I blame The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Oh yeah Bosom Buddies was hahaha, but Rocky, gave me my first hard on of a trans. I was able to sneak in on a show in Boulder in the 80s, I was 12, and wasn't into musicals, but it was better than life. I grew up poor but my cousin was gay and cool and invited me. I said he was cool. He never pushed anything on me or forced anything. Hell, I didn't know he was gay at the time, but found out later through family who shunned him. I went and at first I was scared. "Horror" got me. I expected Michael Myers BS, but I got dancing and music and little Mexican me was changed forever. So was my view on trans. Not right away, but kept me aware of them and their struggle. But for the longest I couldn't do anything. I was a kid in a fucked up town. 

Then the 90s came. And adulthood. Trans took on a sexual thing for me, but my respect grew even more. So did my voice for LGBTQ+ I may be cis male, but I love and worship trans.
