Because I was fifteen and they threw me out...........

It still goes on.

Sorry to hear that.
But the link is about someone coming out as male in the 70s and his family happily accepting it, to the point where decades later they forgot he'd ever been anything else, and paying for his surgery. So I was confused by you saying "much the same, I fear".

I was agreeing with Andrew's comment that lots of them were terrible, because from people I knew at the time who had similar experiences to mine, lots of them were.

I suspect that the example was the lucky exception and I find myself wondering if 'male' might have been the thing- more acceptable in those circles.

That said, I knew trans guys who had equally awful experiences.
