Most trans people of today will never have to know the stigma of the diagnosis of gender identity disorder.

I came out in 2009 and the first step was getting diagnosed with a disease saying you were trans.

Yes, being trans was once a disease. It wasn't that long ago, in fact. Getting diagnosed with GID was a prerequisite to getting treatment. And most psychiatrists would try some form of CBT or whatever to convince you you weren't trans. Outcomes were predictably poor.

Of course 16 years have elapsed since TIA was first proposed and in tech, I guess that's an eternity; an entire generation have probably retired and the new kids don't even know who George W Bush was, the even newer ones probably don't even know about Edward Snowden, the really new ones haven't heard of Donald Trump

but seriously, somewhere between 2000 and 2019 the IT industry seamlessly transitioned from

"we provide precision engineering tools, your data is yours, you should not need to trust us or anyone, mathematics is your guarantee, crypto 4 ever. "

to

"give us your data. all of it. give. no secrets. hold nothing back. in return we will... train AIs on it.. and provide unspecified 'services'... for someone, who may be you... that can change at any time... and we are funded by, uh. Look, a unicorn!"

I've been on the fediverse since 2017, and if there's one thing I can share with newcomers it's that you eventually won't be shocked or surprised when the people you follow change gender, or decide they're an anthropomorphised animal now.
