God I hate the dudes that hit me up on dating apps and shit that want me to teach them makeup and how to wear dresses and shit like that. Like it’s not my job to be your personal “transgender/crossdresser gateway” it’s so infuriating, look on YouTube!!!

Cause it is so obvious that that’s what I’m being used for. Or as like some kind of therapist to vent your shit to. That isn’t my job either unless you’re paying me hourly fucker

I see people on this app trying to pull that same shit somewhat regularly and it makes me uneasy because I can never really tell at this distance whether they’re even genuinely looking for support re: coming out and/or transitioning themselves, or if they’re just trying to like, take advantage of transfeminine solidarity as a path towards getting a woman alone to coerce her into a sexual situation (or possibly both)

while on the other hand I’m also ofc wary of projecting sexually coercive vibes onto a potential pre-transition transfem in bad faith. cause I’m transmasc myself and reeeaaally do not wanna stumble my way into accepting / perpetuating transmisogynistic stereotypes, unconsciously or not

idk why this was downvoted, but I say that out of genuine interest rather than defensiveness. if my perspective on this sucks, I’m very much open to criticism / correction

YY auto-downvotes comments that say “on this *pp” or similar phrases, so I just say YY or “this site.” it’s goofy but it’s the only “censorship” we have lmao

nah, it’s just smth I’ve tested myself & seen every time someone says “on this *pp,” and I’ve seen other people say similar things. YY doesn’t even have an easily-accessible disclosure on how SideChat merged with it, and SideChat has no verification methods but connects to the same app 😭

Thank u for being open to criticism. Automatically assuming bad faith to an emerging trans woman coming on a public forum asking for help on transitioning or coming out seems like youre perpetuating the exact stereotype youre trying not to fall into

Egg's gateway to discovering their transfemininity is often through "crossdressing". Shutting these people out by assuming theyre cis chasers would cause a lot of false positives, especially of ones who dont yet know the right terminology

Its different than what OP is saying. This is a public forum built for people to reach out and for others to respond on their own accord, not DMing someone and putting the onus of educating you about what being trans is like on one specific person
