I really hate them using the words twink & twunk. Straight up cultural appropriation.

Also honey, you missed your chance. 25 is already a little too long in the tooth to start calling yourself a twink or a twunk.

On a side note a lot of FTMs have these glasses, is it to try to hide their feminine brow line ? Last night on grindr, in the who's viewed you tab, I was able to clock a FTM because I saw a round face with these glasses.

Dunno. MTFs are also inordinately fond of glasses, especially if they have an ice cube's chance in Hell of passing. Graham Linehan does a beautiful and on-point take-off of the glasses + head tilt = coy transbian motif.

Considering how many of these people, both MtF & FtM's, tend to be weeaboos(foreigners obsessed with Japanese cartoons((anime)) and their perceived reality of Japanese life culture), it wouldn't surprise me if part of the reason they wear glasses so much is also in part due to the whole "megane" glasses fetish trope that's very prevalent in the JPN r-18 doujin/hentai scene.

This is where many people in the trans community I've seen get the "inspiration" to transition from to begin with. Especially those with fixations of slice of life/echii works.
