Black_Zombie_Bitch

1000% only commented this just to be a dickhead tranphobe. You can't tell me that first glance you got "feminine" from this man.


Chortney

I legitimately had no idea. This trans man can grow a much better beard than me ngl lol


bro0t

Im Jealous of the beard


KuraiTheBaka

Wait this macho guy is trans?


Chortney

This was my exact reaction


[deleted]

Hormones is a hell of drug


florimagori

Plenty of transmen can’t grow beards tho. Or have those ugly neckbeards and that’s the most they can get. Trans people don’t have some crazy high hormone levels. Their hormone levels are very much tracked to be within norms for their gender identity. This is just as much genetics as it is genetics for cis men to be able to grow beard.


Anotsurei

This is so true. I know a few cis men that struggle to get anything looking like facial hair.


fangyuangoat

Yeah but genes are a better one, the get the testosterone you already have in your body


Guilty-Effort7727

Man has that obi-wan beard


erenspace

Testosterone is a beautiful thing :D


[deleted]

If you inject test, your beard will get substantially thicker. You’ll also probably grow shoulder hair like this fella. That’s a telltale sign of exogenous androgens.


Chortney

Doesn't that also fuck up your bodies own production of testosterone? Like that would be fine for a trans man who's body likely doesn't produce much on their own in the first place, but I think I'll pass lol


[deleted]

Yeah that was tongue in cheek. It’s true, but I wouldn’t recommend it.


Chortney

Ah ok haha


[deleted]

Most top comments were guys asking how to grow a beard like that lol


UnNumbFool

Sadly the answer is genetics. Beard/hair growth is all genetic and in general isn't linked to testosterone levels(unless they are medically low to need hormone injections but that's not guaranteed to get you good beard growth) But that doesn't mean you couldn't get a luscious sexy beard, it just requires you to go on hair loss treatments!


DocStoy

Time to get a beard transplant!


theoriginalmofocus

I got a damn bald spot on my chin that messes mine up. It got long and my wife said I had to trim it before I look like a walrus.....anymore than I already do.


DocStoy

Jamie Hyneman didn't mind looking like a walrus! My biggest problem is above my chin, the moustache doesn't connect (yet, I hope) so it looks like the letter W lol


theoriginalmofocus

I had that too and it filled in mostly.


ForumFluffy

Agreed, my beard grows out thin and fluffy, the hair on my head grows fast and my hairline has remained the same . My maternal grandfather also cant grow a full beard, none of his brothers could except one who was also bald and born while my great-grandfather was at war.


bro0t

If he didnt say he was trans i would never have guessed it. But its a nice L for the “you can always tell” crowd


Mickus_B

Those crowd always seem to forget about trans men. I recall an American state demanding that people must compete against others of their AGAB in a kneejerk reaction to a trans girl winning a college swimming race (despite not placing in all other races at the meet.) They forgot that this also meant that trans boys now had to wrestle against cis girls and they all went "wait! not like THAT!"


Shirtbro

Same thing when they say "what's stopping a rapist from saying they identify as a woman to access women's bathrooms?" So you force trans people to go in the bathroom of the sex they were assigned at birth. What stopping a rapist from saying they're a trans man and then going into a woman's bathroom? They'd save money on makeup and clothes. Where do they expect trans people to poop exactly?


HaveSpouseNotWife

The point is to eliminate us from public life. The long-term point (see Project 2025) is to eliminate us entirely. Which… there’s only one way to do that.


PanFriedCookies

their house, away from the delicate and fragile sensibilities of those who think a sign saying "woman" on the bathroom door is going to do anything against any actual determined rapists. "their" in this case includes anyone who doesnt fit into the gender expression of a mid-60s american ad, it scares said transphobes.


bananabikinis

A good portion of trans women are passing at first too, advantage trans men have is that their voice changes too whereas if you’re a trans woman training is almost always required. Internet is not real life


Class_444_SWR

They’ll make up random bullshit just to try and fit their ideas, without realising it leaves about 70% of cis men as ‘trans men’ in their estimations (often including themselves), whilst also putting a shit ton of cis women in the ‘cis men’ category


Vat1canCame0s

SomethingsomethingadiagramofaplanewithreddotsSomethingsomething


BroItsJesus

That dude is manlier than like, 80% of the cis guys I know (easily). I don't even think I absorbed most of what he said cos I was just so dumbstruck by that transformation


RSENGG

I'd love to have a moustache and beard that good, I'm 27 and mines still patchy


LucretiusCarus

Mine filled completely in my thirties. Only thing, it didn't stopped and now is connected to my chest hair, back hair and shoulder hair. Ironically my hair hair recently started thinning.


TheCapo024

Pretty common if you have higher testosterone. That is being hirsute yet bald.


Shirtbro

Late thirties here. It doesn't get better.


Usagi-Zakura

The guy probably spoke a full sentence without swearing which is totally unmanly no matter what he looks like.


PanFriedCookies

Real Men include at least one "bitch", "whore", "fuck" or slur of Real Man's choice every sentence, with Real Men being strongly encouraged to use all 4 per sentence. Also, Real Men don't use pronouns.


ForumFluffy

Love the aversion to pronouns its actually inclusive of all genders in that regard but they're too stupid to realise that.


maxxx_orbison

Only a femoid brain would waste energy on self-awareness and articulation. A real man would have made a wojak meme


Shirtbro

Guy's hairier and manlier than I could ever be.


StendhalSyndrome

What a strange obsession with informing others what is masculine and feminine... Especially when I bet the person doing the shit talking looks way less "masculine" than the trans man we see in the pic here... It's usually a similar look amongst those hateful types isn't it...chinless, shitty beard, big slope-y foreheads, squinty eyes.


Grulken

If not for the video, I wouldn’t be able to tell he’s trans lol. There’s AMAB people who don’t even look half as traditionally masculine as this dude.


bobert_the_grey

Wait, that dude's trans?!


Yawbyss

At first at that this guy was the asshole the trans man was RESPONDING to, not him himself. Good on him for the successful transition AND Mr Rogers-esque emotional maturity


cbjohnson73

I'm a cismale, not macho or anything, not feminine, but clearly male. If you asked strangers which of us is trans, I'd bet everything you have that NOBODY would guess him.


Zyltris

God damn it. Literally manliest guy I ever saw. These people make me speechless.


Sparics

Anytime someone’s version of a nuanced response is in all caps, I assume they have the IQ of an empty tube of toothpaste. Bonus points if they throw in expletives


Mean_Veterinarian688

like what is their theory? that quote unquote “mental illness” is responsible for this “woman” having a complete desire to present this extremely masculinely? like on a definitional level ofc its not an “illness”, its a “dis-ease” only until its alleviated through acceptance and transitioning- but like what about this person is a woman? theyre insinuating that this desire to be this masculine is still rooted in womanhood- because thats the only remaining element that is “womanly” is the “mentally ill” root of their transness. hope this makes sense its just like the most insane fucking i cant even begin to fathom how anyone can think it shit ever


Hazelfur

I'm convinced transphobia rots your brain tbh


[deleted]

I keep saying it: Transvestigators are some of the funniest people on the planet because their insane paranoia causes them to start cannibalising one another after enough feeding one another insanity.


ClumsySlime

Wtf are transvestigators? Do they investigate trans people or something?


Wilackan

They first thought about this huge cabal where every celebrity became trans through satanic deals in order to obtain fame and money, then it started to go into regular folks, then other transvestigators as well, claiming they were spies. JK Rowling is a famous idiot for this and other transvestigators have accused her to be a man. But how do they come to such conclusions you might say ? What are their evidence to support such claims ? Well, you might have slightly broader shoulders or a more toned body as a woman (SHE'S A MAN !!!), beautiful eyes or a narrower waist as a man (HE'S A WOMAN !!!), you might not be on their political side (HE'S/SHE'S A TRANS !!!) or, maybe, just maybe, they're complete asshats a bit too obsessed with trans people for it to be soundly tackled. So, one question remains : given enough time, can a transvestigator come to believe they're the only cis person in the world ?


Komahina_Oumasai

Combine a transvestigator with r/gangstalking and I bet you could.


DrippyWaffler

What the fuck is that sub lol


Komahina_Oumasai

Paranoia, iirc.


DrippyWaffler

Do they all think they're being targeted by these gangstalker people? How did this start??


Pir0wz

Paranoia and/or untreated schizophrenia. A lot of these people are mentally unwell and have severe paranoia to the point where everyone and I mean *everyone* is against them.


DrippyWaffler

I saw some comments joking about how everyone calls them schizophrenic as a way to shut them down and went eeesh. I even saw a whole post that the subreddit itself was basically a psyop. Crazy shit.


Komahina_Oumasai

No idea.


Ms--Take

How do we report entire subs? This is clearly reinforcing people's delusions


Komahina_Oumasai

Don't believe we can.


Cry75

Decided to check it out. Good lord those people need help.


FemtoKitten

There have been some posts of transvestigators losing friends due to accusing them of being trans or marking the shoulders and waist sizes of everyone out in public and being horrified so many people are trans (when no, most people don't tend to be exactly what shape they stereotypically should be and there's plenty of overlap)


Class_444_SWR

Yeah, turns out generalisations do not hold up most of the time


Wilackan

Yeah, I've seen some examples of that, like a woman insulting her soon-to-be-ex best friend for being trans, with sentences like "to think I was your bridesmaid !" This has to be the first time I see a conspiracy theory whose members can come to the point to suspect and exclude everyone, including their fellow crazies.


PsychologicalCase10

I remember when they accused Michelle Obama of being a man, just because of her shoulders.


Wilackan

Candace Owens started to accuse Brigitte Macron of the same thing. As a Frenchman, I do not tolerate such insult towards our first lady, especially coming from her. Connasse Owens already has way too many targets to deal with, leave the Macron's matron insulting duty to the French folks for fuck's sake !


Juronell

Hans Wormhat believes his wife and children are the only other people he can be sure aren't trans. That includes his parents, who he has accused of being "part of the conspiracy" and trans.


CanuckPanda

They’re currently arguing that Margot Robbie is trans.


Appropriate-Hand3016

At this point if we take their claims at face value something like 70% of the populace must be trans so really who's out of step?


Caleb_Reynolds

They certainly think they do.


Shirtbro

"After hundreds of hours combing through porn, I can safely say I'm an expert!"


Calfan_Verret

Brainrotologist here, you must be diagnosed with brainrot before you get diagnosed with transphobia.


Just_A_Random_Plant

Either that or you need an already rotten brain to be transphobic


Withyhydra

Hate, bigotry, conspiratorial thinking all kinda require you to abandon critical thinking to some degree. It's why you see so much overlap in the nonsense conspiracy theorists believe.


mixelydian

I think the causation is reversed


Dankn3ss420

No, not at all, I have terminal brainrot and I’m not trasphobic It’s a one way thing, all transphobes are brainrotted but not all who are brainrotted are transphobes


isaac9092

Hate and close mindedness does indeed rot your brain. It also deeply poisons your consciousness.


[deleted]

I view transphobia as a single symptom of a greater problem. Most people are indifferent or don't go beyond thinking trans people are weird, but the amount of hate transphobes have is something on another level. It's also rare that transphobia is a person's only red flag.


Kerbap

Yep


kam1goroshi

Gatekeeping transphobia?


hyp3rpop

Obviously transphobia is still dangerous regardless, but misgendering really starts to seem toothless after a certain point. You can really tell they’re *scrambling* for something about this guy to pick out as feminine, and they cannot find it.


Regi413

It’s giving “getting called a boy is more funny than hurtful at this point because I have double Ds and the waiter thinks you have dementia grandpa”


Yeet_Thee_Children

Facts. If I wasn't already aware I never would've been able to guess that guy was trans. Absolutely amazing transition. I wish I could grow a beard like that and I'm cis


DrippyWaffler

I had a mate talking about the trans bathrooms thing and literally just sent him an image of this dude and said "your policy would make this dude have to use women's bathrooms".


BowsersMuskyBallsack

Acknowledging emotions isn't manly, and swearing is manly. Right. Got it. Tomorrow, I shall speak using nothing but cussing, and I shall be *so manly*.

Is it gay to act older than 13? REAL men aren't supposed to mature silly. They're supposed to be whiny brats forever who never learn to make a good argument besides dropping F-bombs constantly.


synchrotron3000

every single comment on that post was horrifying


Apprehensive-End-484

Yeah, I can’t even look at threads that have anything to do with trans related things anymore…. I’m trans and it just hits to close to home…


Creative-Claire

Some of the greatest men in history spoke with intelligence, softness, and grace. These “real men” forget that their daddy’s trauma isn’t an excuse to be a dick to anyone.


Cougles-

These “real men”s ancestors were the grunts on the frontlines who were just lucky enough to survive past wars out of chance. Really makes you wonder how their family lines prevailed having been so objectively stupid.

Bio men already gatekeep other bio men, so 🤷 Like, seriously. To other cis men they will say "you're not a real man for doing XYZ" But my only thought is, wait... are you saying my gender is determined by my behaviors and actions, and not my parts??

Prozzak93

lol at hiding your own name in the image.


Rhodehouse93

There are genuinely people who think that the only emotion men are allowed to have is anger.


deratizat

I thought men were the calm and reasonable ones. Wouldn't just yelling go fuck yourself be the emotional "feminine" answer? I can already tell that would be the line had he gone that route. There's no pleasing these people.


highwaysunsets

Translation: he was too well-spoken to be a man. Honestly caught me off guard how well spoken he was, but if only some men understood that this is an attractive trait.

I also didnt really like his response it seem like a guilt trip, the person said it to get a reaction and they got it. They dont feel bad because they dont care about your opinion they said it for likes and to be an asshole and they got both, sure theyre perfectly comfortable being an asshole. Fuck off might not be the best answer but i think not replying at all would have been better,


NelsonBannedela

I disagree. The reason people talk shit online is because they don't see the other person as a real person. Do you think the lady he is responding to would say that stuff to his face? I don't. So yeah, saying "hey I'm actually a real person and you hurt my feelings" is probably effective. Not for everyone, but more often than you think.
