"Do you really see this effeminate male character as FTM? Or are you just looking at them through a sexist/transphobic lens?"

Listen, there's a lot of pressure to conform to your gender even if you're cis, but that goes double for trans people. Headcanoning a sensitive and effeminate guy as FTM is nice because here's someone who can identify as a man while not feeling any pressure to put on a performance to prove that he's "really a man," y'know?

Sometimes it's about seeing a guy who is completely and fully a guy and uses he/him pronouns and is confident in his masculinity while also being emotional and effeminate and liking dresses and whatnot.

#anyways I'm not exactly FTM but I am pretty transmasc #so this is just my perspective #and yes this is about Luigi from Super Mario Bros (shocker)#I personally see him as cis but I also COMPLETELY get the FTM angle #and in any case he's helped me be more comfortable in how I identify #anyways these are just rambling. I saw a post around a year ago that bugged me so here's my belated thoughts on the matter
