EDIT: OK, so … a cis person sees a trans person … and the trans person isn’t passing but have tried to indicate their gender by dressing hyperfem (or hypermasc) … and the cis person cruelly uses the correct pronouns in a way that is meant to be ironic, but then the trans person pretends it was sincere?
Yes it is. I realized the meme would be confusing because of the switching POVs only after posting it, too late. Happy it was accessible in some way though :]
Like the other commenter noted, in my experience, presenting hyper* is not necessary for this to happen.
thanks, appreciate the sanity check on that - I really struggled to understand the meme, lol
Makes sense re not being hyperfem.
I had a conservative colleague who at a lunch table once accidentally misgendered me early in my transition. I was wearing a full dress (honestly overdressed), and he turned to me after and said “sorry, ‘’‘she’‘’” in this heavily ironic fake-polite tone.
I just smiled as if I appreciated his politeness 🙃
I get it though, I look back at those photos and cringe at the man in the dress I see 🤢
I don’t get it.

Is that the right interpretation?

I think that’s the right interpretation, although I don’t think it has to be hyperfem/hypermasc. Could be something as basic as having long hair.
No clue what CIS unconfirmed means tho.
