sure, but it's also a derogatory term used as an actual insult against real trans women implying they're a) not real women and b) trying to deceive men
The op in the thread I linked is definitely trying to attract male attention with that image. They know what they're doing, either guys won't read and up vote or it attracts guys with a fetish. Either way they're looking for validation for having feminine features and being trans. I guess I could be more inclusive and call them an attention whore like I would anybody else who posts stuff like that.
trying to attract attention, feeling confident in their looks or simply cute, there are many reasons they might've posted that. Even if it was only meant for attention (which it likely wasn't, posting on a niche community on a small instance on an obscure platform. posts on unixsocks are mostly by queer people for other queer people), that'd be no different from the millions of other posts in communities like Roast Me or Gone Wild.
Why do you say guys can only like this content if they're ignorant or have a fetish? There is nothing strange about liking feminity, and for that it doesn't matter if the OP is cis or trans. This is exactly the sort of harmful stereotype I was talking about earlier. Trans people are not trying to trick anybody, but just live their lives.
@itslilith It seems like cishet men really thinks everything posted on the internet has to be directed at them 😭
