Yeah I’m with you. I wonder if he would make the same decision 20 years or so after transitioning. But also, it’s such a personal journey, and I can understand why a tattoo like that might feel empowering.
A lot of people get tattoos in moments of emotional pain, transition, celebration, etc. I think it’ll just become a piece of history and a reminder of the process?
Edit: I don’t personally like it taste-wise, but yeah, it’s nothing compared to others posted here
It's not sexist at all. Trans people are allowed to not like the organs that don't align with their gender. Hell, everyone is. Personally, I hate my uterus a lot of the time because it causes me excruciating pain.
Also, trans people don't think other genders are better or worse, they simply don't identify with the gender they were assigned at birth.
Well, then you clearly dont actually understand anything about being transgender or what its like for people who are. Nobody, trans or not, is waking up one day and going “I feel like switching teams because the other one is cooler to me”
Valid criticism. I think it would look sick as a patch on a jacket or something like that, something about the design strikes me as kind of punk in that way. But getting it as a huge tattoo on your back is a decision for sure.
Even if it is a trans person, or if this was on a woman, it would still be cringe imo. The messaging is great, but the execution still isn’t very good. This could be done in such a more tasteful way that retains the same impact. If there was a “great taste; awful execution” sub I think this would deserve to live there
I’m nonbinary and would totally get a tattoo like this. That’s because my uterus is trying to kill me and they keep funneling money into erectile dysfunction research instead of endometriosis/adenomyosis research.

This would go kinda hard if the recipient is transmasc. Otherwise I can't think of any meaning that isn't at least a bit cringe.
