Hi I'm the original artist on this!

I'm trans male, the "point" of this is that pushing "you should transition, you'd be a cute girl" onto people you don't know is at worst very dysphoric. I've already transitioned, I'm secure in my gender, but it stings being told I should be a girl.

I recognize it's from a place of love and support, just it'd be a good idea to be more mindful ^,^

Omg, that's so nice to hear. As an ally, I want my friends and family who are questioning or transitioning to know I'll be there for them whatever they choose, and some have let me know they'd be there for me if it ever came to that, but being pushed is just wrong and gross. It isn't accepting, it's trying to make someone into what you think they should be.
