Fuck I want a shirt that says ‘tomboy respecter’, that’s fire
I swear this is what it boils down to for like 70% of the vocal anti trans people I know.
They are mad about Bridget because now that she’s actually identifying as a girl and is not a dude pretending to be a girl they can’t jack off to her anymore and I will never for the life of me understand the mental hoops that requires or how these are the same people talking about trans people grooming
Please explain this kind of sexuality to me. :jesse-wtf: I just like what I like, what are these people smoking?
I can’t tell how many layers of irony are happening here.
I think the original comic is ironic, cribs Kelly’s style too much not to be.
The biggest tomboy I knew did end up as a trans man though.
My godfather - a very normal Irish Catholic guy who liked to fish and play board games and dressed/acted like everyone else - moved to the UK five years ago and become a trans-woman.
My tomboy college friend road motorcycles and spent ten years studying gekkos in the Australian Outback and ended up starting a farm with a couple of her boyfriends, but was otherwise as cis-het a person as you’ll ever meet.
Yeah I realize people contain multitudes, I just haven’t heard the “all tomboys are lesbians or trans” rhetoric before.
I mean, I’ve heard all kinds of shit. People generally tend to assume that whatever thing they are is the “real” sexual/gender expression and everyone else is just faking it. So you get some first/second wave feminists taking the stance that all straight sex is functionally rape (because who would ever voluntarily fuck a dude?!) and orthodox Christians insisting any violation of taboo is literally demonic possession and trans-folks bucketing virtually every cis-person they meet as either chaser or egg.
“You’re an X and you just don’t realize it yet” is a very routine sentiment, particularly from people who have just come out of the closet.
