      yes and half of the trans people on tumblr call themselves trannies.
      the difference is the same as watching a movie with flashing lights after sitting through the epilepsy warning and getting your brain actually blasted by the day 1 cyberpunk 2077 braindance cutscene. one’s a choice, the other just happens to you.

          and people like you are exactly why content warnings should be standard and why every site/app with user generated content should have a word filter option.
          that said, your discomfort should not prohibit others from expressing themselves

                  there’s other trans communities and other social norms online than r/mtf on reddit. People should be allowed to call themselves what they like imo, and you should probably try to make sure of the user’s actual stance before policing their language.

      Reversal of stigma is a common phenomenon among minority groups. That doesn’t mean it’s okay to use the term when you’re not part of the group.
