But as a trans person myself, I hate this shit too. I hate when tumblr trans-tweenagers do this and I hate when cis artists do this. Who does it expressly doesn't matter, but it's uniformly the approach that bothers me because it's so often based on gender essentialist bs (such-and-such character talked about his feminine side, SHE'S A TRANS WOMAN! Such-and-such character talked about feeling tomboyish and not like the other girls, OMG HE'S A TRANS MAN!! etc.)
In this case, I don't think it's transphobic and while I try to just sort of let people get on and do their own shit it doesn't mean I like it or think it's a good trend.
