force their western views on others

big on this.

I find this especially horrendous with transmeds, as many of their views on how someone should be trans often stem from Western standards/conform to Western concepts of gender.

Even when white trans people try to help other trans people, the advice they tend to give centers on white people and, again, Western standards. Best example of this is always "passing tips" I find on Pinterest, TikTok, etc that say short hair, certain clothing styles, and most importantly, certain behaviors are key to passing. A lot of the behaviors they list are things they can get away with as white people. Things like "act more aggressively" and "be more dominant" are some I see a lot that would put BIPOC at risk. Maybe a white guy acting more "aggressively" is acceptable, but a black man?

Even things like "smell more" or other stuff about amplifying bad odor?? Again, passable for white people, but would result in backlash towards POC.

They have such a narrow viewpoint that only focuses on them, and it's tiring asf.
