The most interesting part of this column was where you summarized the thoughts of some teenage girls interested in transitioning. I'm really curious where you heard/read their discussion.

"I'm really curious where you heard/read their discussion."

This wasn't one conversation but the accumulation of many. Some of them totally unrelated to trans people. As a male, I think it's easy to miss how puberty feels for some (most?) females. Sexualisation, periods, the sudden physical differentiation from boys in terms of size and strength, stigma about sex and fears about pregnancy. All of this stuff passes men by. It's always interesting how many trans women are oblivious to this stuff too.
