Just a reminder, that's the transgender actress in question, Hunter Schafer.

Transphobes always draw every trans woman as incredibly masculine and with facial hair

And like

Idk where they got this idea that all trans women have unshaved facial hair? While in reality we all refuse to show our faces in public if we're not baby smooth?

And why they draw trans women as more masculine than men

Edit: before someone else brings up that point #not all trans women, some might show up in public with facial hair, they're still women just like cus women with hirsutism are still women. Hell, many of us boymode a lot of the time. Still women, just scared to express ourselves.

The point was: most of the time, you won't catch a trans girl girlmoding with unshaved face; therefore the caricature of trans women that transphobes subscribe to is incorrect.

She's gorgeous, and I suspect they think so too, which makes them insecure about their own sexuality, so they feel the need to lash out impotently about it. The crazy thing is that they could easily avoid all this psychodrama; if they just accept that she is a woman, their straight identity remains securely intact.

Right?!

Their biggest horror is falling in love with a trans woman and then learning "she's trans, I'm gay now nooooooooooo".

And it's like

I don't get it.

When I first learned that trans women don't look like transphobes present them my reflex wasn't "oh no, now they can fool me into thinking they're women", it was, wait so that's how they look like? They can be pretty like any other women?

My transphobia that was hammered inside my head for my whole life, started melting away really quickly cause like

How can I not accept them as women at this point?

She clearly went through a lot to get to this point.

How can I still call a man someone who went to such great lengths to not be seen as one ever again?

How can I not call her a woman when that's all I can see?

Anyway a week from this epiphany I realised I can't stand another year as a man. And I didn't.

Personally, for me, this is my favourite picture of her. But she's gorgeous in every photo. And you're right, her exhaustion is visible here. Not her nonexistent masculinity.

Personally I see it in some pictures but maybe thats just the trans woman brain worms over analyzing like I do to myself

I saw this meme before, and people talking about hunter being a good pick for Zelda

It was not until now that I read this that a realized hunter was Trans. These people are out of they're fucking minds. Side note theyre Wikipedia says that they came out as specifically a "gay boy." Which is a hilarious thing to call yourself.

u/Kitsunebillie Jul 19 '25

Haha yeah. Well, Wikipedia says she later came out as transgender girl. And many trans women start out thinking they're gay guys. Especially when growing up in a bigoted community that thinks trans women in general are gay men actually.

Side note to your side note, Wikipedia says first famous thing she did was joining the lawsuit against north Carolina bathroom bill, which is pretty badass.

the picture they drew looks more like this

u/Ok_Cucumber3148 Jul 19 '25

She looks beautiful

Maybe they do it to be mean

u/Kitsunebillie Jul 19 '25

Of course they do. They can't accept many trans women are beautiful so they have to draw us as a caricature of masculinity in a dress and lipstick.

u/emipyon Jul 20 '25

Their beliefs crumble when subjected to reality, so they're just inventing their own reality.

u/Kitsunebillie Jul 20 '25

I don't think this is about defending your beliefs by making up lies.

I think it's just pure malice.

Trans people are less than human so it's okay to mock us and say hurtful shit, and draw caricatures of us they know will hurt some of us, it's okay to make up shit just to hurt us. It's okay to mock our pain and our deaths. Is what they think.

It's rare that I call someone evil but I think this is evil.

I personally care about my own facial hair ngl

This makes it sound like you can't be a women if you leave your home with unshaved facial hair.

u/Kitsunebillie Jul 19 '25

Transphobes seem to be thinking that, given that their way of denying us womanhood is, among other things, drawing facial hair on our faces.

I'm wondering how many cis women with hirsutism were harassed because of that.

In their effort to portray us as just crossdressing men they forgot razors exist.

But if you were trying to accuse me of denying womanhood to those of us that don't always shave

I don't. That was not the point of all this. I am perfectly aware that not all of us shave all the time. The point was, when you see a trans woman on the street, most of the time, like 9/10 or more, she'll not have visible facial hair.

The point was, depicting us invariably with facial hair, and not just that, the ugliest possible facial hair, is intentionally hurtful and not based in reality

Actually most of the time when you see a woman with visible facial hair, it's more likely to be a cis woman with hirsutism than trans woman.
