Why the confusion
Dialogue
Overview
This is a 4-panel Wojak/NPC meme that exposes the contradictory double standard common in transphobic rhetoric. In the first panel, the grey NPC character tells a trans woman that because she has soft hands, she is 'not a real man'. In the second panel, the trans woman gets gender-affirming breast augmentation, referred to as a 'boob job' in the meme text. The third panel shows the NPC still neutral, and in the fourth panel the angry NPC now says the trans woman is 'not a real woman, you're a man', highlighting that any trait or choice a trans person makes is twisted to deny their gender identity, with no logical consistency in the transphobic argument.
