So we are cleaning up holiday cards and realize I know of 4 trans boys.
So we know 4 families who had a girl transition to a boy. I guess I can understand somewhat about the national attention, if there is really that high number. Does everyone know several families with tran kids? I have no opinion. I’m a little indifferent to the whole thing; I feel in most ways men and women should have similar options though I know sports is a 3rd rail and shared locker rooms. Outside that, it seems pretty innocuous. |

| As far as I know, none. |

| Three. All girl to boy. |

| 2, one in each direction. In both cases, it's definitely not something done lightly or as a fad. |

A husband in the neighborhood is transitioning to a woman. I feel so bad for his/her wife and kids. The kids opted to be homeschooled, I can’t blame them.
A friend has a teen daughter who is transitioning to a male. She’s applying to colleges, I wonder if that makes it easier to gain acceptance to schools? |

A friend of mine had a husband who is trans, and now lives as a woman. Ugliest woman I've ever seen. The worst part was, she divorced him, and had to pay him alimony because he wouldn't work the last decade while they were married despite having an advanced degree and work experience. |

| We know several, and it does seem significantly more prevalent than back my. And, that may be because until 10 days ago, it was OK to be who you are. It was OK for young people to be true to themselves, they didn't have to hide. It is true that many youth killed themselves, were kicked out of their homes, or tried to hide who they really were, rather than admit to themselves, their families amd the world their true selves. |

| I have 5 friends who have children who have transitioned and am completely supportive of them. I don’t understand why MAGAts are so obsessed with this. |

| 5 kids or young adults. It's widespread |

| No minors. A few experimenting with,pronouns. Quite a few going through a non-binary phase. Several switch back by the time they graduate from high school. Teenagers have experimented with identities since forever. Developing sexuality can be weird and disconcerting as you mature, especially for women as they are more likely to be at the receiving end of harassment or assault. |

| None. I keep hearing it’s more prevalent and maybe it is, but nobody I or my kids know have done this (frankly I don’t know any adults like this either.) |

| None in our circles. Which says a lot. You’d think it would be across circles but it is definitely not. |

same. I'm a teacher. Those transitioning are so much happier than they were previously. Why can't we allow this to happen without MAGA and their dirty hands. |

Only one who transitioned at a younger age (early 20s, a friend’s child). And then a co-worker (in their late 30s) who transitioned in the past few years. My child is still elementary school age though, so I imagine I will end up know more younger people who transition as he goes through his teens and 20s.
To be honest, I have struggled with it slightly. I have no negative feelings about it, it’s just that my brain has struggled to make the transition too - to go from calling my co-worker she to calling him he. I messed it up a few times at first and apologized profusely. I still need to actively think about it to keep from messing up. I’m hoping that with more time it will become second nature to me. |
