Several transgenders who I know, always envision themselves with like goatees and other typical attributes that shape them into this trucker guy look.

And I just don’t get it and spare me the whole “that’s just what they wanna be” responses. Because, there are other male models to ideally go for than just that. I personally don’t find the look attractive myself so I can’t really care that they go this direction.

That isn’t all that a guy is anyways, that isn’t even what it usually takes to look like a guy.

    No because that’s not the focal point of the question. For fuck sakes, it’s responses like this, that demeans and just shits all over any honest questions that could be asked. You turn into this fictitious strawman of a scenario where you think people are asking you more than just the question I posted here. You’re assuming people are going to be like that which, by the way, is ironically a stereotypical behavior in of itself.

    People could be asking things out of curiosity or sheer innocence. It’s YOU being the one making it personal. Remember that - YOU.

    If a child ever asked the same question I just did from the title of this post, are you going to berate them the same? I sure as fuck hope you wouldn’t.

      I understand that and that’s how I responded. Again, ask yourself why men choose adopt this look. Why do you believe trans people are different?
