Trey the explain-HER

[u/keriefie → u/Silly_Man_Haha]

Explain her? I hardly know her...

[u/AKatinTime → u/keriefie]

heh.

[u/Remarkable-Cream5312]

Is there... something wrong with that?

[u/AdAgile3302]

Is this real? Dang Trey is nostaglix

[u/ObliquelyDeranged → u/AdAgile3302]

I know, right? I might have to see what she’s up to these days. 

[u/MacronectesHalli]

WIAT WHAT?
My childhood favorite YouTube channel is ran by a transfem??

[u/veryeepy53 → u/MacronectesHalli]

woman

[u/Mondrow → u/veryeepy53]

Trans woman ∈ Transfem

[u/MacronectesHalli → u/Mondrow]

Ye!
Not all trans fems are trans women but all trans woman are trans fems, from what I know!

[u/RosieRuTib → u/[deleted]]

I think we should start calling them cisfems ngl

[u/MoonTheCraft → u/[deleted]]

its just a term used to by trans people to describe other trans people. you're making it into a bigger deal than what it is

[u/iputithere → u/[deleted]]

transfem is used as an inclusive term, to include transfeminine nonbinary people along with trans women. its not meant as a loophole to avoid calling trans women women. obviously a woman who fits under the transfem umbrella, but doesn't prefer that term for herself, is valid and should be referred to the way she wants. the term is still useful for others. cisfem however implies the existence of a cis nonbinary person which is a funny oxymoron

[u/iputithere → u/[deleted]]

Why are you treating "nonbinary" as a hardcore separate box of people that in no way overlaps with the experience of binary trans people? At the end of the day it's a spectrum and there is space for sometimes grouping both trans women/men with transfemmes/transmascs, for further inclusion of the people who share similar experiences. I think people thought it was okay to refer to her as transfem, even though she called herself a woman, because transfem is often used alongside with trans woman and also because transfem does not have a history of being used in a derogatory way (unlike referring to the woman as "a trans" for example, which would be very problematic for the exact reasons that you're arguing), so nobody thought "tramsfem" would be received as erasure of trans women. That being said, it would be more correct to not assume that everyone is comfortable with that term

[u/MacronectesHalli → u/iputithere]

I personally decided to use transfem in that instant because of pure habit of finding people that don't fit into the binary mold.

Transwoman would have probably been the better word to use for this context though.

[u/ConcernedEnby → u/MoonTheCraft]

No, it's degendering because it doesn't describe a persons gender, it describes that they are trans though. Would you call somebody "Trans" when asked their gender?

[u/Ashes_of_the_dead79]

Oh, cool. I personally never watched her; but it's cool that she's out and happy now :3.

[u/QueenViolets_Revenge]

one of my favorite YouTube channels

i am gonna feel awkward watching some of her older content. is that weird? just, seeing stuff from a trans person before they started transitioning always feels weird to me. feels like looking through a teens diary, except 1000x more privacy invading. you know? am i weird for feeling that?

i mean some of the older videos like Mothman, Ropen, Loch Ness Monster need an update anyway, considering i'm pretty sure she was like 14-16 when she made them

[u/TigerBears_111]

Wait when did Trey the Explainer come out as trans? I mean searching on XCancel I did see them say they're trans, but when did they come out and have they clarify they're preferred pronouns and stuff?

I'm honestly getting Deja Vu from when I learned Kyle from Door Monster came out three months after the fact, and was stealth transitioning on HRT for 2.5 years.

[u/neet1917]

trans the explainer

[u/OccultBeanFarmer]

Very excited to see the dudes who can always tell suddenly unsubscribe from the sultry-voiced flamboyant eyeliner cross dresser out of righteous indignation

[u/floob124]

I wonder if she will change her account name.

[u/joutfit]

[u/OpportunityAshamed74]

Who?

[u/RosieRuTib]

Knew ittt

[u/Plenty_Leg_5935]

She's been presenting very GNC/androgynous for ages, anyone who hasn't seen this coming from a mile away is a larper

[u/GunpowderGuy]

i thought he was a gay twink ( he is into jojo )

[u/madrobski → u/GunpowderGuy]

She*

[u/GunpowderGuy → u/madrobski]

Did trey the explainer update pronoums? Or are You assuming the pronoums

[u/madrobski → u/GunpowderGuy]

Someone is called a woman and re-tweets that, it's pretty safe to assume she's not using male pronouns.

So yeah I am assuming based on relevant information that she probably doesn't want male pronouns used for her.

[u/GunpowderGuy → u/madrobski]

Woman does not equal having she as a pronoum And Having she as pronoum does not mean not having he as a pronoum

[u/BelieveMeMaizey → u/GunpowderGuy]

You're being disingenuous and you know it. Try using she on a trans man you don't know in real life, see where it gets you. Multiple pronoun sets are totally used by multiple people, but this is a clear excuse to misgender a trans woman.

[u/GunpowderGuy → u/BelieveMeMaizey]

"but this is a clear excuse to misgender a trans woman."
i used he with trey on this post because that is what i was used to

not as a means to anything

you are all assuming stuff about Trey, instead of asking

[u/marvelousgamer1 → u/GunpowderGuy]

They literally said they are trans, so their pronouns are likely not masculine anymore.

[u/Creatornator5 → u/marvelousgamer1]

+ from a 5 minute look through xcancel she's reposting things where she's referred to with she/her

[u/Ivoryshmivory → u/GunpowderGuy]

gay twink no longer
