What trans girls hear in conversion therapy lol

Literally nobody is running around demanding that feminine cis dudes transition into women. Literally no one. Nobody is pressuring cis men to live as trans women, but the reverse sure as fuck is true.

Imagine thinking that the second a trans woman throws on a skirt, everybody and their dog trips over themselves to tells her how much of a female girl woman lady she is. Imagine thinking that trans women are so accepted in society that in the rush to correctly gender us that they’re affirming the womanhood of anyone who could potentially be a transfem.

The majority of people can’t wait for the chance to call transfems men, so I highly fucking doubt literal actual cis men are struggling to be labelled as male lol

IMO whats happening here is simple. people see trans women make egg jokes (which are essentially someone saying "haha i used to do that and so did my friends"). however, a trans woman is, in terms of social capital, the worst gender you can have. so to compare someone to a trans woman is the most gendered insult you can throw out. Now, because we want to be ostensibly accepting of trans people, we need another framwork to say its not ok to do this: misgendering. And so the egg joke gets interpreted as actual pressure to transition, complete with wording that sounds like if you asked ChatGPT to write SFW sissification. Which is ridiculous, but makes sense if you want to explain why a trans woman going "hahaha i used to do that when i was repressing" makes you deeply uncomfortable.
