It's frankly shocking in hindsight how many movies in the 90s and early 00s used "attractive woman used to be a man" as a joke. Like no other punchline, just "haha she used to be a man" or the even more disgusting variant of "male main character shocked and disgusted by knowledge they slept with post op trans woman". Like you're right, pop culture barely acknowledged trans people as even existing normally until... Fuck, barely 10 years ago?
In the 1990's making fun of gay people on national TV like SNL skits was perfectly acceptable
People forget same-sex marriage was only legalized here around 2004, that's only 19 years
I attended a Christian university in the early 00s. Obviously not a representative sample size but guys around me used the f-word slur like it was going out of style. And while a bunch of white Christian college guys are gonna use that word a lot more, it’s use was still fairly common among other people I knew.
