I do find it odd that the US is much more accepting of gay people and gay relationships than countries like Japan and South Korea are, but we have more stringent gender expression rules at the same time.I think I've talked about it before but this always astounds me, how the so called "less tolerable" cultures who need to be educated by the west are more accepting of GNC than the west is.
Kpop is prime example, I know lots of you probably love to dunk on it because the men look feminine but isn't that kind of the point? They wear makeup, dance, and have an interest in fashion, yet no one doubts their masculinity. And none of them feel the need to troon out.
Same goes with Japanese streetwear culture, those guys don't give a shit, you walk down Harajuku enough and you're bound to come across guys wearing "girl" clothes for the sake of fashion, not to make some statement about gender politics. And that's not even to mention that historically men wore what would be considered feminine clothes today, from across all cultures, not just east Asia. Kimonos are worn by both men and women, during the renaissance men wore tights and heels, and many historical Muslim men used make up around their eyes. No one fucking cares (or cared, at least) about traditional western values yet these people have the audacity to whine about muh gender stereotypes while perpetuating the exact same thing lol.
Anyway, nothing brings me more joy than the knowledge cis Korean men who are more likely than not transphobes pass better than actual troons. Cope and seethe

Extra: some words of wisdom from our Based fashion lord and savior Choi Minki (guy on the right) when a reporter called him a girl for some ads where he wore a skirt:

If only TRAs would take note
Seeing K-pop and J-pop, guys in those countries can look and act much more cutesy and feminine and people like it, but many people would tells guys in the US who are more on the feminine side to transition.
