Except AGP will probably hate that ad because he's obviously a man, and you are not supposed to remind them that they look like that instead of the kawaii uguu anime fantasy in their head. I think this is more aimed at well meaning liberal 'cishet' people who get excited at the thought of transsexuals 'being true to themselves' because they don't know what that actually means.

It seems like some of them legitimately can't see the difference. It's like that brain disorder some people have where they can't see faces. They put on a ridiculous woman mask then post selfies acting like they really think no one can tell.

How many of those posts exist where you have a FtM outraged with a post like "HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I LOOKED LIKE THIS AND AN ENTIRE KINDERGARTEN CLASS KEPT CALLING ME A MAN?!?!!" And you have a guy looking like that photo alongside the post

It's like the Dunning-Kruger effect. Like how every artist community has amateurs posting atrociously bad art and getting offended by critique because they are not good enough at what they're doing to see how much they suck.
