I agree.
Can’t we just go back to the 90’s and be done with it.
Preferably around 95′ – 96′ when Blur V’s Oasis was at its peak.
Thank you.
That was because people treated it for what it was. A group of people who had gender dysmorphia. Now we’ve got a group of bullies who want to find an excuse to be bigoted.
Probably because the trans activists weren’t pushing it as hard back then. They’ve pretty much ruined it for real trans people.
I think at that time people were unaware trans people existed.
Cross dressers and drag acts yes, but those were normally behind closed doors or private clubs.
I had two third hand accounts of trans men in those years, one in the paper where they were painted more as a predatory lesbian who wanted straight women.
The other was a guy on a course my mum was on who, on the last week, showed up as a woman. The guys were not sure at first if a woman had been in the gents, or if a young guy wanted to be a woman and pulled it off well. Turns out they were born a woman and something happened between class that they “gave up on the idea” I didn’t get the full picture as my mum didn’t have the full picture.
So in film and TV it would just be a character meets a cross dresser not a trans woman (save for the Crying Game)
See trainspotting for the trans panic side and crocodile Dundee for it’s played for laughs. Crying game cast a woman and I never heard of sleep away camp and the end till the film was ages old, but that was a nut job aunt at the root of it.
I was born in 1980. There were trans people and drag artists in the city I grew up in. Nobody gave a shit. Somewhere around the mid-noughties radical activists started screaming about how all straight people despise anything different to them, and everything became polarised. Shame really.
The anti trans bigots probably didn’t even know trans people existed in the 90s.
It really does feel like society has been seriously regressing over the last 10 years and its just depressing to see
I think us “gender criticals” would be very happy to go back to how things were in the 90s in terms of trans issues as well.
wasnt it more trans medicalist policies then vs trans gender policies today?
It’s not a coincidence. Attacking the most vulnerable in society – sex workers, trans people, migrants etc is a starting point on a well worn path. Up next are the gay community, those with disabilities, including autism and the rights of women (abortion, contraception, the right to vote). Then it’s healthcare, the media, the judiciary and the electoral system. Most of this is already happening in the US and will be here shortly.
What won’t be attacked is wealth inequality, the obscenely rich and the concentration of power in the hands of the very few. The 90s, in retrospect, were close to idyllic.
Yeah because the internet didn’t exist and people didn’t get bombarded by the loud crazy minorities opinion.
That is largely because hardly any fucker had heard of it or encountered (knowingly) a trans person. Other aspects of LGBT+ rights were much more lacking, gay marriage for example wasn’t even a thought for any serious party and “gay” was a common term for anything bad, eg “I’ve got detention that’s gay”
