Labeling idols as transgender because of their features & to fit your ideals (?) [RANT]

[seokii]

Honestly I can't help but feel like a lot of the people who do this are frankly too young or inexperienced to grasp why this is an inappropriate thing to do

I think it's great that communities on the net are so trans and LGBTQIA friendly, but I think they get almost obsessed with trying to not appear transphobic, queerphobic etc to the point that they're blind to the fact that this is, in fact..... *drumroll* misgendering.

They use the "you're being transphobic" defense to shield themselves from any criticism that the shit they're doing is bizarre and inappropriate. It's immature. All I can hope is that these people grow up and realize it tbh

I don't know why these people can't just latch onto androgynous aesthetic representation as a cool and fun thing to appreciate instead of stuffing it all into the "they're trans!" box. The more I think about it, the more backwards it is.
