I’ve got my own takes on this, but I’m curious about y’all’s.

    Lots of good comments about gender hierarchy, but I want to point out one thing.

    The entire issue went mainstream when Caitlyn Jenner came out. So in the mainstream, it was framed as MtF. Elliot Page got plenty of attention when he came out. Mainstream culture is celebrity culture.

      Before Caitlyn there were other instances of trans women being visible in the mainstream, such as Wendy Carlos, but perhaps not to the same degree.
