#poll#trans#oh wow look at that split times really have changed#I went to highschool in the 90s so nooooope#I knew One bi student#who I think was just out to friends but even then people were shitty about it#a guy I went to primary school with was out as gay by highschool but also quit school early on#I didn't meet any out lgb peers until uni#and the first out trans person I met was one of my lecturers#and let me tell you my fellow Computer Science students were NOT great about finding out their one female lecturer was a trans woman#man when is the first time I met an out trans peer I don't even remember#*suddenly overcome by memories of how disgusting the students at my school were any time they encountered anyone who MIGHT be queer*#some made official complaints when a (married and plausibly cishet) teacher said homophobia is bad#so anyway I didn't come out until I was 30
