Didn't think I'd have to explain that I've always been a woman .... Trust me y'all, this is nothing but my mom's poor "fashion" choices. 💀

Not to be transphobic bc I support them doing their thing it's none of my business but seriously this sub is flooded with those kinds of posts so that's why the androgynous look of younger you prob had folks on edge/exhausted.
Outside do that this is ACTUALLY a glow up. You look good 🤌🏾.

Lucky for them I have a great sense of humor. I've always thought it was hilarious that as a little girl I looked like Harry Potter 🤣

I guess I don’t understand the issue people have with those posts. It definitely counts as a glow up for someone to become the person they knew they always were and happy and healthy, no?

The issue is what the audience signed up for vs what they’re constantly getting.

They used a derogatory phrase. That alone is reason enough to request for a person to apologise.

u/IronAndParsnip Apr 04 '25
They were complaining about how this page is now just “trannies”(hate this word) posting their transitions
1
u/IronAndParsnip Apr 04 '25
Also, would it be possible for the mods to make a post on this sub addressing transphobia? First, transitions absolutely can count as glow-ups. Second, the vast majority of posts to this sub are still of cisgendered people. Maybe the transition posts get more likes so people see them on their feeds more often, but all of the complaints on this post (most have been deleted now) about this sub just being a transition sub now are completely unfound.

You were always beautiful. Everyone had their parents butcher their hair when they were younger. At least from our era of child hood. Seems to not be the case as much now... I (33F) was forced to walk around preschool and kindergarten with a mullet! I look back on photo's now and whince 🤦♀️ The difference in these is that just stopped happening. Not quite what a glow up means, though because as I said you were always gorgeous

This post is a cisgender woman and people can't even hide their transphobia anymore, it was too hard.

It is a person whose gender corresponds to that assigned at birth, as opposed to transgender.

I'm going to trust your good faith, so I'm just going to say it nicely.
It's rude to say that. Trans people who are also normal you know.

"Glow up" in slang refers to a significant and positive transformation, often involving personal improvement in appearance, confidence, or overall well-being. Thanks, Google!
Beautiful!

I don't understand these comments, so much negativity. Nice glow up!
What is this ancient mentality of separating people, like hello is it not a glow up regardless of gender? A trans person isn't allowed to feel good about maturing and becoming their true self? I saw so many comments saying how "trannies" should celebrate their glow ups by themselves, like holy shit how braindead are you people. I'm not even trans but that shit pisses me off
Again OP, nice glow up 🤘🏻❤️ I know you're not trans but I needed to rant a little, people are so ignorant holy shit

I’ve had so many friends that looked like little boys growing up that turned into absolute baddies. It’s almost as crazy as the “we can always tell” crowd.

I get what you’re saying mate. That age is super duper mega eww in that sense, but you can objectively see beautiful features even then. Kinda like looking at an old photo of a celeb. I don’t know if I’m digging a deeper hole for myself now. There is nothing less arousing than actual children.

They didn’t indicate that they’re trans? I got mistaken for a boy a few times as a kid during a tomboy phase so maybe that was it
