what did you know and when did you know it?

Brilliant article here. The tide is definitely turning:

British Rowing were pretty cowardly on this and only changes their tune after some pretty hard campaigning. They eventually surveyed their members on the issue although they necer released the results despite various leaks suggesting it was 90% plus in favour of banning transwomen from the women's category. They eventually changed their policy but had to be dragged over the line. As you say nobody actually believed the reduced testosterone position but everyone was terrified of social media pile ons and being labelled transphobic.

Thanks for posting this OP

And they're being handed acting jobs a woman could have had.

There are far fewer parts for older women (compared to men and young women) and even fewer parts for women who are taller and more heavily built than average. Those are the parts that go to men who say they're women and it's so unfair.

I presume you mean "instead of each year group having a bunch of emo kids hanging out, by 20xx it was a bunch of "trans" kids." To what extent would you be able to say that the same kids that were emos would have been trans if born 10 years later, and the trans kids would vice versa have been emos if born earlier?

Were there any groups which existed at the cusp and literally changed from trans to emo?

Clearly there are always people who dress "normally", some towards the geekier or squarer end of the normal scale, and some towards the more fashionable and well dressed end. And there are always kids who choose to be part of a tribe that dresses a bit, or very, different (I was one, not an extreme version, but I was one).

I wonder how much of the teenage / social contagion end of this is nothing more than (1) the sort of kids who naturally wants to be part of an "alternative" tribe, plus (2) the death of significant cultural movements within music that would form the basis of most of those tribes? Kids subconsciously needing to be part of something different AND wanting to show that difference by the way they dress, and trans being the only outlet?

Literally emo kids changed to trans kids overnight. Non-binary if they were less extreme. 2015 seemed to be the tipping point. One girl has since undergone extensive surgery, it’s really sad, her health is very poor.
