"where were all the trans people before?"

We hid. And if we didn't hide, we died.
- we were deemed clinically insane.
- we we imprisoned.
- we were put in institutions.
- we were forcibly medically castrated.
- we were tortured with electric shocks.
- we were lobotomized.
- we were hunted down and killed.
- our murderers claimed "panic" and were set free.
- many of us chose the "easy way out" instead.

Helping trans people exist is good, actually.

I already went through this with gay people. (Took me some time to grow up on that topic.) Society stopped persecuting them, and suddenly "everyone" was gay. And I was like, this is ridiculous, they must be imagining it.

Eventually I figured it out. Just like you said.

And these days, I sometimes find myself thinking, "Come on. All these people are trans?"

And then I think, "Yes. Always have been. I just know it now."
