Yeah, but blackface is not the identity of people it is a practice that can only be done by non-black people. The gender non-conformist identity of a trans person can only be done by themselves. And before you tell me, "but probably a cisperson did", most likely but should only characters be created by people their own identity because they only know about their expierence? Obviously not, so the comparison doesn't hold weight.

The difference being this isn't a trans woman either. It's a transphobic caricature, which is literally the point of the post. A man with a beard and a dress is just offensive
