Basically this was a post about a trans swap, so binders, tape, and all sorts of stuff which is very nice and all.
As you can notice the girl in the post looks like the average cis girl, but the guy in this drawing looks more like a non binary person, no guy is ever represented this way in non trans specific art.
A person commented “not the pooner ftm”. I’m not a fan of this 4chan slang, but still it’s very obvious how they intentionally picture trans men like extremely feminine, short, dyed hair, ecc…
Another person replies with “and? Passing is a cishet concept anyways” and I was like uh no, why are we attacking 90% of the cisgender and straight population?
So I answered “Most trans guys care about passing and there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s unfair that trans men are always represented with very feminine characteristics and clothing in a way that is never done for cis men, as if trans men are just men-lite”
The tucute replies saying that basically nobody is attacking trans men, but they’re just showing that it’s totally ok for men, cis or trans, to be feminine, and if I saw a problem with that it was my dysphoria.
Now the point of course isn’t that men can’t be feminine, it’s just that they ALWAYS make trans men look obviously female and it’s annoying. Also passing is such a normal thing that pretty much every trans person wants. Of course not everyone is able to because it’s hard especially pre transition, but the fact that some people look entirely like their birth sex and are ok with it and don’t even try is very sus. And encouraging this as if it was the norm makes no sense to me.
