    If you don’t mind me asking, when were you in high school?

    I was in high school in the late 2010s, in a red county in a red state, and there were a few openly queer ppl in my grade who were never bullied throughout high school.

    I think it was because allies outnumbered the homophobes/transphobes and bullies only punch down, not up.

      I was in high school in the late 00s early 10s and I remember guys in the locker room talking about how they’d murder a trans woman if one “tricked them”. Around that point the only reason I didn’t realize I was a trans woman was that I really didn’t want to realize it.
