Sorry that I neglected your comment, but my response to the neighboring comment applies here as well.

I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's definitely not as "backhanded" as the other one. In fact, that "compliment", especially in the context of the meme, implies they didn't realize the person is transgender until it was somehow pointed out explicitly, because of the whole "wow, you're trans?" part.
I kinda see your point, but I think context is important here. For many trans people, part of transitioning includes working toward presenting as their identified gender, and that process can take time and effort. So when someone says "you look good for a trans man/woman", in a clumsy way, it might be meant as recognition of that effort, like saying, “you look exactly how you hoped to". Which is completely different from automatically assuming that all women are stupid for being women.
Isn't this about "you look good for a trans man/woman"?
"You're smart for a woman" is just straight up sexist and demeaning, while the former "compliment", maybe not as flattering to some as the giver intends, does not imply any prejudice.
Due to some ancient meme I can only see this gif with MGS alert music in my head.
Now that's husband-attracting outfit!
Dang, you're still posting? I haven't seen these for months.
Probably because I rarely scroll below 100 upvotes on Top...
What's the origin of that background? I've seen it on a couple of posts lately.
Standard issue slave-girl uniform.
He will also never attract a husband.
I saw list item 1 more as "I want my phone to last for 5+ years, so I will want to replace my battery eventually", rather than "I wanna wreck my battery fast, so it better be replaceable". Being wasteful with your battery like that goes against the spirit of Fairphone, IMO.
What/whom have the wolves been eating this whole time?
