Isn’t it really insensitive to point out a trans girls’ penis? Like I can only imagine having transitioned successfully in every other way, feeling almost completely comfortable with your body… but then someone sees your bulge and just has to remind you of your balls and triggering dysmorphic feelings. Rude much?
While I’m in questioning rant mode: What’s with the thing of calling people trans+gender in the first place? Is a trans girl not allowed to just be a girl?
I’m sure many people have good intentions, but it really feels like accidental mean behavior to spotlight something that should be between partners, doctors, and close friends/family who can be trusted keep reminding someone they were born into a body that felt wrong.
Pardon my rant. Just confused/frustrated at some things.
its definitely pretty weird and kinda (sexually) harassy to point out someones bulge in public, especially if you dont know them well and have that kind of relationship where that might be possible
but spreading positivity on the internet about genitals that ppl might be dysphoric about, is imo good. we all profit from normalising our bodies. even if we cant accept ourselves, its good to know that others will love us either way
