other/nuance/see results
See Results*for the purposes of this poll, I'm talking about like specifically meeting someone who came out to you at some point about being trans
this does not include yourself if you are trans, in that case I'm talking meeting another trans person! cause sometimes we're isolated and don't meet other trans people until later on in our lives & those can be really meaningful experiences!
things that do not count: hearing/reading about trans people as a Topic or Issue, seeing trans people in television/movies/porn, seeing trans people post online, reading a book or article by a trans person, seeing someone you assume is trans, knowing of a trans person but never talking to them, etc.
there's a level of community and intimacy here I'm getting at-- the first time a trans person talked to you about transness and their experience or understanding of themself
