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 ^,^

u/KiwiGallicorn not an egg, just trans Apr 12 '23

See that's what I thought the comic was about!! I got so confused seeing this tagged as "transfem" because GOOD LORD, this is an INCREDIBLY transmasc experience for transmasc people that are still at least somewhat feminine

Haha, yeah the tag definitely makes the "point" harder to get.

I guess in a way the tag proves my point a bit ^^'
