A pointless thread. Is anyone who was posting between 2009 to 2013 around? How are you doing? If not that's okay. I used to come here everyday after …

Here's a fascinating thread from 420chan. Basically, before 4chan got an LGBT board around 2015, 420chan had a lot of troons. They had a designated board and it attracted many because of the libertarian "anything goes" vibe and the fact that the board was used for drugs, so it was used to discuss getting HRT and surgery outside the western medical system. Things I noticed:
1. Of the ones who passed, many ended up dating tranny chasers. The ones who didn't date chasers dated other troons. Few cis females partners, as expected.
2. Many seemed put off by the new generation of troons, and quickly distanced themselves from the transgender movement if they were able to "stealth pass".
3. Lots of regrets all around. Some regretted transitioning early, others regretted putting off transition (almost like gender wasn't their problem!)
4. They hated many of the even older troons who posted on sites like Susan's Place and Laura's Playground. The boomers who didn't come out until later in life were referred to as "hons".
5. There are now younger troons on imageboards who don't know what hon means. Perhaps because the younger ones don't know what Susan's Place is, or maybe because the hon generation is dying. IDK. 2016 happened 30 years ago.
6. Very few who started before turning 18. This makes sense because they wouldn't be on 420chan if their parents let them/pushed them to transition.
7. This must be a sampling of troons who did not 41% , so survivorship bias is in effect. But the ones with regret seemed to know that the end was near.
I'd love to know their opinions on Jazz. I bet that if you asked a 30-something troon, they'd recognize that he's not trans and his parents are pushing him to transition. But if you asked a troon the same age as Jazz, they'd flip their shit and call you a transphobic, bigoted anti semite. Attitudes changed in a hurry between boomer and zoomer.
