    If any one of those dudes walked into a women’s bathroom to comply with a stupid law, everyone would freak out about men in the women’s bathroom.

      That’s what they want. Then they can FINALLY point and say “see! Trans people want to go in bathrooms that they shouldn’t be in!!!” And the dumbass magas will eat it up

        Well if that was the joke, it wooshed right over my head. I only know 2 trans men in real life, and I only know they are trans because they told me.

      That’s GoodTimesWithScar, a gaming youtuber primarily playing Minecraft. He’s part of the Hermitcraft SMP and his shirt in this photo reads “MC Championship” (MC being short for Minecraft)

      From his Twitch Q&A:

      Q: Why do you have the tubes in your nose? A: I have to use oxygen at times to help me breathe better.

      Q: Why are you sick? A: I have a Neuromuscular disease that makes my muscles weak.

      I barely noticed that over thinking about how much he looks like Adam Scott, from Severance and Parks & Rec.

      Definitely looks like an oxygen line. Paired with the gaming headset and (esports?) jersey. Maybe just an esports competitor that needs to be on oxygen?

        Oh, I thought they were pre-transition photos of trans women. Tricking the transphobes into affirming their gender.

    Second comment is clearly just bi but really confused and deeply in denial.

    “No, no, I swear I see female-shaped heads. If these people were men, I wouldn’t have a boner right now.”

        thanks and I appreciate the energy, but as I implied, it was a rhetorical (question) to display how outlandish and crazy those transphobes seem to me…

      I don’t know who the specific individuals are, however, so if anyone has some context, I’d also like to know more. But just going from context provided by OP who shared this screengrab, the photos are actually of cis men, not trans men. The post itself never actually claims otherwise, but is cleverly worded in such a way as to bait out transphobes who will emerge to voice their own bigotry without considering how incorrect it is.

      TBH, the top-level comment I have trouble parsing, seems to be a general disbelief to the idea that trans men could exist. The one replying to it claims that they can “still see the female shaped heads” even though the subjects of the photos were not AFAB to begin with. Despite the assertion that they’re not bigoted, they’re only seeing what they “want” to see, which is the presence of some inherent difference, characterized by a false understanding of gender presentation. And the third and final visible comment below that says all it needs to say, I think.
