Tulsa, Oklahoma was a rough place to live in if you didn’t fit in. Well at least on the West side, on the East side people didn’t care as much as they were working their asses off to survive. So you could potentially, hypothetically, theoretically have been born a female but then later identify and represent as a male… which happened to seven teenagers. Johnny Cade at age 16 Steve Randle at 17 Ponyboy Curtis at 14 Sodapop Curtis at 16 too Darry Curtis at 20 Two-Bit at 18 And Dally Winston at 17 too They all had that in common, they were all trans men, they all had their ways of expressing it mostly based on their home life and whether their parents accepted them or not.

Like Johnny for example, he grew his hair out most of the time and always had a spare pair of “girly” enough clothes he could wear in front of his parents which he always hid behind a couple of bushes on his backyard, Two bit was a contrast, his mother was fine with it and allowed him to save up money for a top surgery (for all I know top surgeries were allowed in the US in the seventies, but just imagine they were a thing before that). They were all happy with their decisions, who cared if the Socs told them they would never be real men? They were more of a man than any of them could ever dream being.
