A trans person's take on the stereotypical tumblr people. Thought this might be interesting for some who haven't seen this kind of perspective.

He is way too normal for this internet bullshit.
so he used to be a girl? wow he looks like a good dude.
So... Because he's trans his opinion on things matters more..? I don't get the point of this video. It's like she has shitty opinions on trans people who are doing things differently than her view of how a trans person should live their life and she got a trans friend there to "legitimize" her opinion.
not to mention they're attacking generic tumblr boogeyman it seems like.

Not to say that I even disagree with some of what they're saying. But adding in "my trans friend" feels like the equivalent of "my black friend"

Male hormones are much more powerful than female hormones when it comes to altering the way someone looks.
A female can take male hormones and very, very quickly develop a masculine look whereas a male taking female hormones would require extremely long periods of time to see the same magnitude of change.
I've seen female bodybuilders decide to use something like trenbolone to take things to the next level and look like men in just a few weeks. There's no real equivalent for males going the other way.

Attractive people with symmetrical features tend to remain attractive people with symmetrical features regardless of hormone content and levels thereof.

What she wanted was to have someone who actually knows their shit about Transgender stuff cause she didn't, and because the SJWs would dismiss her opinion as she isn't Transgender.
But I assume it's mostly because she doesn't know the ins and out of Transgender stuff.
Ya most trans men will start blending with their cis counterparts very quickly and tend to be very very cute. All they need is top surgery and testosterone does the rest. For trans women there is the process of hair removal (which takes up to 2 years or more and a lot of money) vocal changes (whether that be by surgery or through training) and breast growth which is a long process, taking around 3 years for full development. There's also the fact that testosterone will easily make your body structure more masculine, but estrogen can't reverse the effects of testosterone on the skeleton.

Yes, that's pretty much how it works

the tumblr community is pure cancer, though, and should be purged.
I'm fucking amazed we haven't had any posts yet using "tbqh fam" or spelling SJW phonetically to try and act like it isn't a valid label

Generally speaking I think it's way easier for a man to look good with a small jaw and feminine features than a woman to look good with a man jaw and big burly features, even if the latter may work well on a guy.

I'm trans too. yet I'm getting dumbed for agreeing with what they said, just disliking how she did the video.

But what about "the SJW's" that disagree with her opinion that are also trans? my whole point was putting on the precedent of "my trans friend said this so it's more than likely correct" is just a bad idea.

That's because there's nothing inherently wrong with the video.

Everyone is entitled to keep their opinion.

That's not why.
:rolleyes:
So does he still have a vagina or not? I'm just wondering if that's what trans people are.

No, you are getting dumbed for misunderstanding how the Trans Friend comes into this video, not because you agree with it.
Also the SJWs that are Trans won't agree, to them, this Transgender is just a misunderstood Child that doesn't know what they are talking about.
SJWs don't agree with the opposite side, they always disagree.
If you are a Cis White Male you won't be listened to no matter what, they will just fight you, mentally and sometimes Physically.
If you are Trans, Black, Female, you won't be listened to no matter what but they will try to convert you to their side.

We don't know if he still has a Vagina.
Most Trans tend to get Sexual Reassignment Surgery so their Genitals will be the Genitals of the opposite sex.
Some trans don't get SRS due to money reasons, or sometimes, they might not care enough and live with their Genitals.

He said he can use a urinal

I think some of the idea is to show that not all transgender people are of the she says/xi says kind.

It's a good place to get porn. Which is ironic considering the extreme left on that site.

Horse shoe theory. Some of the ultra-rad fems are more pious and anti-exposed flesh than religious social conservatives.

Generally any more, no. You're not a "real" leftist if you're not eighteen kinds of butthurt about that one time you might have seen a nipple.

Okay. Whoever you learned that from is probably not someone you should take seriously. Just saying.

What if I don't give a shit about outrage culture and the counter-outrage culture you constantly prattle on about and simply want to lead a revolution against my wagemasters and secure the means of production from the bourgeois that are bleeding the common man dry.
Pretty sure Sanders is gonna lose, so I guess you could buy a dakimakura of him to console yourself or something. *shrug*
Or move to France thirty years ago.
