    Sorry for the shitty image. Had trouble finding the original that wasn’t composited over something else.

    Anyway, above image reminds me of this one.

    The I’m sorry girls line kills me.

          “Of course trans women are women. Only a woman would be dumb enough to want to be a woman!” 🤣

          It’s so ridiculous I can’t help but love it.

            There was a Reddit comment (I think?) once where someone said their grandma believed trans women were women, because nobody would voluntarily put the societal hardships of being a woman upon themselves.

              I mean, that’s straight-up truth. That’s not misogynistic at all. You give up a ton of privilege and safety going from being read as male by strangers to being read as female. And all the career disadvantages that women experience you will now experience. Plus the additional ones that come with being trans.

              That’s not the kind of thing anyone would do without a damn good reason.

                I know, the OOP and everyone in the comments said exactly that, and thought it was cute. Although regarding the career disadvantages, that absolutely depends on when in life you transition. Remember, not everyone is out at 20 years old. Some might take a few decades more.

      Reminds me of “The guy” post from a while ago who managed to defeat someone’s eating disorder, managed to be radically trans inclusive for the weirdest reasons and a whole bunch of other stuff. Hold while I try to find it, I did save it.

      EDIT: Found it

    Can I be real? I’m afab and whenever I stumble into any girlposting community I absolutely can’t tell whether it’s intended to be from a trans-fem point of view or not. Like the posts in !femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone are perfectly relatable.

      I think femcelmemes is intended to be from a general fem point of view, it’s just that the Lemmy demographics, and specifically lemmy.blahaj.zone demographics, have a lot more transfems than afab fems.

        I have a legitimate question. Is the term “cis fems” frowned upon now or is “afab fems” just a personal preference of yours? In this context the former feels far more obvious to use to me. I’m probably overthinking it but I’d rather err on the side of caution.

          I’m trans and agree that ‘cis fems’ is a better term, agab language is bioessentialist imo

          it’s just a personal preference. I’m not quite sure if I’m actually cis so I don’t use it when talking about myself.

          Regarding the „cis fems“ (no iOS, I don‘t want to type cos), cis (here) is simply the opposite of trans (across). There are reports of cis people being insulted by the term, but in my view, they have similar credibility to „I don‘t have pronouns, pronouns boy!!11!“

          TBH I just used it because you mentioned “afab” in your comment. I’m not super hip with the lingo …

    Very true, though what drives me up a wall is that I get this shit from cis women more than anyone else. You’d think they’d know better 😑
