As someone who grew up as an "effeminate boy" in the 90s and knew of nothing "queer" outside of the basic LGB and the full MtF and FtM versions of T, seeing this kind of talk in like actual articles is still so wild. I still feel like I'm in some kind of bizzaro world. I didn't figure out nonbinary was a thing you could even be until my mid twenties.
Like I go from spending my entire childhood getting bullied and beaten and told to "man up" and that I'm too much of a "girly boy" who should have just been a girl until I hit puberty and my build more resembles a refrigerator cosplaying Bigfoot and most of the bullies become too scared to find out if I know how to throw a punch. To now there's people straight up just saying that boys should be allowed to be "effeminate" without being told they're actually just trans girls? Like I'm happy don't get me wrong, but this feels so strange y'know? If you'd have told 12 year old me about this, they'd have thought you were talking about some far off fantasy world that could never happen. And it's still so rough out here for us!
