We went to school then worked on farms after school. The football players got in shape by bucking bales all summer. I irrigated mostly. Transgenders and such would have gotten the hell beat out of them.
I remember my brother used to work on the farms over the summer. And he was on the football team. Those were the days when guys didn't shy away from physical labor and took it as a badge of honor.
We had one or two transgender kids at my high school in the 90s, but they were outcasts. It was not trendy, but it was there.
I read a good comment recently that "transgender" is a title that was made up to normalize the behavior. The historical term was "transvestite." But you are a hater if you use the real terms. The psychology books used to call it Gender Dysphoria and it was something that required treatment.
I clearly remembering being indoctrinated with the difference between "gender" and "sex" in 5th grade public school in the early 90s. But then friends were still talking about transvestites in college at the end of the 90s/early 00s, and I don't think anyone thought of it as a permanent condition. I can confirm that "transgender" is quite new, but they've been working these ideas in slowly for a long time.
