I don’t think the point of that comparison is to put down trans people. It’s just pointing out that the same actions that trans people are criticized for are praised in another context.
it does get praised?
look how right wingers glaze clavicular
I… don’t think saying looksmaxxing is in some way trans is meant as an insult? The way we tend to think of gender dysphoria is as a diagnosis specifically meant for people experiencing a different gender than the one assigned to them at birth, ie. trans people. A lot of people are now starting to point out that dysphoria is experienced by a lot of cis people as well. Although I suppose the guy in the comic almost definitely exists and I don’t want to run defense for him so: fuck that guy.
The point the comic is making (Old meme, unedited):
Like the rainbow murals of Trump making out with Putin, where the focus of the art is clearly meant to be a gross-out effect.
Yes, but the point the comic portrays wrong is that it is not about the gender affirming care, but about the hypocrisy.
If you use it, then I don’t have a problem with that. Just shut up and let other people use it as well.
Was that supposed to be gross? I thought it was just symbolising how pro-putin the trumby is
I see how it would have an additional gross-out effect for bigots looking at it, but is that really what was intended by the piece?
Given Putin’s stance on LGBT issues, yeah I’d be surprised if it wasn’t partly intended. Kinda playing to “loud homophobe is secretly gay” trope.
Pointing out that cis people get gender affirming care is not meant to degrade them but point out that it’s normal and usually not scrutinised.
