In fact the OG meme is evidence that you can’t actually tell when people look trans, because obviously that guy isn’t actually trans.
they seem to say the bulk of you are shitty people.
Disagreement is normal. Calling people shitty just for disagreeing with you, seems a bit unhealthy though.

You put “looks trans” in quotes but literally said you don’t think the after pictures here look trans. So clearly you do think that “looking trans” is a thing.

Well I don’t think they “look trans” because honestly I don’t really know what that would look like

So a meme mocking a guy’s looks by saying that he “looks trans” is… insulting to trans people because it’s saying there is such a thing as “looking trans”… and also more insulting to them because it’s before and after images in which the person looks goofier after, so it is considering “looking trans” to be synonymous with looking goofy.
Make sense now?

As explained earlier, the OG meme already acknowledged that it could be problematic. As jokes often are. Whether or not something could be a problem, and whether or not it actually becomes a problem, are two separate things.
So yes, it could be a problem. But it also could be insignificant. It’s up to the audience to judge.
