          It also implies every trans woman is a sissy and vice versa, which is like, the main issue because of the direct kink connotations

        The term “sissy” in this context is mostly used as a fetish descriptor, generally carrying with it the connotation that men “get turned into” one, in like a forced feminization/hypno type thing. While there are some people who are both trans and identify with the label “sissy”, it’s kind of an offensive term when used to imply that those are the same thing. It kind of feeds into a lot of the false narratives and the “trans contagion” myth because of the baggage that word carries with it.

        I’m uncomfortable with the label being placed upon a potential trans woman by an outside observer because of those reasons.

    I get it, but I just want to point out that there are multiple forms of gender expression other than cis-binary and trans-to-other-binary.

    If someone wants to identify as male while either exercising a feminization kink, or generally performing more feminine than social expectations, that’s totally valid and okay and we should be discouraging anyone who adds to the societal shame pile such an individual already has to deal with.

      Societal shame is a big sad. ಥ⁠_⁠ಥ Non-binary people should be able to express however they please without judgement or assumptions. Luckily our sissyphus is a fictional character whose entire being centers around a pun. And unfortunately, non-binary gender expression will remain persecuted regardless of the silly pun made by a trans woman and shared with a few hundred queers online UwU
