First Trans surgery was Dora Richter, it was almost 100 years ago.

It’s obviously always been a thing. Folks feeling a need to suppress who they are based on societal norms and standards to include treatment from friends and family really sucks. I do get curious about percentages and wonder how long it will take to reach a maturity level to discuss and study those simply out of curiosity and opportunity to learn. Maybe it’s out there and I’m just not familiar. Trans folks are a subset of the population, I don’t know if it’s 5%, 10% or higher and without a default mode of acceptance it’s probably impossible to know. Homosexuals also make up a minority percentage. The families I know who are most accepting seem to have a much higher percentage makeup than what these figures show. I know a couple whose only two kids are trans. Several families that are 50% homosexual. It makes me wonder about influences related to acceptance or potential genetics that could be at play. We learn a lot from researching topics in unexpected ways and we have so much to learn about the brain, development, and influencing factors.
