    Same is true for men/women who exhibit strong/exaggerated secondary sexual characteristics. Often it is viewed as inviting sexual harassment under the ‘they were asking for it’ stupidly.

    I think there is a lot of overlap too, with people’s perceptions of trans presentation and say bimbofication, like they see your presentation as necessarily trying to call attention to yourself. And yeah for some really douchey people they see someone in wheelchair or etc as doing the same thing and for some reason it gets them angry for having to perceive difference in others.

      Its almost like a form of OCD where they hyper fixate on something that is different that entered toeir awareness and then they become upset that they are hyperfixated on it and blame the person.

      But also, unpopular opinion, but I do think there has been a large adoption of the patriarchal feminine archetypes in the trans community of trying to adopt that hyper femininity that grosses me out. You shouldn’t be inspired by the sex dolls of men to be a woman.

        Oh hey, yeah I have noticed a lot of that too. People do weirdly feel the need to police other people’s body parts. A lot of the straight/bi women I have dated are particularly nasty about this and will make casual commentary about strangers presentation or bodies, and it’s a total double standard if I did that.

        Trans community has it’s own massive issues internally. I have noticed also there is way more support and positivity for MtF than there is for FtM, and a lot of really hostile commentary on other people’s stage of transition, or their sexuality.

        Sometimes I wonder, there does seem to be a cultural obsession with gatekeeping femininity and the so-called privileges of it, and yet nobody is seeking the privileges of masculinity. There is also a huge uptick in gender sentimentalism for cis people in bother presentation and gender roles, with those of us who don’t focus on such things as being considered less than.
