AYRT

Same, the anon we're talking about seems... pretty young and not aware of a lot of stuff in the 90s-00s that preceded GG.

AYRT Yeah, they seem to be in the 18-24 range at the very least. (I'm not much older than that, to be fair.) I have limited scope of media too but as a teen starved for LGBT representation, I was well aware of trans characters that existed when I was in high school.

I'm also trans and almost 40 and yeah, there were trans characters here and there back then, but it really wasn't understood in the way that it is today and often the way their transness was presented in canon, while accurate at the time for some trans people, made it very easy for people who were not so familiar with the concept of trans (like me, at the time!) to read them as just crossdressers.

It was complicated, but I have no problem believing anyone who says they didn't understand "trans" back when GG was popular. Because I didn't, and I turned out to be trans!

SA And that's up to and including characters who called themselves the gender they were. A trans woman calling herself a woman was easy to read as "Oh, he wants to be a woman, that's cute, good for him!" but still be thought of as a man, because again, the understanding that that is literally just what trans is was just not a widespread thing.
