And I love you all 🩷
In a completely platonic, non-sapphic way because I’m into men. Sorry girls 😭

    Kind of off topic but I’ve been wondering why we feel the need to do the ‘cw assumes the viewer is trans fem’ thing lately? I’ve seen it a few times over the past few months and don’t really like it

      it comes from trans subreddits like r/traa and r/egg_irl, where posts of the “the person reading this is a good girl UwU” variety had CWs because they could cause dysphoria to non-transfems (there was an equivalent “post assumes reader is transmasc” too)

      here? tbh, most of the posts with that CW don’t even assume anything about the gender of the reader, it’s just posts about transfems. and i agree with you i don’t super like that “this post is about transfeminine people” is seen as warranting a CW.

      I was reading the community rules, got paranoid and started getting very liberal with the content warnings, just in case.
      As to why they exist, it’s generally bad to assume someone’s gender identity. That’s what I believe, at least.
