I'm not an egg anymore, but I found this meme I made several years ago when looking through an old hard drive and wanted to put it on Lemmy.
Image description: Top text says "Me: 100% totally cis male." Bottom text says "Also me: A girl with girl stuff and girl hair and girl clothes." The bottom part is actually an image of a Minecraft skin that is posted on Planet Minecraft.
The fact that I haven't realized sooner why playing all my games as a girl felt so great is astounding
When I was younger I always played all my games as a boy, but in every single one I hated the way my character looked. The few times I did play as a girl I really liked it. I'm also astonished at myself for not realizing sooner lol.
How does this assume the viewer is trans femme? These content warnings in the title are so stupid
Also me: a girl
As far as I am aware, it is because lemmy has no flairs, and this makes it easier to look for memes with a specific audience.
I think what they mean is that trying to argue that a person playing a girl character makes them a girl, regardless of their identity is the part they don't agree with. I agree with them on that (if that is the case) I do not believe that actions by a person can make one semantically trans, I believe (as do most decent people) that the way a person identifies is what determines gender identity, and trying to go against that is hurtful and invalidating.
I acknowledge that this meme is a person calling themselves out, but it sets a chilling precedent for invalidating Gender Non-conforming people, who almost certainly will do things like this that step way outside of gender stereotypes, yet they still fully identify as male. It invalidates them because it's in a sense saying that their actions make the way they identify invalid, that's what saying someone is trans in-denial does, it invalidates their current identity based on their actions.
fun story: way back when i was younger (i dunno like 8-13) i used to have this velvet red dress that i absolutely loved wearing when i did anything even though i didnt know what trans was.
i stíll wish i had that dress :(
