She says so because I think that just as we laugh at the Susan’s hons of yester-year and feel pity for the lateshits of today like “damn I’m sorry for that girl look at that philtrum it must be hard to look like that”, that youngshits of tomorrow who’ll get HRT so early the whole concept of transitioning post-puberty will seem alien to them will laugh at us. Discuss. Is she right?

    There’s an important difference between recognizing that things are better / easier now, and ridiculing people who transitioned in a less supportive environment, particularly for their appearance. The latter would seem like a pretty bad attitude to me; perhaps your comments come across with a nuance that you didn’t intend?

    Hopefully future generations will be more understanding and look at us with sympathy and compassion rather than mockery.
