He just turned the chick on the right into a retroactive lesbian. Whatever happened to consent?

But, but she was always a lesbian because her partner was always a woman. Check mate!

Why even bother at this point? Why not just clip out a picture of 25 year old Jennifer Connelly and just say it’s what you “identify” as? It’s about as honest. I’m only being a little facetious. If it’s okay to re identify yourself because you were “born in the wrong body,” why can’t I say that I identify as Enrique Iglesias (yeah, I’m a Hispanic dude, so why not?)?

This is where it all falls apart for me. We don’t all get to be Chris Hemsworth and Taylor Swift. That’s the bottom line. We don’t all get to be hardcore warriors or pretty princesses. How you feel or identify just doesn’t override reality. In fact, the more you consider it, the sadder and harder it becomes to go along with.

It needs to override reality. But everyone is so loyal to the system that they convince themselves either that it doesn't need to or that it already does.

Not much in the way of a portfolio. The work on the kid in the bathtub made me genuinely LOL. Note the hunchback and the arm that appears surgically reattached.

F'n gender carpentry, Christ.

This is what that term immediately brings to mind.

Damn, but that is some bonafide MiniTrue work right there.

Also, the boy in that picture looks like he's wearing a skinsuit in the edit. Buffalo Bill is in the house, Alexa play Goodbye Horses!

This would be great to prank someone.
Create some interesting photos to add to a friend's wedding slides, or graduation photos.

Why do trans women always depict themselves with their bra falling off?

Their clothes just can't contain their womanliness!

The only other time I see this is anime girls. Which are known for being purposely designed as sex magnets. Which is very interesting because almost every TiM I come across is also really into anime, and mostly because of the female characters.

Could also be because women tend to have sloped shoulders rather than wide manly ones.

[–]Vulptexghost fox girl ^w^ 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

But yet it's the TiMs with wide manly ones who always have it like that.

That's not even a good photoshop. Trannies might fall for it though.

Gender carpentry, you say? You know, I'm something of a carpenter myself.

I've sent people so this to their childhood pics and that's just plain nasty.

They want to erase any images of themselves from before they transitioned, but still want people to know they are trans because of the special status.
