That prev post reminded me how much it weirds me tf out when someone only interacts with specific subsets of a minority group and learns their associated niche behavior patterns, and then tries to apply those patterns to every member of that minority that they meet afterwards only to be shocked when it doesn’t work.

#my stuff #i went to a queer group a while ago to make friends and the only two other transfems were both way more shy and feminine and reclusive than #and these two had been attending for a while so they were everybody else’s baseline for transfems #this is not the other transfems fault to be clear they’re just giving #*VIBING #and then i show up looking like i spilled out of a metal concert and slapped on the she/her sticker it got me some looks #like ohhhh you think all trans girls grow their hair out and wear pink and play 1 billion hour final fantasy i see how it is #ohhhh you have preconceived notions of what trans womanhood looks like #surprise i wear band shirts and a leather jacket 6/7 days a week i cuss and take up space and have mostly guy friends #and that doesn’t make me any less of a woman
