Transcript: A girl is standing in front of a trans flag. She is wearing a sweater with the trans flag colors and has cat ears. A caption above the image reads: “React with the sparkling heart emoji if you love girl bulge, or hate late stage capitalist imperialism”.

Heh. “Transcript”.
Isn’t it really insensitive to point out a trans girls’ penis? Like I can only imagine having transitioned successfully in every other way, feeling almost completely comfortable with your body… but then someone sees your bulge and just has to remind you of your balls and triggering dysmorphic feelings. Rude much?
While I’m in questioning rant mode: What’s with the thing of calling people trans+gender in the first place? Is a trans girl not allowed to just be a girl?
I’m sure many people have good intentions, but it really feels like accidental mean behavior to spotlight something that should be between partners, doctors, and close friends/family who can be trusted keep reminding someone they were born into a body that felt wrong.
Pardon my rant. Just confused/frustrated at some things.
I mean, if you’re making a comment directed at me/a specific person, absolutely. However, personally, I think this post is fine. Context matters too, this isn’t denigrating or negative so it doesn’t bother me along those lines either. I don’t particularly care for this post, but I wouldn’t call it a problem. And yes, we already call trans women women, and clarify trans when it’s contextually relevant. For example, “Women find this offensive” vs “Trans women find this offensive”, the latter is addressing the sub group specifically. I don’t mean to jump down your throat and prefer to err on the side of not potentially bothering people, just thought I’d chime in with my two cents
I used to be impartial to mine, almost wanted both (eg penile preservation vaginoplasty), but lately I just want it gone. I may have liked my bulge at some point, but the harassment and death threats make it a very tenuous living situation.
its definitely pretty weird and kinda (sexually) harassy to point out someones bulge in public, especially if you dont know them well and have that kind of relationship where that might be possible
but spreading positivity on the internet about genitals that ppl might be dysphoric about, is imo good. we all profit from normalising our bodies. even if we cant accept ourselves, its good to know that others will love us either way
