      Everyone just looking to demonize trans people makes me feel so hopeless. I'm so excited about the possibility of actually transitioning and being happy with it and then... there's this.

          Nah, want way more than this. I want to completely undermine their way of life by simply existing

          I know kitty-cri I don't know how this is ever supposed to work itself out. People hate minorities. I just want to be left alone and get headpats too.

          And yea, same. You all are who I have.

      I have long hair and a beard and mustache. Plenty of reasons why a trans person might. For me, it's a combination of hiding I'm trans, laziness, sensitive skin that makes shaving more annoying, and not having time for laser during the summer because work.

      But some people like that kind of gender fuckery.

      Otoh, a lot of transphobes imagine trans women as just guys wearing women's clothes, so they probably don't get the nuance to even consider why a transfem person would have a beard or get how fear of violence against all trans people could potentially motivate someone to act in self defense like this...

        Yeah, I know, as most of us do here. meow-hug

        For the fucking losers the only "trans" person that exists is, like you said, a man in a dress. Their minds would be blown if you told them that trans-men exist
