[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My best friend just let me know that my college boyfriend came out as trans. Mind you, this is someone I dated 20+ years ago but I’m a bit in shock. I myself am bi, so maybe this makes sense, but he never struck me as [b]effeminate[/b] in any way.

Has anyone else btdt? How do I process this?

(I’m happily married and that relationship ended really poorly, but it was my first serious relationship and I’m just in shock right now) [/quote]

Effeminate?!
What makes you so misogynistic/ anti-feminist that you automatically assume that a defining characteristic of womanhood is “displaying feminine” traits or “acting effeminate”? Seems like if this is a requirement of identifying as trans, then we’ve taken a giant step backward, no?
How is that not just leaning into stereotypes that feminist women have been fighting against for years??
Being a trans woman is not “play-acting” as a woman by walking with in heels with a limp wrist and a cute little head tilt.
Please do a little reflection and educate yourself, OP.[/quote]
