On a photo of a trans man in drag

am I seeing a genuine "we can always tell" comment on r/AccidentalAlly

Wow.

Fun fact! Any time you are tempted to use the phrase "usually always," that's a sign that you should think more about what you're trying to say.

You need to lookup survivor bias

Survivorship bias. You don’t see any passing trans people because they just look like cis people to you (and they typically don’t tell the “we can always tell” crowd). On top of that, placebo effect. Once you know someone is trans, (wether it’s true or not), you’re more likely to notice and imagine features of the other gender.

I mean, clearly not given the amount of people that think they can tell, yet always seem to mistake the cisgenders as trans and us transgenders as cis.

Wow, you know an actor who was out about being trans was trans? That feels like such a feat. How many other things can you know about people when they tell you?

Even then, you do realize that there have literally been trans people in movies and shows for years who haven't told anyone, right? So statistically speaking, no it isn't "usually always" obvious. I doubt it was actually obvious in this case either, but you just happened to be right when you went online to verify or not.

Confirmation bias dumbass. You've seen hundreds of trans people IRL and never "noticed" because you can't always tell.

Btw Alot of people love to forget/deny that Nazis targeted trans people too like this (looking at you Rowling)

I'm sure your use of resources has been worse

I can only hope that people will stop caring when we reach that point, but my feelings will be "oh well" exactly how they are now. It would suck that even at that point, being trans still has attatched struggles, but if that's how people feel, any attempt to forcibly change their mind would be ineffective and unethical

Everyone has sexual preferences, like some people only find muscular people hot, some only find skinny people hot, some only find fat people hot and some only find CIS people hot. As long as it doesn't come from a place of hatred then live and let live. It'd be like forcing a gay man to date a CIS woman, in the way that it's just preference and orientation.

No I just have a disorder lmao

Nah, that’s just the bugs in our skin

Yes OP has

We're also guaranteed to get back problems at a certain age due to how our spines evolved to fit walking on 2 legs

Our eyes are shit, even when they work perfectly; compare to raptor or cephalopod eyes and we got screwed. Our hips and knees break down as we age because they're fighting gravity for years, kinda ruins that stamina thing eventually. Our teeth are ridiculously fragile and blunted compared to other teeth just in the ape family, let alone other animals that constantly grow new teeth and never suffer from decay. The same genes that give us larger brains than average are also why we can get brain cancer. Half of us have infection-prone mucus membranes right next to waste disposal, and the other half have urinary tracts running through a gland that will enlarge with age. Most mammals don't have a menstrual cycle, they have an estrous cycle where they reabsorb the blood instead of releasing it with painful cramping, so we got absolutely screwed there, too. Where a lot of animals are literally born developed enough walk, humans are born undercooked and absolutely helpless, and yet still nearly too big for our birth canals. I could go on. I know the species is doing fine, but that doesn't mean we're not extremely fragile and squishy in numerous ways.

it will always be funny how these bigots are so clueless they circle around to being an ally

Damn these bots are getting bad tf

Eddie is so hot holy shit

Pretty sure op is a bot too
