Transgender acceptance has failed because of many reasons, but a major one is because trains don't have a good tv show.

Problem: the face of the modern day train movement is a failure in both messaging and substance. Most people can't relate to trains at all and their political platform makes no sense to them. Their most prominent figures are inscrutable, to say the least.

However, even those of us with slight chud leanings are aware there are trains who just want to lead their lives without being a nuisance to the general public, who won't put you in a headlock for misgendering them, and are currently the victims of political crossfire.

Plan of action: trains need an engaging, non sexual, NON POLITICAL tv series where they're interacting with normal people much like the makeover show Queer Eye For the Straight Guy, which—along with the sitcom Will & Grace—was a groundbreaking show for its time. Homosexual men have intuitively understood what kind of media presence would gain them mainstream acceptance: be nonpolitical, be attractive, be non threatening, be funny.

Why haven't transpeople pursued the same?

Trains need a popular normie show where they don't browbeat people about gender ideology. Where they don't bring up the issues of bathrooms, sports, or children. Where they don't cry about transphobia. And OF VITAL IMPORTANCE: where they cast only non threatening, charismatic, and attractive trains.

Just pulling these examples from the top of transtimelines, they need to cast trains that look like this:

Gather attractive and entertaining trains, preferably with a good sense of humor, and make a show where they help regular men and women with different struggles. Put their competence, helpfulness, and amicability on display. It's important to show them displaying skills and helping people normies can identify with.

What sort of struggles could trains help with specifically? Not quite sure, but It might be something like helping normies blend into an unfamiliar situation or territory. Here's a transman giving other transmen advice on how to fit into a male dominated workplace…such advice could easily be given to a struggling spergy or effeminate man as well:

Remember, the vital thing is to remove all politics and sexuality from such a show. Most people associate transpeople as being gratingly political (or perverted) because this is the essence of their main, and probably only interactions with trains online.

you can't have a good trans show for the same reason you can't have a good christian show, when you start from that perspective you're already wingcucked enough that it will turn out cringe no matter what

besides, if you want a "normie" show about trans shit in the vein of queer eye, there's that shitty drag race show that's popular with libs. the problem is that is still repulsive and obnoxious to anyone normal (so was queer eye, no one who wasn't already 100% on board thought that shit was anything but cringe)

I remember trying to explain to women that we are not trying to look like cute twinks. We're not gonna be like "wow this is a great result because I look like a total cute twink!" I think it plays in to their desire to play dress-up. They can't cute twink up their guy like that so they'll do it vicariously though these queers.

Yeah the appeal of the show for women was definitely dress-up but they wouldn't want to frick any of the guys they were dressing up in the slightest. The very idea of allowing a gay guy to tell you how to dress is beta enough that it would make you unfrickable for 90% of women. If forced to choose between a slob who stands up for himself and says he's going to dress however he wants, vs a "well-dressed" guy who is only that way because he got forced to by a bunch of gays, the latter is definitely more unwanted

Kinda goes back to what I was saying here.

Is it a gay thing or a trans thing? Because you can't have it both ways.

that shitty drag race show

Drag Race isn't shitty hunty :marseynails:

Also drag is for strags. It's kind of the opposite of transitioning
