I feel like something weird happened in regards to common perception of trans people, maybe around the 80s. I mean specifically in America and in popular conception since I know German fascists burned gender research books.
Maybe I'm wrong but it seemed like there was more of like a curiosity about trans people? I'm thinking of mainly newspaper headline or the Ed Wood movie Glen or Glenda. Or how the musician Wendy Carlos was trans in the 70s and everyone seemed cool with her.
Does anyone here know more about this? There was a different vibe with gender nonconformance, like I know there was transphobia and the Stonewall riot happened because of cops arresting trans women, but also it seems like average people in the public didn't care as much as now
It seems like there was more hatred directed toward gay people and now it's flipped.
Could have also been the average uninformed person viewed trans people in an individual lens, as in, one person doing something unique to them. It might have been seen like an odd, curious and interesting thing to be rather than now, where more people have recognized trans people are a fundamental inherent aspect of society. That seems to be the brunt of transphobia, keeping trans people marginal, unaccepted, or dead. Keeping trans people out of society's fabric entirely.
