I was in my countries equivalent in the late '00s and early '10s, and it … really wasn’t. So I’d say that’s rather time and place dependent.

Being queer in HS was so fucking fun.

That’s fair I graduated in 06 on a military base in England. Partly why it was so fun cause the faculty had no clue what to do with me.

Unless you go to a Christian high school, then it sucks

I can only imagine. Got any stories for us?

Not anything super interesting at mine, basically everyone there was a Christian nationalist Fox News Republican and I got sick of being exclusively around people who were constantly promoting stuff that would criminalize and erase people like myself and didn’t give a shit about anyone outside of their immediate community. For LGB it was a “love the sinner hate the sin” mindset though so it could have been a lot worse (although it’s still considered basically the worst sin you can possibly commit aside from murder). For T though the environment was more hostile, I heard there was one person who came out as trans and was quickly expelled. Aside from that they taught stupid shit like dinosaurs still exist and the government is hiding them from us and dragons exist as well. Glad to be out of that shithole.

Glad you got it friend. Thanks for sharing. I’m sure I would have had a harder time if I went to high school in America

Yeah, I always had trouble with known adulterers in my church tut tutting about homosexuality. It’s the same rule!

I was in high school in the late 00s early 10s and I remember guys in the locker room talking about how they’d murder a trans woman if one “tricked them”. Around that point the only reason I didn’t realize I was a trans woman was that I really didn’t want to realize it.

Do trans women date straight guys without disclosing it?

If they’re pre/non-op, it’s certainly wise to, though I don’t see any reason to do so if they’re post-op

saying “straight guys” here gives me the implication that you think it isn’t straight for a cis guy to date a trans gal, which is transphobic. hoping that’s just me reading it wrong or you expressing it wrong though.
to answer the question at hand though none of my trans friends would want to date someone who “would murder them if they ‘tricked them’”
maybe there are a few trans people interested in tricking transphobes into having sex with them but that sounds extremely dangerous per that comment before…
