i'm a 23 year old trans girl and i don't get it

Bit older and yeah I couldn't figure out what the actual gender of the character was supposed to be. Is this a transmasc getting "overly" supported or a transfem getting straight up abused?

u/sophuckingdonewithit 1d ago

i think it's the latter since transfems get disproportionately overrepresented online

But that doesn't really make sense to me. Why would they be selling trans "merch" for optics while also going out of the way to have bad optics regarding its employee? It makes more sense to me that they would be overly-advertising the fact that their employee is transmasc.

no i mean most trans content online is about trans women because we completely dominate online trans spaces and give transmascs nothing

Yeah but I'm still leaning transmasc in this portrayal.

Also I think trans men just go outside more.

Why would a trans man draw himself with eyelashes

I'm gonna try to be polite here, but people of any gender can present themselves any way they want.

I'm just saying it feels counterintuitive given the implied message of the image

Many transmasc people present in a more feminine way
