generally happierbut then again, this is true for all who don't repress themselves so there's that
>>41998787>I am glad we are building a culture and are dominatingalways have done
