I’m going to post this because I agree passionately with the sentiment, but also as a moment to ponder a thought that’s been sitting on my chest for a while. Often in the deep end of the LGBT crew you see portrayal of ftm transgender people as this group facing a noble struggle and just trying to fit into the community. Mtf transitional folks get this sort of scandalous rep that’s not that nice at all. I can only think of a few choice times I’ve seen pre or post operation non-cis-gender females being played up in the same way that males are. There’s this whole drag queen scene there and I hate it. I just want to see media coverage of people born men but living as females, passing, looking beautiful, and not making a spectacle or exaggeration of the gender.
