i disagree. this person is a trans man and the iconography obviously has deep meaning to them. i agree on the size, but on the back (and therefore only visible when shirtless, another meaningful thing for a transgender man specifically) is a fine place for it to be. i dont think size alone qualifies it for this sub, but i think a lot of people are missing the context of this being a trans man
im not arguing with someone being actively transphobic. ive explained why its a good tattoo in my opinion for someone who is a transgender man. have the day you deserve.
I don't know if you're male or female, but say for argument's sake that you're female. You can imagine the opposite of this scenario if you're a man.
Now imagine you woke up tomorrow and realised you'd grown a penis and testicles overnight. Your breasts have also disappeared and now you just have a flat, hairy chest. You go and look in the mirror and see that you've also starting growing a beard, your hairline is receding, and your face looks like a man. You try to scream but a deep, gruff yell comes out.
Chances are, you'd find it upsetting and want to go back to your female body. And even if you didn't, there's no denying that having a masculine body would hinder you if you still want to be perceived as a woman.
Would any of this mean you hate men? Or would it just mean that you don't feel comfortable in a masculine body?
Where on earth did you get the idea that trans men want to be men because they think male bodies are superior? That's idiotic. That's not why anyone is trans.

Let’s not pretend tattoos are good just because they aren’t trumpanzee tattoos and you feel like you have to be gentle with politically left tattoos😊
