Like, I don't care about right wing people doing this, but if you're a Trans woman doing it to another Trans woman. Why? You are not reading me. This isn't Paris is Burning. You are a programmer.

I'm a nonpassing trans person with 15 years of hrt. It sucks but it happens. I'd rather be friends with a beautiful mind then a dumb mean person. Those trans people are just Republicans. Ignore those ghouls.
Every website's been bad about this for a while but there's something about bluesky in particular that it is just just overrun with unsolicited opinions & it's getting worse daily

I think there's a disconnect where trans women, especially those in jobs that give them a certain amount of financial freedom and autonomy, think that they're helping by telling other people how to be women when actually they're forcing their own internalized misogyny on others.
they're under a delusion that if we just act a certain way that the worst bigots won't still target us because their status insulates them somewhat from the reality a lot of us face. I do believe it's well intentioned but it doesn't mean it doesn't feel awful and make them look ridiculous.
My mom once had spinach in her teeth and when she asked her friend why they didn’t tell her the friend said “I thought you wanted it there” which is a fascinating take, but also….this attitude could help many folks.
Its a time and place thing i think like dont tell someone "hey you forgot to shave and it looks like youve got a neckbeard" in public, like say that when they can shave
I used to ho by my rule, if you wouldn't do it to Mike Tyson then don't do it to anyone else. Recently I have been searching for a different anti-hero.
There's a lot of extremely poorly behaved new accounts right now that are following people for the first time and are routinely saying some not ok stuff.
yeah was gonna say like. depends on the situation cause some stuff are just things people forget lol like "you missed a spot while shaving" and "you got stuff on your face/lip" arent attacking theyre just reminders
I feel like appearances are such a difficult subject even when you're WITH someone in real life you trust in the first place giving you advice you ASKED for. Not sure what a random internet stranger thinks they're gonna do giving advice off of a picture
unfortunately, i'm the philosophy grad student flavor of trans, the far less employable and far more annoying counterpart. i cannot help this. however, i try to balance this by being normal to strangers, so you know. I do my part
Being trans isn't inherently virtuous, there are judgemental nasty people in every community regardless of how similar they seem to you. Don't listen to them, know your worth! 🙂
