I visited Manchester recently and felt the same. London I didn't notice anything. Is it more noticeable in smaller University cities maybe?
I live in between two cities, the town I live in specifically. Most people are level headed and don't care what you do in your own time. Most wouldn't support them being in women's spaces though. They/thems are generally taken the piss out of tbh.
I know three trans identified males locally. One being my ex. The other two being homosexual transsexuals. There is also am older TIM bus driver who actually passes until he speaks, dresses very modestly, blouse buttoned all the way up with a neck scarf.
My ex is the only one who gets
tit in public. He was in the paper not long after I left as a "victim of transphobic abuse" but its not transphobic abuse. The person who gave him
tit (they published a cctv still of the guy) witnessed him abusing me and locking me and my kids outside in the rain. That's why he gave him
tit when he found out I'd left for good.
One of the homosexual transsexuals is a childhood friend of mine and would also give him
tit in the street if he saw him, as he hates him for what he did to me. I'd be interested to see how they'd label that as transphobic.
I only know one parent who's transed their kid but I don't know which school he goes to or how they've handled it. She is an absolute tosspot though and insisted on being called he/him herself for a while, but that's definitely nothing to do with her kid doing the same. She does it for attention the same as she fakes loads of stuff, she claims she has alopecia but you can clearly see she's shaved her hair. She also claims she suffers with selective mutism - So selective in fact that it only actually occurs when she's given someone abuse (really vile stuff too, telling people they deserve to be r*ped) online and she sees them in the street and knows they're liable to give her a slap.
