I was talking about when she made the decision to transition and was first going through HRT. But that is a good thing! My godmother transitioned in 1988. Most of her family disowned her. Her life was in danger many times she went out in public. She was literally chased by a small angry mob on several occasions and physically and sexually assaulted. Someone tried setting her house on fire. She had "AIDS FAG" spray painted on her car. Of course, life is a lot different for her, since times have changed. Most of her family has came around, and she has a great community that accepts her.
There are good GOOD reasons why people didn't transition back then. For the fear of their lives or being publicly shamed, not because just name calling. And guess what? that still happens in parts around the country and the world! It's straight up inhumane.
