I cannot for the life of me understand what this person is saying 

if you throw enough big words together it’ll eventually make sense

They’re saying that it’s a trick to lure trans folks into Big Bad Capitalism.

taking pictures of myself and sharing it online makes me want to go to consume the macdonald bubger

Okay. The OP in the screenshot may not have worded it well enough, but many trans people have critiqued TDOV as something liberal that mostly privileged white transmasculine people can afford to do because visibility for more marginalized trans people like TPOC and trans women means facing more violence.

thank you for parsing this post properly. its amazing how many people dont realize that racism and poverty are huge factors in whether or not visibility-based events contribute to or remove from your systemic oppression.

this year I was unsure of whether I wanted to post anything of myself unlike a year ago when I felt way more confident there’s an even stronger pressure to look a certain way when you’re trans and its been difficult to accept that it’s not the way I look or want to after around 3 years of being out I felt it was only right to end up sharing something as social media was the first place I ever came out to I can not show appreciation for the place and people that helped me when saying ‘I’m trans’ out loud was too hard and unthinkable through coming out to everyone in my life and living as an out transgender man so yeah thank you for everything
