Back when I was a teen, I was definitely fairly trans. Though I hadn't a clue that such a thing existed.
I recall things like standing in front of a full length mirror with my boy parts tucked back between my legs. And trying to tape things back inside for a smooth front. Never could get the tape to hold though...
Then I found a book mom had been reading. I read it. And it was my introduction to transexuality. It was also why I didn't even *think* about it for a number of years afterwards.
The book? Myra Breckenridge by Gore Vidal.
A greater disservice to the trans community is hard to find.
