Oh good, any cis-woman who happens to look more on the masculine side will be in trouble now too.
Edit: Added cis. Apologies for not doing that.
This is something I'm kind of scared of. I'm a cis woman, but I have facial hair for medical reasons. I keep it because it's what nature gave me and I kinda like how it looks, and people generally don't seem to care. I do fear, though, that I might be harassed for it someday.
I thought of this with the whole Planet Fitness fiasco. Many, many women shave their faces, but the "can always tell" crowd is so sure that they know men from women.
One of my wife's cis co-workers has a mustache. She definitely would look like "a man in a dress" to these bigoted fucks. She probably already gets harassed all the time, which is awful because she's really nice and loves working with the public (she's a librarian).
Yeah, I’m a trans woman and my girlfriend is cis but she has way more body hair than me because of our ethnicities. She’s probably safe because she has the body type of a Paleolithic fertility idol, but these people aren’t rational and that’s scary.
Like I’m also scared for myself, but I’ve been living with that fear for myself for my entire adult life, so I’m used to it.
Oh they have been. And because masculine cis women outnumber trans women guess who’s going to be persecuted more by raw quantity
