Trans before

I saw something recently that said basically the person never saw a trans kid growing up, lets look at this briefly as I knew several--imagine that.
Male to Female (MTF) trans kids in the 70's weren't allowed to express themselves as they wanted to. Any amount of effeminate behavior was quickly pounced upon by let's call them Alpha types. We were routinely bullied, beaten, kicked, called sissies, & tortured in the restroom. There is a massive reason many teen & pre-teen boys committed suicide in the 70's & 80's, and many of them were LGBT but society would not allow us to be who we are so many (like myself) tried to or did exit this world instead of continuing to be beaten at both home & in society. Marsha P. Johnson--a trans woman--had only thrown the brick that started Stonewall on June 28, 1969 after-all, so there were no LGBT rights yet--we've changed a lot in the 54 years since.
Female to Male (FTM), let's be honest usually they were just called "Tomboys," and they were almost celebrated. They could even be friends with guys that had similar interests. Even now, most FTM adults can blend in as short guys and no one notices--your mileage may vary on this one.
Adult MTF have some issues, beard shadow, deeper voice, taller, broader shouldered, etc. Some just don't blend well, or have jobs that would get them killed if they tried to be the woman inside.
Many trans persons are intersexed, meaning they have the opposite chromosomes like an XY woman or an XX male, they may have an ovary & testicle. They may have an un-erupted vaginal canal, or a blind vagina with an enlarged clitoris that appears to be a penis.
Many will say "God only made man and woman" really?? Then how do we explain intersex persons?
I'm not for massive life altering surgical procedures for minors, but let their curiosity be explored does it hurt to let a boy wear a dress any more than a girl to wear pants?
Why is it anyone's business that we have to expressly forbid half the clothing to half the population? Because it allows us to "know" what is between their legs? Talk about an invasion of privacy!
It's time we as a people realize that everyone has a right to be happy with themselves and not dead because of your personal beliefs.
And to show a dress does not hurt a boy, this is President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as a child in 1884 just 138 years ago, not even a hundred years before Stonewall.
