it's cause trans people are generally terrified when they're coming out and ready to pull a deer and bolt out of the room at the first sign of trouble. now that I've been out for years, coming out is whatever and I could handle a party, but I couldn't have handled it was fresh.
Would you be less terrified of possible transphobic pushback if you had rigged all your interlocutors up to explosives with an explosion in the trans colors
hmm, I think I'd be terrified of accidentally setting them off if it turned out they weren't transphobic but I got too fidgety or excited at their response. can I leave the trigger in the hands of a trusted trans mentor?
Okay so we have a group of people building improvised explosives to send up pink and cyan smoke into the air, to reveal a gender identity and it's not trans people
At this point in my life, they'd probably be vegan pot brownies instead of cake. Unless someone can find me a solid German Choc vegan recipe. There's still be pot tho. And Yellow Tail cab because I'm poor.
The fact that gender reveal parties aren't a trans thing is a failure on the part of trans and cis alike

I think that would be fine. But I think you're socially obligated to help others rig up their explosives at that point.
ofc, at this point I'm the trans mentor more than the baby trans anyway
Still safer than a cis gender reveal party.
That means you must make more explosives.

I'm cis but if I was trans and came out you bet your sweet ass we'd have a reveal party with cake and cocktails.
I'm always down for cake and cocktails whatever the occasion

Edibles just make me cold and anxious
They will be totally optional :)
Cool I'll just get blasted then
