Transcript: A girl is standing in front of a trans flag. She is wearing a sweater with the trans flag colors and has cat ears. A caption above the image reads: "React with the sparkling heart emoji if you love girl bulge, or hate late stage capitalist imperialism".

Isn’t it really insensitive to point out a trans girls’ penis? Like I can only imagine having transitioned successfully in every other way, feeling almost completely comfortable with your body… but then someone sees your bulge and just has to remind you of your balls and triggering dysmorphic feelings. Rude much?

While I’m in questioning rant mode: What’s with the thing of calling people trans+gender in the first place? Is a trans girl not allowed to just be a girl?

I’m sure many people have good intentions, but it really feels like accidental mean behavior to spotlight something that should be between partners, doctors, and close friends/family who can be trusted keep reminding someone they were born into a body that felt wrong.

Pardon my rant. Just confused/frustrated at some things.

I used to be impartial to mine, almost wanted both (eg penile preservation vaginoplasty), but lately I just want it gone. I may have liked my bulge at some point, but the harassment and death threats make it a very tenuous living situation.
