Consider yourself lucky. It's pretty sad. I hear about it from the parents & none of them are happy about it, of course. They are all from the same circle of friends who believe in the vax & all the things the left legacy media says, so I've been sort of avoiding them in general these days. Basically, I just see them at funerals, but they are clearly on the up tick in those circles.
One in particular, I was probably the closest unrelated adult to her when she was very little. Totally adorable in the way that only girls are, etc. At the receiving of her father's funeral, I was talking to her sister when saw her for the 1st time in maybe 20 years & gasped. Her sister said: "You'll get used to it"
I never will though, because I want to honor who she really is without caving in to this destructive new trend going around that she got sucked into. She basically looked like a very ugly woman. But she's still the little girl I knew & so we talked for quite a bit, actually. I always addressed her by her real name & pronoun & was never corrected. We hugged & that was it. Her it-friend (IDK what to call it, not a boyfriend & not a girlfriend) but her it-friend kept trying to be part of the conversation but I just ignored it. (From talking to her mother in the past I figured out that it was her enabler) I feel good about my interaction. I'm happy I stood my ground (it had, of course, run through my mind beforehand - I know I have to stand my ground and address her by her real self - because that's the only morally correct thing to do - even if it would make a scene, even if I was ushered out of the funeral, I was planning to stand my ground) It's the right thing to do for her & for everyone. Luckily it went very smooth.
I of course minimize how much I see any of that crowd but I had to go to the funeral.
I don't either, but there was one at our voting location (and I'm in a ruralish bedroom village) for a few years. Dressed like a lumberjack but had long hair, makeup, jewelry, tits (fake?), and painted nails. Gave me the creeps.
And I don't know a single trans person.

Unfortunately I do.
