As we know the period from the mid 10s to early 20s has been described as “woke 1” and is apparently “over”.
When I was at secondary school in the 2010s, there were four trans kids in my year group (3 FTMs and one mtf) the one mtf was autistic and in foster care. I was always nice to them and kept my views to myself but I’m wondering what’s going on with them now, they’ve completely dropped off the radar. None of them have social media accounts and no one else I went to school with had heard from them.

My daughter has just entered year 5 and doesn’t know any trans kids or even what one is, my neighbours teenage children don’t know any either and they’re the age I was when four classmates transitioned.

I know there’s a lot of teachers on mumsnet would this be your experience too?

Ive tried googling this but everyone seems to have moved on from it I think there may be a forgotten generation who’s lives have been ruined

I remember the moving statues phenomenon in Ireland. It wasn’t mostly teenagers, it was all sorts of fools, my aunt included. I think the statues sometimes cried too. We went to see one and saw no movement but my aunt was looking at the same thing and said it moved.

My friend was a little boy and was adamant it moved too. A kid of about 7 kneeling and staring in one spot for hours, of course it eventually 'moved'!
