Is anyone thinking that whoever made this, at the time wasn’t even aware of trans people? and even so, couldn’t it be possible that they would have wanted to include them, but didn’t know how, so they just did a basic and general range of body types to give something of an example?
I mean, I could decide that I should be feeling left out as my body type isn’t included here, but I’m not, because it couldn’t be. They’re simply trying to bring an awareness of the different body types while still keeping it simple enough for people to understand.
We as a people really need to grow thicker skin and accept simplicity where it is born, I think
You messed up your quotes. If they didn’t know about us and didn’t know how to make our shapes then the very first thing I said, “I guess no one grows up into trans women shapes” would’ve given them the knowledge that trans women were excluded and an internet search would’ve done the rest.
As for thicker skin, shut the fuck up. No seriously, shut up, sit the fuck down and stop being an apologist asshole. It isn’t about thin skin. Or offense. It’s about very real fucking damage. Excluding us is a big part of how people use social stuff as an excuse to force us out of women’s shelters, to not let us use bathrooms we’re safer and more comfortable in, to deny us medical care. Excluding us says we’re not women and that’s what society uses to fuck us over more than cisgender women.
You’re part of the problem. Fuck your “simplicity”. Women’s lives are more important than fucking simplicity.
