This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

One of the few anon stories that seems plausible

Being queer in HS was so fucking fun.

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.

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.

If you don't mind me asking, when were you in high school?

I was in high school in the late 2010s, in a red county in a red state, and there were a few openly queer ppl in my grade who were never bullied throughout high school.

I think it was because allies outnumbered the homophobes/transphobes and bullies only punch down, not up.

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 people without disclosing it?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

Edit: these guys probably weren't referring to dating though- many trans women are unlikely to out themselves at a public bar to every guy that hits on them

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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...

I'll change the question
