I’m not a trans woman myself, but honestly I love the idea of trans women walking around showing off their bulge with confidence. It’s not necessarily just because the outline of their penis is visible (though that is a welcomed sight). For me it’s the body confidence; it’s them not being afraid to show who they are. That type of confidence makes them so much sexier. When I see a trans woman with a visible penis bulge, what it tells me is she is comfortable in her own skin and doesn’t care if people can see what’s between her legs. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with that either. This is 2025 not 1975. The world has dramatically changed and those who are trans shouldn’t have to hide anymore. If they want to walk around with a bulge, great! I think of the actress Hunter Schafer who is not only stunningly beautiful, but loves to flaunt her bulge quite often. I’m all for it! More trans women should be like Hunter. If everyone does it, the amount of isolated incidents drops significantly and seeing it becomes the norm.
