Growing up in Texas, I knew none until after I came out. But, after I came out, one of my friends I had known pre transition also came out.
I believe I would have transitioned at least 5 years earlier if I had known any trans ppl. I just didn’t know enough about the existence and effects of hrt, vaginoplasty, etc.
Even without knowing any lgbt ppl, I was thankfully still a leftist agnostic ally and not a homophobe.

Lord growing up LGBT+ in Texas must have been tricky. It’s transphobic enough now I dread to think what it was like then
I’m still in my early 20s, 5 years ago wasn’t much different than now. My middle school was in a fairly red area, but my high school was very blue.
Ahhh I see
