As a trans kid on the "early" (early-2000s) Internet, Lynn Conway and Wendy Carlos were the first trans people I was aware of who were not movie jokes or villains. I owe a lot to the handful of trans folks who were among the first people to have a web presence at all.
- finite_depth 3y agoNo kidding. It's a shame so many of that "old guard" are married to some...pretty outdated ideas of what being trans is, but they still had to fight a lot of shit we don't.
- jacquesm 3y agoNobody's perfect. if they hadn't had those fights then you'd be having more of them. Besides, your ideas are most likely going to be looked at as pretty outdated by the generations that follow, that's pretty much the expected thing.
