I’m sorry I didn’t see this earlier. I totally understand what you’re coming from.  
I’ve been going through it myself.  
@Krickis  
And I meant that as hyperbole.  
sorry if that came off as a bit insensitive

And also just because rainbow dash is masculine doesn’t mean she’s trans
 
women can be masculine and still be a woman. hell, you can be a tough and rough trans woman if you want to.
 
but why rainbow dash  
Well at least it’s not Trixie.

@ndogmario  
See my comment here: @Krickis
 
 
Also the implication that you have to “chop off your dick” to be a woman is harmful to other trans people.

Then what’s the point, you’re just chopping your dick off for the shits and giggles?
 
As a trans woman I find is offensive.  
People who take the label and put no effort into it is a gross appropriation of the trans community.
 
Don’t get me wrong, you can be who you are. But if you’re going to use a label , you better own it not wear it.
 
Trans is not a costume

If you don’t like the theme of the image or how the artist conveyed their message please filter the appropriate tags or hide the image. If you want to continue your discussions of how trans people should behave or how they should present theirselves, please use the forums (preferably on some other site).

@Krickis  
I dont oppose anything but using tokenism to prove one’s point
 
Also the delivery

@Skoon  
You could filter the mouthpiece tag. Save my message was directed at the several people who get obviously opposed the message itself.

@Krickis  
I’ve got nothing against the message.
 
I have a problem with the delivery.

A lot of bad faith people here, and there’s no way I’m waking into this minefield of an agreement. But since some of y’all seem legitimately confused what the point of this phrase is, allow me to explain.
 
I’m a trans woman. When I get all pretty in skirts and blouses, put on makeup, do my hair, I’m a woman. When I wear men’s jeans (they’re more comfortable, and I grew up wearing them), men’s t-shirts (same as the jeans, plus a lot more options in designs), go out without doing my hair or makeup or anything, I’m still a woman. That’s what we mean by not owing anyone feminity, I’m a woman all day every day, even when I don’t look like one or have the energy to present as one.
 
Plus like, the type of people in this thread are probably never gonna get this and crucify me for it, but fuck it I might as well give a full rundown. I’ve known trans women who just go for a neutral style, not overly masculine or feminine, but they still feel like a woman. Why do cis women get to be neutral or even masculine and yet trans women are expected to always be feminine? Because yeah, even people who claim to support me as a woman have made comments about me not getting dolled up, but no one cares when my (cisgender) wife dresses more neutral/masculine.
 
So there you go. Because you people in this thread are proving this is an important message that needs to be discussed, I’m trying to explain it. I don’t have high hopes, but maybe someone actually listens instead of complaining what those damn queer folk are doing now.

from a non binary human who doesnt want surgery,,, isnt the whole point of being trans to resemble the other gender and be more masculine/feminine? if youre not gonna try dont take on the label. gross.

Deal, as long as non-trans people don’t have to owe you acknowledgement.

@William Flutter  
Oh yeah I remember that.

@Skoon  
Not just LGBT+, but literally everyone and everything
 
Like the whole Speedy Gonzales being “offensive” to Mexicans and the Mexicans actually liking him thing from a few years back

@William Flutter  
Agreed.
 
Lotta 25 and younger making a total mockery of the LGBT with this crap, in my opinion. :/

Wait a minute. Isn’t the whole idea of being trans the desire to fully embody your true gender? So what is the point of being a trans woman if you don’t want to act like one or gain their traits of femininity?

@Skoon  
It doesnt do anyone any favors honestly

Speaking as a deeply queer individual myself, this mouth piece trend really needs to die. You are not doing us any favors.

Who said they did? also what does RD has to do with it?

According to what legal document?
