when a trans woman says they hate drag they’re probably not talking about the history of it as an opportunity for trans women, especially twoc, to publicly celebrate their femininity. they’re talking about white cis misogynist men wearing us like a halloween costume and spitting on our heritage and getting praised by cis liberals for being “progressive”
Can someone help me understand I wanna cry to ..I feel something went over my head
The woman in the bathroom is trans and is scared that if she comes out of the stall the women that walked in will insult or harass her. but when she comes out they compliment her on her dress instead. The add ends with saying “stress tested for women.” It means Secret is including trans women in their definition of women.
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTANDING THIS COMIC: this is part of a serious autobio series I started months back to document my gender transition. These took place months ago, during the early days, when I was very visibly trans. I’d only been on hormones for 5 months.
Having other people around who accept you for you is so incredibly validating and was key to my mental wellbeing early on. I’m very fortunate. Many aren’t so lucky, making transitioning even more stressful to go through.
