Yeah, but society at large has issues with exceptional gender expressions.
Cis people can struggle with their own gender identity when other cis people force expectations onto them.
The difference is that cis people don’t have to assert a gender different from what they were assigned at birth.
I’m literally not but you clearly have no interest in understanding the words I wrote, so I’ll just drop it.
practically everybody has been told to behave differently because “boys do X” or “girls do Y”.
I wish people would leave me the fuck alone when they think I’m not being a man correctly.
This is what I mean by ‘on a surface level.’
Oppositional sexism demands that those born in male bodies do masculine things, and those born in female bodies do feminine things. In other words it demands that everybody, not just those who are trans, conform to socially expected performances of gender.
However, cis people are afforded the security in feeling that their birth gender is the one that is ‘correct’ for them.
Cis people largely feel gender entitlement (projecting one’s own perception of gender onto other people, and privileging those perceptions over the way others understand themselves), hence:
A lot of people don’t really care much about what their gender is
Trans people do not get this privilege. Trans people face the same oppositional sexism that cis people do (that all people that exhibit exceptional gender expressions do), as well as having to face cis people’s gender entitlement being pushed onto them.
All this to say the joke is that the subject of the meme is in denial about their transness, and they are assuming that everybody feels the same way. The meme is a transfem centered meme- cis people may not get the joke; however many people DO care about their gender identity, but some identities are privileged over others.
On a surface level, sure, but most cis people never really have to grapple much with their gender identity.
Yes please! People need to be less afraid of ‘bad’ representation.
Verilybitchie made two very good videos on this topic:
Good LGBT Representation is Boring (and why that’s a problem)

Heads up, when hexbear upgraded a few months ago, there was a bug where you couldn’t log back in (the update logs out out).
The fix is to just clear your cookies for blahaj.
What is ‘deep writing’ to you? It’s a character driven narrative focused on two characters’ relationship to each other and their survivors guilt. It doesn’t have to be ‘deep’ to be compelling. It might not be ‘the greatest story ever told in a video game’ as it’s been lauded, but it’s not bad by any means.
Gameplay is w/e I’ll give you that one.
Just to be clear, Unrecord (the game this cyberpunk mod is based off of) is a standalone game. It’s also straight up copaganda, so I could give two fucks about the original dev. Besides that? There’s no real benefit to keeping his technique to making the game’s art style a secret, it’s a good thing that the information is freely available.
Right, but in the context of
there’s a little voice in my head telling me to try one just to fuck around
Trying ‘one just to fuck around’ will do next to nothing.
Not a doctor- but…
There’s a reason E is normally prescribed with a testosterone blocker. Small doses of Estradiol will do next to nothing if there’s still a natural level of T flowing through your system.
I’m for it. I’ve just been assuming /c/LGBTQ is for general queer things including general trans stuff, but a trans focused comm sounds great!
I actually made a small mistake, I mixed up persona 4’s yosuke cut content with one of the persona 5 spin-offs letting you admit you want to marry ryuji.
Presumably the scene where there’s two gay men and the joke is that they’re predators.
There’s also the part where one of your pals was meant to be a same sex romance but it got cut.
Congrats! Hope everything goes great for you! Just remember: it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
I think being uncertain is as normal as being certain. The message I was trying to get across however is that it’s an internal process and nobody can tell you you’re wrong. Obviously there is an internal struggle as well because identity is something so inherent to the human experience that when your identity is challenged in a serious way, there’s going to be some level of dissonance.
Struggling is fine. You’re not abnormal, I promise. It’s just a process because questioning your own identity means you’re going against the social expectation of ‘normality’. Despite being on HRT myself, and ‘coming out’ to myself internally years before starting my transition, I still find myself having those thoughts of self-doubt.
Aww cute
