Examples

“The end⟳ result⟳ is that a lot of transgender women in the baby trans phase opt for clothes that are excessively youthful, flirty, and feminine. Trans actress Angelica Ross once summed up what being baby trans means on The Daily Show⟳: “When you first transition, you reach⟳ for the longest hair, and the shortest skirt.””

“My ‘baby trans’ days of insecurity, taking crumbs of attention from the Bens of the world, are long since over but, still, it’s delightful to know⟳ that the trans girls of tomorrow could also tell⟳ this type⟳ of man to “fuck off and watch⟳ ContraPoints” the minute he started his shit.”

“Pretty much every queer archetype appears here—sadly I saw⟳ myself mostly in those painted in the worst light⟳ (the twitter-born baby trans who sniffs at a morbid joke during an incredibly dark, incredibly funny funeral sequence made me cringe in self-recognition) but almost nobody is a cliche.”
