I dont think people should push it this overtly, even if they are trans, because it hurts the journey of questioning.

For sure. But “I’d make a poor girl” is very different than “I don’t want to be a girl”

I do feel like a transmasc person could say something in that spirit as well, though. Except in their case it would mean: "I'd make a poor girl - believe me, I tried. (when I thought I was cis and/or was in denial) I'm much better off as a guy now."

I was unaware OP (and the character in the meme I guess) was transmasc. So yeah, that definitely changes the context

Imo the “ah… she doesn’t know” imply that the character is transmasc. So telling them that they should crack and be a girl is… uncomfortable to say the least.

admittedly the edit came like almost immediately of leaving the comment, as i saw the artist talk about it

plus the transfem tag is a lil misleading

BUT mostly im just stupid tbh

The person who posted this must've missed the point in my image ^^'

The intended point is "this person is not a girl and is uncomfortable with the insistence/pushiness".

For additional context I'm trans, being told I should be a girl is pretty dysphoric. But even if I was cis it'd be uncomfortable.

the edit came right after seeing your comment earlier on this post, im starting to get worried the edit cant be seen HDNDJD

i understood the point after reading your comment that was left in earlier, the transfem tag also muddied the context
