    I may joke to male friends that they should be femboys but that is the extent of what I’ve seen.

    Yeah, that’s how it starts. It’s how neo-nazis wriggle their way into places they shouldn’t be.

    “It’s just a joke, bro.” Until it isn’t.

      I mean you’re not wrong about jokes being used like that. In this case the jokes at most encourage them to explore their gender expression, I’m not suggesting that they transition in any way.

      If you want to directly compare like that it would imply that I (a trans person) am sneaking into cishet places. This alone should probably show that it’s a bad comparison because friendship isn’t something that should be discriminated by gender, sexuality, race, or idk nose position.
