    i get weird vibes from so many of the trans influencers that get traction, like there are a few who are good but idk

    also maybe this is just me being old or something, but along those lines there's something about the 'doll' stuff that's gotten popular that gives me the ick idk

      Not sure what you mean about the doll stuff? I only know that as a slightly-older term for trans women

        it's a slightly older term that's coming back around with the younger generation on TikTok, and idk personally the implications of being 'plastic', of being fake or being a toy or just generally being a term that is slightly dehumanising is what's getting me

        like, i'm not about to start pulling people up about it or anything, it's on-going discourse and i can't always expect everything to be stuff im comfortable with but it really is just one of those older terms that I think should've stayed old
