Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.
Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.
A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.
Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

I see people using the word "political" to refer to things that provoke discussions and/or disagreements (not sure if that's the case here). Wouldn't "controversial" be a better word for that use?
As far as I understand, political means being involved in public affairs of some kind, like working in politics, doing activism, etc.
I'm not a native English speaker, so correct me if I'm wrong.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_personal_is_political
Yes, here in the USA "political" can refer to all the things you mentioned, as well as being a synonym for "controversial". But its meaning has been stretched and twisted here.
For example, there's a whole line of discourse about what constitutes "a political act", i.e. something that contributes to advocacy: you may have heard someone say "love is a political act" or "trans joy is a political act". And sometimes "political act" is just shortened to "political".
And disingenuous right-wing grifters have adopted the word to refer to any agenda the disagree with, and they intend it as derogatory. It's a loaded word, now.
