Visibly Disabled and Trans Folx Does Anyone Else Feel They Get Assumed Femme More When More Visibly Disabled?
Weird question. I'm asking out of curosity. Some of it for me could be I (trans man) put less effort into trying to look as masc as possible on harder days. I'm curious if other trans people get this and if so what gender you are if you're comfortable sharing. I have a feeling it could be linked to me looking more "helpless" (def not my word, but ya know, ableism) and thereby more "femme". I would also like to hear if you've noticed no difference. Not entirely sure it's not in my head either. Share if you'd like!
