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.

    I wouldn’t have called you an asshole until I read this comment! Really makes it seem like the whole post was more about ranting about your freedoms and those sensitive transgenders than a genuine inquiry into the lived experiences of trans guys, you know? Especially considering no one has said anything yet apart from yourself.

    In case anyone reading this is actually having questions about the content of the main post, OPs anecdotes are not representative of trans men as a whole. Those who choose to present that way do so for a myriad of reasons, just as the cis men who present that way do. Would you be asking yourself these same questions about cis men? Trans people get shit if they try “too hard” to conform to gender stereotypes and also get shit if they don’t conform enough.

      Except the problem with your response is that - nobody including I is making this up to be a big deal issue. You’re just pulling strawmen out of your ass to victimize yourself over.
