toomanypancakesLet’s be real, they don’t know what a trans guy is.
“It doesn’t matter how hard you pretend, you’ll never be a real w-… umm… ma-… umm?”
Literally, I’ve had to explain to allies that didn’t understand which is which, a bigot won’t even understand that level of nuance
riwolets be even realer, i am pretty sure they think trans man is another word for trans woman, because they dont comprehend, shit about shit
I don’t even know the difference. I’m not sure if it means the person changed from one or the other gender. Maybe trans man means was a woman? Idk man.
But at least someone taught me that you can put (gender neutral) before phrases to not offend people, and I was cool with being called girliepop.
ok, so this is very simple. trans women are women. trans men are men. you can tell because it says woman and man respectively.
many trans people feel really really bad when u call them a gender they are not (i mean, many cis (non-trans) people do too…), so calling a trans woman (someone who is a woman) a man in any way, will probably hurt them, and they would probably not call themselves a man.
on that note, please do not “idk man” me. i’m a genderless demon, here to explain gender to u and i dont enjoy being called a man, even in passing
I mean, I’d say idk man to a woman too, because it’s just a crutch word at this point. But some people actively dig for something to be offended by.
