i thought the smiley face made the sarcasm obvious enough
i legit was unsure if bryce was posting real women as a gotcha or proving that they could pass as women and thus were women despite the penis
no joke though, that ted talk trans woman was very attractive, can see why she was a successful model, but think it's beyond fd up that if i were to approach her at a bar and ask her out she didn't feel like disclosing she had a penis was any of my business
this "whether or not i have a penis is a personal and private matter that i don't need to disclose to people i date" is one of the third rails that will forever keep this a tricky issue
i really like how asians handle it
they are not men, nor women, they are something in between, hence why they call themselves ladyboys
they do not hide that they are a ladyboy, if they think for even a minute that you are mistaken then they'll find a tactful way to broach the subject
example:
"you have very nice eyes"
"of course, all ladyboys have nice eyes"
boom, instantly, you're aware they are hanging dong and then from that point can steer things with full knowledge of the issue and many of the people in southeast asia are expressly seeking them out
they are also widely accepted, there are "ladyboy politicians" in southeast asia, ladyboy celebrities, etc
it's not like rupaul where it's a circus act of "omg look at what the wild and crazy tranny is up to next" but they are just regular people without any over the top trans act
vs
she's reading to kids at a library, so why wearing so much makeup and a cocktail dress, what normal person would wear that to read to children at story hour? if it wasn't a trans person then a lot of the same parents who are all about how virtue signaling their progressive behavior and bring their kids to that would not bring their kids if it was a woman with a vagina reading tales like that because then suddenly she's indecent and a bad behavior
we're so focused on virtue signaling that we fail to view the behavior in a vacuum - it's absolutely sickening we're having people dressed like that for children's events and yet if you say there's something wrong with it then you are "transphobic" but if we were against stripper story hour then that's ok
i just think if we took a more progressive and reasonable asian approach of "i'm not a boy but also not a woman because i got that dong" then we could better normalize it and go about it
the trans people in asia are generally quite confident and secure individuals who are amazing to hang out with because let's be real, if you're a trans person then you've definitely led a very unique life and will have very interesting stories and perspectives on things
the trans people in the usa i've met are generally uptight and everything is a third rail and they are insecure and looking for validation hence the "you're transphobic if you don't think men can have babies" nonsense
one is a healthy "i'm different and that's ok"
one is a legitimately unhealthy and insane claim of "no, I'm actually a woman who happens to have a penis"
