Can anyone explain the difference between the androgynous era in the 1980s and 1990s and the trans erra of today? A lot of entertainers in the 80s and 90s looked like trans people today.

I want to hate, but I just need a little more clarity so that I hate right.

Take Prince for example.

Prince played around with gender conventions (clothing, makeup etc) but identified as a male.

Trans people experiencing gender dysphoria believe that their sex does not align with whatever gender norms are attributed to or placed upon their sex from birth (excluding intersex persons, of course)

So basically if I am understanding it correctly Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, David Bowie, Prince, Boy George, Rick James, RuPaul and a bunch of other entertainers and athletes were basically just like trans people except theose 80s and 90s folks still identified as men? :heh:

I don’t know if RuPaul is drag or trans.

Anyway, people have played around with gender norms since forever. American men with their buzzcuts in the early 1960s thought the Beatles looked like girls in 1964 because of their comparatively longer hair

The difference is nothing, except we needed a new boogyman to pin shyt on too.

People rather blame trans people instead of parenting.

No you don't :mjlol:
Sometimes I do. :manny: I want to get on the hate bandwagon like everybody else, but my damn brain won't stop remembering the 80s and the 90s when nikkas was wearing slick backed Gerri curls and poofy silk shirts; or those White boys with big ass hairdos and tight ass leather pants. :dame: I didn't hate that shyt back then. It was just what it was. So I can't figure out why they hate these folks today. As a matter of fact I bet the same people that hate trans people today were walking around with poofy silk shirts and big ass hair back in the day.

If you can distract the masses, you can carry on pillaging and growing rich from your loot
