    Trans people aren’t sensitive but a good majority of my trans friends back in the early 00’s were genuinely fucking crazy, never figured out what the correlation on that one was.

    Good times though, one group, we would go traipsing around town until one of them got ridiculously hammered and got in a fight. Last I heard of that particular one, she got arrested for throwing a Molotov in someone’s yard for some reason

      Not to project too much onto your friends, but based around my own experiences of being a trans teen/young adult at the time it would not surprise me at all if the ‘fucking crazy’ was PTSD.

      Not ragging on you for framing it like that or anything even if it was from PTSD; I have PTSD and can be fucking crazy sometimes too, lol. Growing up in the 80s and 90s while trans messed with a lot of heads, mine included.

        That’s quite interesting, I’ve always enjoyed learning more about how humans think and why they think certain ways. I will say though this does make sense, though some of the kids who’s parents actually understood, (remember anyone young today, this was a drastically more “under the rug” thing back before 2015ish) and supported them, those were the most messed up ones. To be fair though, that’s probably just due to my town being an absolute anomaly.

        We were known for being kinda… Weird, compared to the surrounding towns
