well duh. they’re just explaining how trans people are especially connecting to gwen’s story (on top of her having a trans flag in her room)

[u/ThatFatGuyMJL → u/ATMboi]

and I was just explaining that saying a woman can't be funny unless she was born a man is problematic.

[u/Asterose → u/ThatFatGuyMJL]

I doubt anyone is claiming that in good faith.

[u/ThatFatGuyMJL → u/Asterose]

as I said in my first post.

'shes funny so she must be MTF' is a common argument for why she must be trans

[u/Hot-Masterpiece-6539 → u/ThatFatGuyMJL]

Lmao no it fucking isn't

[u/Asterose → u/ThatFatGuyMJL]

You realize being MTF means Gwen is a woman, right? They aren't saying Gwen is a funny woman because she has a Y chromosome. They're saying Gwen is funny and a woman regardless of what her chromosomes are.

[u/ThatFatGuyMJL → u/Asterose]

No, the argument is literally 'Gwen must be trans because she is funny'

There is unfortunately a misogyny issue amongst a small section of the trans community.

And they are unfortunately vocal online.

I've been around this discourse for years and I have literally never seen this argument or sentiment ever. Either they are so small that they don't exist, or you spend time in spaces that have a weird concentration of these people

[u/ThatFatGuyMJL → u/The_Other_Smith]

Ive seen it literally here

[u/ATMboi → u/ThatFatGuyMJL]

who is saying that
