No.
It is an image that suggests that no matter how old you are, there is still time to transition to your true gender. That you will be happier being your prefered gender than trying to just live by in your current gender.
There has been discussions over Shen's possible transness.
It is.
Yet, many a trans people doesn't realize they are trans until adulthood because they feel "had no signs" growing up.
Pointing out that someones behaviour could be trans tries to open the possibility they haven't considered.
Until he does state he isn't trans, these people will persist asking.
Hey I don't think this joke is very appropriate?
I get the idea but when you use language implying you're misgendering them on purpose to break them down that potentially crosses a line
Agreed. It is a very parasocial thing to say about an artist you don't know. As a trans person myself, I wish people weren't so fucking weird about shen.
I know when they said "break" it's an egg joke but that is still misgendering to act like it's a foregone conclusion.
I'm trans so I could be projecting but I know from experience that joking about other people being eggs can be hurtful if they're happy with their identity.
Yeah, I literally saw a thread of replies to one of shen's comics saying 'just take estrogen already'. Not 'hey have you thought about?' but outright telling someone else their gender. I think that it is inappropriate at this point.
This is transphobic harassment. He has stated openly he does not wish to speak on these matters. Stop trying to find people to out and/or harass and just get a life.
why is reluctant hero™ there?
is this Woman Shen-style Idiot Counterpart a danger to society? does their combined lack of intelligence pose a threat to the average human's way of life?
