Several transgenders who I know, always envision themselves with like goatees and other typical attributes that shape them into this trucker guy look.

And I just don’t get it and spare me the whole “that’s just what they wanna be” responses. Because, there are other male models to ideally go for than just that. I personally don’t find the look attractive myself so I can’t really care that they go this direction.

That isn’t all that a guy is anyways, that isn’t even what it usually takes to look like a guy.

    Humility.

    The OP was founded on a misconception (that all trans people want to look the same). It’s important to realise where you may have flawed logic and call it out. It demonstrates that you are willing to listen and learn. Even something as simple as “this may be confirmation bias, but…” or “Is what I’ve seen common?” goes a long way.

    Secondly, you are going to be wrong on the internet. It’s inevitable; you’re going to offend someone or make a faux pas. Take the L, apologise and move on. Look inside yourself and accept “yeah, I goofed”. Don’t live a life where you feel you need to constantly be fighting off “attackers” and defending yourself.

    People are much more receptive to peope who demonstrate a willingness to learn and grow.

      What a wonderful response, though I fear the OP is going to somehow read it as another character attack.
