I kind of hate this.

I've known so many trans women who can never reach what they feel is "pretty," so they don't feel like women.

Pretty is an arbitrary, moving goal. Being a woman has nothing to do with being pretty. Lots of unattractive women exist.

I think that's like half the point of the comic

i feel like the comic isnt saying that you become pretty when you realize youre trans, its that the feeling of wanting to be pretty is more validated mentally when you do make that realization.

not to say guys can't be pretty or have those feelings, but most of the time thats shamed or not applicable. so eggs dont feel like that desire is something "normal" or acceptable
