Gaslight them by telling you’re actually a trans guy, not a trans woman
Let’s be real, they don’t know what a trans guy is.
lets be even realer, i am pretty sure they think trans man is another word for trans woman, because they dont comprehend, shit about shit
I don’t even know the difference. I’m not sure if it means the person changed from one or the other gender. Maybe trans man means was a woman? Idk man.
But at least someone taught me that you can put (gender neutral) before phrases to not offend people, and I was cool with being called girliepop.
ok, so this is very simple. trans women are women. trans men are men. you can tell because it says woman and man respectively :3
many trans people feel really really bad when u call them a gender they are not (i mean, many cis (non-trans) people do too…), so calling a trans woman (someone who is a woman), a man in any way, will probably hurt them, and they would probably not call themselves a man.
on that note, please do not “idk man” me. i’m a genderless demon, here to explain gender to u and i dont enjoy being called a man, even in passing ;3
I mean, I’d say idk man to a woman too, because it’s just a crutch word at this point. But some people actively dig for something to be offended by.
Literally, I’ve had to explain to allies that didn’t understand which is which, a bigot won’t even understand that level of nuance
“It doesn’t matter how hard you pretend, you’ll never be a real w-… umm… ma-… umm?”
