    This post is extremely disrespectful to transmascs and gender nonconforming individuals, and just in general gives really awful vibes.

    First of all this assumes that a person must be transfem or a woman to want, have, or work to get these things. This is not correct. A person may desire any of these things while identifying as female, male, or even Get this, NonBinary, yeah wild isn’t it. That’s because presentation and gender identity are separate things altogether.

    Which is also the reason why this phrase

    -ability to wear adorable clothes

    Is flat out wrong, because gender and presentation are not the same. In addition this take is extremely harmful and reinforces gender stereotypes. I know people are starting to think that’s not a real thing and that only terfs say that, but reinforcing gender stereotypes is a real thing and it’s really disrespectful both to trans and GNC people.

    -ditch your angry, masculine mannerisms

    This is both hurtful to transmasc people and is just in general extremely misandristic. You should be ashamed of yourself, this hating men thing is grossly reminiscent of TERF rhetoric.

    -decimate your fapping addiction

    Ignoring the fact that this assumes the viewer even has one in the first place (which many won’t) this isn’t even really true, because estrogen affects different people’s sex drive differently, some may lose that urge, but for others it may be just as strong, some might be even stronger. I have no personal experience (and I don’t plan on it) this is mostly gathered from things I’ve read online and the experiences my trans friends have shared with me, so take that how you will.

    -improved mental state

    This really depends, is E what this person wants? If so then yes it certainly would, but if they don’t it would probably cause the opposite effect. It can lead to an improvement, but only if the person wants it and the affects that come with it, but if they don’t want it, then it’s not going to be a good experience for them.

        It’s not unfortunately, this same person made a very toxic post in Egg_irl claiming femboys are trans girls in denial and she attacked everyone in the comments who went against her, flinging many accusations and bad faith arguments at them.

            Yeah it’s not like those, she’s dead serious. Though even when it is, gender identity invalidation and sexism even as a joke is uh, pretty gross, and not really something that should be encouraged.

      As someone who this meme applies to perfectly - this meme doesnt explain why I had angry mannerisms or why I wouldn’t put on cute clothes (I didnt accept myself, had gender dysphoria etc.) So its not really hitting the mark as helpful / informative even when it hits that perfect target audience. Thank you for pointing out the many other issues with it that I’m not as aware of.
