rayiner is clearly just expressing their own personal distaste for non-passing trans individuals. Is Rayiner checking the genitals of everyone that interacts with children, or is Rayiner just implicitly assuming their sex based upon their gender expression??

Are you seriously comparing non-passing trans people to drag performers?

You do realize in the subcontinent that transpeople interact with kids all the time in the street? I remember meeting them in my family’s neighborhood in Karachi when I was 7 or 8. You might want to ask your dad about this if you don’t believe me.

And you do realize that Hijra are trans people, who suffer exile and segregation into separate communities? They’re not cisgender men dressing like women to make a statement, like most drag performers.
