Posting this amazing art ("pink in the night") by Eunnie, who has seemingly not yet joined the fediverse, so that you're not missing out  

I have added full alt text, which was sadly missing from the posts elsewhere.

@SleepyCatten
a detail from the second frame that might be worth adding: the AMAB person is looking at a poster of an F+M+child family unit, which is probably why the other (at least to me) looks like they are pulling them along with an expression of "ignore that; they don't know what they are saying".

@FiXato @SleepyCatten

In a world where images are seen differently depending on who is looking. I didn't think of the purple haired person as masc, I saw them both as fem - and the poster being negative.
Rereading with your comment in mind, I see the transition now :-)

Show threadcuffedCatlingApr 18, 2023
@SleepyCatten please, thank you for the alt text, but the terms AMAB and AFAB mean what gender was assigned to someone at birth, it's not about clothing and hair styles. Yes, the short haired child is clearly supposed to be read as a boy and growing up revealed as a trans feminine person, but we haven't seen their birth certificate, they could very well be AiAB or even AFAB.
Show threadSleepyCatten (Barely Surviving Arc)Apr 18, 2023

@cuffedCatling I tried to think of another sensitive way to describe it. Could you please suggest a way that would be acceptable to all while still conveying the relevant meaning?  

For example:
* presumed AFAB / AMAB?
* presumed girl / boy?

I'm a trans fem myself & I'd prefer that others didn't refer to me as having been a young boy, so I was wary of doing so here 🥺

Show threadcuffedCatlingApr 18, 2023
@SleepyCatten oh yeah I feel that, I don't think there is a way to convey the interpretation without hurting anyone.. I personally would have just described the child as having short hair and wearing blue and muted colors while the other child has long hair in pigtails and wears bright colors, but if you wanted to convey the interpretation then "presumed" would be a good way of distancing yourself from objectivity, yes

@cuffedCatling I've tweaked the alt text on image one. What do you think? 🥺  

I've tried to make it descriptive, but also carefully-worded so as not to set off any likely/common trans misgendering trauma triggers

@SleepyCatten yes good idea, "implied" works for me too! thank you

@cuffedCatling Thank you too for providing me feedback on this! I struggled with the wording earlier today when I posted this, so your post really helped & has (I think) made it a bit more inclusive & descriptive

@SleepyCatten

I like this comic, but it always makes me so sad; I have literally never had a relationship in 36 years, and the "this is normal" stings me in that I have never lived a normal experience.

@atatassault *offers so many hugs* 🥺🫂

I hadn't ever been able to get a girlfriend or hook up with anyone until I tried online dating, aged 27. I didn't meet my now wife until I was nearly 29 & that was due to so many random factors coinciding.

I've watched so many people fall in love & start relationships just from regular social interactions on social media & Discord.

Don't ever lose hope 🥺💟

@SleepyCatten I'd seen this little story posted around for a few years now, but somehow never caught on that one of the women was trans. It's subtle enough I guess.

Thanks for adding the alt text. Just looking at the pictures goes by quick, but reading it all spelled out just made me cry happy tears
