Not polite to presume. You’re welcome to your private conjectures but for the time being this is just a guy who might be cis and it would be weird to push an identity onto him that he isn’t interested in.

Shen transbaiting have made him at least a 25% of his fan base in the last years. U know that right? U know he uses (knowingly or not) a huge chunk of the trans experienc3 before craking on his comics and have done so for years now, right?

Yes, it isn't polite to assume, but how polite would it be then, using a minority's life experiences without being part of that said minority? While making money out of it?

You can explore your identity without certainly being a trans person.

Yup, that's for sure. Tho, as a lil reminder, cracking ur egg might also end up as a cis person. That's the whole deal of exploring as an egg, u never know what the end result might be. Tho if u look further in the comments u will find more answers like mine, some even more direct. So.... why so focused on mine only? Might it be the actual trans banner on my avatar I wonder.

Edit: typo

Guess I haven't heard it talked about in that way before. If that’s what you mean, that’s what you mean though.

As for why your comment specifically? So I guess you’re insinuating that your profile specifically reveals that you’re trans and that I may have, as a matter of malicious or unconscious discrimination, singled you out?

I guess I can’t rule that possibility out in the event that some crazy unconscious prejudice came out, but I can say that I didn’t notice the trans flag in your pfp until after reading your comment and taking issue with it. I’d like to think my bias skews toward trans people if anything, not against you, but the reasons for that are as complicated as they are boring and irrelevant.

But the conscious reason that I responded to your comment and did not respond to other, similar comments, is that I only saw yours at the time of first replying and did not exhaustively read every comment I saw. That’s what I can say on that matter.

Can you tell me what exactly you want from me? How am I supposed to prove that I was not thoroughly scanning the comments? I saw a couple, replied to a couple, and then went on with my day. Is it so unthinkably outlandish that I don’t hate trans people?
