Is that...a mullet? Are those a thing again? Please say no.

But yeah, that is a very...ordinary looking person. Not fugly, but certainly not "make heads swing at the bar" either. I've often wondered how trans-identified people get their confidence, particularly MtFs who post endless selfies with captions like "looking super cute today, thought I'd share!". I know, I know: delusion. It all comes down to delusion. But also a total lack of being able to read the fucking room. The woman who wrote this article seems to misconstrue people merely glancing at the person who just walked into the bar with unbridled lust. It just blows my mind, honestly.

It 100% seems to be an inability to distinguish the differences between (1) observing, (2) looking with interest, (3) looking with confusion, and (4) looking with disgust.

She’s automatically assigning Meaning 2 to everything without considering that most of how anyone is seen in any space is Meaning 1 and without even considering Meanings 3 and 4 as possibilities.

Tbh, it seems like so much of the trans community is either so wrapped up in themselves or so oblivious to social cues that they do this a lot. It reminds me of the time a badly-passing transbian showed up at a lesbian night and thought we were all lusting after him. He couldn’t tell that every woman in the bar was skeeved out and looking at him with disdain.

Can’t speak for elsewhere but mullets are very much all the rage here down under. One prays it’s as short lived a fad as hipster beards.
