Oscar Wilde. Harvey Milk. Elaine Noble. Marlene Dietrich. All trans. /s

But, for reals, give it five years and they’ll probably be saying this in complete seriousness.

The worst one I've seen is many, many people claiming that Alan Turing was trans because he had 'chose to have HRT'. Never mind the fact that it was forced chemical castration that utterly destroyed him both physically and mentally.

It was honestly heartbreaking the first time I saw them claim it but they keep citing each other and eventually it'll end up in a Newspaper and then considered factual and we'll be bigots for saying he should have never been tortured like that.

That really irritates me, he committed suicide because he couldn't live with chemical castration and being forced to renounce his homosexuality, transing him retroactively is fucking horrible.

The funny thing about Tom of Finland is that I saw him being mentioned by the TQ supporters recently (not the TQ themselves, though).

It was a Twitter thread some time ago complaining about the "masc4masc" gays. They mentioned that the model of masculinity that these masc4masc gays follow nowadays is derived from Tom of Finland's works, and that they owe everything to "us". "Us" in this case being the "feminine" men. Obviously when they say feminine men they aren't talking about actually feminine or androgynous men, but rather about the kind of effeminate men who try to emulate drag queen and support TQ.

I couldn't believe that they could be so blind to what they were saying. They were actually using Tom of Finland, a man that spent years creating unapologetically cis gay sexual imagery, for the "you owe it all to us" line. If Tom of Finland lived nowadays and was popular enough, they'd be the first ones to cancel the guy complaining that he doesn't draw trans men, that he doesn't draw effeminate men, etc.

Holy shit. That is actually nuts. I don’t even know where to begin.
