Several transgenders who I know, always envision themselves with like goatees and other typical attributes that shape them into this trucker guy look.
And I just don’t get it and spare me the whole “that’s just what they wanna be” responses. Because, there are other male models to ideally go for than just that. I personally don’t find the look attractive myself so I can’t really care that they go this direction.
That isn’t all that a guy is anyways, that isn’t even what it usually takes to look like a guy.
A’yup, people are going to turn and twist the context around to mean this as an attack. The freedom to talk about generally anything was a bygone era and it’s becoming more and more apparent.
Incoming responses next now of people jeering and telling me how much of an insensitive asshole that I am. rolls eyes Can’t wait. Let’s hear it. Bitch away.
Got a victim complex, huh?
You’re gonna get downvoted for making a blanket statement based on anecdotal evidence. Some trans people want to look like truckers. Some don’t. It’s like asking why lesbians are flannel-wearing mechanics.
Why not ask the people you know why?
Where’s the blanket statement? Oh, right, it’s just a made up thing for you to victimize yourself over. You make anything about you, don’t you?
I’m not trans so it’s not really about me, though.
Why do men want to sport the trucker look? Because they like it. Why do trans men sport the trucker look? It’s a mystery, better ask Lemmy!
How are you not aware that "why do trans people (M-F) do XYZ” is a blanket statement about trans people doing XYZ? Do you… do you know what a blanket statement is? Or what victimize means?
Actually, do you know what any of the words you’ve used mean? You kinda sound like an LLM that used YouTube comments to learn how to argue.
- Nobody had responded when you wrote this
- What a persecution complex
- Twitter is owned by a transphobe with a personal vendetta against his own child for being trans. You are not being discriminated against
…What?
I didn’t have a problem with the question, but I really have a problem with this comment.
It’s like an insurance policy for assholes.
All I hear is: “I just said a thing, and I think other people might find something wrong with it, so I’m going to preemptively insult anyone who calls me out, so instead of listening to why my statement might be problematic, I can say ‘See! I was right!’”
The bygone era you speak of, wasn’t freedom to talk about anything, it was a fear of standing up against the norm. It was a time of silently allowing assholes to spread hate because defending the outcasts would make you a target, and I say farewell and fuck off to that era.
This ‘preemptive’ insult you call it, is basically knowing what’s going to happen. I saw the downvotes incoming ahead of time. I knew people weren’t going to take to it well because they saw it as an attack and did. Now, several responses back and forth between me and other people. I was right. You guys DID take it as an attack and you’re all acting on it so. You decided at will to decipher it as an attack and here you all are defending yourselves, presenting all sorts of made-up arguments that weren’t even made and assumptions of things that weren’t even said to defend yourselves against.
Call it foresight. If this question stood on it’s own with no responses and none of me. SOMEONE would throw the first fucking stone, don’t deny it, you know that it is true.
Excuse me? That’s quite a revision and again a twist of context that I swear I knew you’d pull to do. Wow, just wow. See what I mean? No you don’t.
You didn’t HAVE to prove me right, but I appreciate that you did. A lot of people wouldn’t have done that. Thanks.
Oh you’re adorable. Now to block.
I also appreciate that.
Why don’t you ask the trans people you know? They’re more likely to know their reasons that we are. We’re just random people in the Internet. They’re the ones whose style causes you questions.
It’s messy. What is trans? How much of it is I am ___ versus I’m not ___ or becoming the most non-whatever I was? Male <> female or male stereotype <> female stereotype? And how much does where/how you grew up play a part in that? Wear what you want, do what you want, be who you want, fuck who you want, change any of it tomorrow if you want. I don’t really understand the labels for everything. Maybe because I’m old? Maybe because I grew up in the '80s? Is androgenous the same as non-binary?
Downvoting questions like this isn’t helping trans people, it’s just making curious people uncomfortable.
OP isn’t curious, he’s a bigot.
Fuck being curious I guess.
IT’S PRIDE MONTH NOW! ANYTHING ANYONE HAS TO SAY ABOUT LGBTQ PEOPLE IS NOT ALLOWED! IT IS NOT ALLOWED AND THE LANGUAGE MUST MEET CERTAIN STANDARDS SO IT IS SOFT AND COMPREHENSIBLE FOR THE MINORITIES TO NOT GET OFFENDED!!!
Want a kicker? I’m a Non-Binary/Bisexual individual. How about them apples?
