          Yeah thats the problematic part. I sorta see what doe was saying though. At the end its like, "still waifus tho. Deal with it" really feels just one step away from realizing that gender and waifu are both constructs and saying "they are women. Deal with it"

            This, if you look past the terminology he uses, he's arguing that gender is a social construct and for all social intents and purposes these characters fill the female gender role.

                Yeah i was just suprised that the presenter was tangentially close to actually understanding. This dude 4 years ago, was closer to understanding gender than some chapos I was talking to a week ago.

                Yeah I suppose I was being too generous, you can only stretch what terms someone with zero understanding of the discussion might incidentally use without considering the implications so far.

          I thought OP was upset that their hardships and struggles as a Trans being exploited for money. I hadn't known that trap was a slur :( Makes sense as soon as someone explained it. Other than calling them female (like one shown on the presentation) or male for the other case, is there any other acceptable name?

            Hi. You can use trans or transgender if refering to the concept. Otherwise just use man or woman based on the gender that person identifies as.

            Some of us are intentionally gender queer and identify with multiple genders or even none. This is deliberate because either we don't feel like we fully belong to a single gender or reject the concept since it is a social construct based in opression.

            If you're not sure about a person's pronouns, offer yours first. "Hi my name is gonxkilluaotp and my pronouns are he/him. Nice to meet you."

            It takes guts to admit you don't know something. Thanks for wanting to learn.

              Thank you for sharing. Trying to figure out what pronouns to use is extremely difficult for me so that additional tip is useful.

                I get it. If you’re cis, then you haven’t had to think about pronouns much if at all since they just assigned them to you at birth and happened to fit you enough you didn’t notice.

                When you’re trans, you have to remove a false gender and shift into the one you really identify with. Some people have always known their true gender, some of us just know what we had didn’t work.

                That’s why we give so much of a fuck about things like pronoun tags on a website. We live this shit every day.

                Edit: trying to make my comment more general. Take this as just my experience.
