Quentin that's interesting
two years is what my friend's friend was told! Interestingly when the one having the op told her mum, the mum said she felt the same way herself but in her day, transgender wasn't a thing.
I think it's a shame because effectively what friend's friend is doing is just transgender with top surgery - which is aggressive - and dressing like me, no dresses or skirts ever, and changing her pronouns. I find it extraordinary that anyone volunteers for stuff like surgery so arguably no different than someone having cosmetic surgery, but i don't know...
they started off with "call me he" then moved to "they" and I just wondered if they are rethinking the whole thing. I also was told by our mutual friends that she's very childfree - like me, I mean absolutely no way in hell would we ever have had children - and I worry slightly that she thinks this has something to do with her feelings and that womenz are supposed to coo over babies etc or that not wanting children makes us weird.
I do think that in a generation where many people who couldn't have children now can, if you say you don't want them you are considered much more weird than if you said that 20 years ago. Some of my parents' friends have agreed with this too.
