Because he's more feminine in his personality and looks, that's their logic with their stupid fucking trans headcanons, and that technically is offensive to trans people
This was pages and pages back, but this is what I really don't understand about the attitude so many Tumblrites have towards gender. They think that if someone is biologically male but stereotypically feminine in appearance or behaviour (and vice versa), then they
must be trans. You can't simply be a man who acts girly, or a woman who acts macho -- you have to either be trans, or be in denial about being trans.
And what gets me every time is that this group tout themselves as being open-minded progressives looking to deconstruct gender roles, but in reality, all they ever seem to do is actively promote and reinforce them. When you refuse to accept that a man can't just act girly or a woman can't just act macho, then the implication is that you think that "male" traits belong strictly to men and "female" traits belong strictly to women. In this aspect, their views on gender almost bear more resemblance to those of religious fundamentalists than ordinary people.
Like, if you're a man and you're quiet, wear dresses, or like feeling pretty, then you must really want to be a woman because they are all categorically Woman Things; and likewise, if you're a woman and you're loud, wear suits, or like feeling strong, then you must really want to be a man because those are Man Things. It's bullshit. It's insulting to
actual trans people, because there's a world of difference between "engaging in behaviour usually attributed to the opposite sex" and "feeling as though you were literally born in the wrong body."
It's so, so true what they say about the political spectrum being circular, not linear. These people are so hard left that in some regards, they've looped back round to being on the far right. I'm reminded of that one Tumblr post where someone wondered how much shit black people must have to put up with from their white friends, and then someone else pointed out that the real translation of this was basically "Black people and white people shouldn't be friends with each other."
It's a load of bins.
