Image transcription: a tweet by Migma Sale (@RabbidTheNabbit), reading “Before vs after hrt”. On the left, there’s an image of an angry-looking soyjak with stubble and a neckbeard. On the right, there’s an image of a smiling, beautiful transfemme, in the “wojak” art style. They have pink hair, a miniature transgender flag, and a shirt with the same flag on it. End transcription.
That’s true. I feel like, in the lack of any other context, that the image on the right is supposed to represent a trans woman though.
i dont think the picture provides the context of that person being a trans woman and if anything, the lack of any further context means we just cant say anything beyond them being transfeminin.
i dont want to come across as hostile. what u are doing here just seems to fit in our societies pattern of treating binary gender as default and considering everything else to require being stated explicitly. this is something that bothers me and i consider both harmful and ignoring reality, which is why i talk about it, when i see it.
i am not accusing u of doing this on pupose, its ingrained in our society after all. i just hope i can make u think about this topic
sowy for leaving a long ass, serious comment under a meme. ur transcription of it the reflects a bigger issue to me and as i said, thats something i talk about when i see it. so sowy, not sowy?
thanku for reading this, if u did, and engaging with my ideas <3
I’m sorry about that, I’ll change it.
