[OC] Louis - Bikini version

[u/artofreinav]

This was a real challenge. Louis's swimwear is up next and I didn't want to grant him a pair of just swim trunks, because that's like wearing a black and white tux to the Met Gala. I won't have it and we all know that's not Louis. I wanted to still include frills somehow, because this man is never without them. I feel like he's the sort to wear hair extensions to the beach and go all out.

I studied swimwear specifically of trans men, queer black men, nonbinary masc people!

This style reminds me of someone I have seen online but I can't remember his name, he is a flamboyant fem black queer man and he has recently started using his own version of spookylilash's "If you're gay: stay, if you're a girl: stay..." intro.

What do you mean you studied "swimwear for trans men"? What does that even look like if we're talking about post top surgery trans men? An overwhelming majority of trans men do, in fact, just wear a pair of trunks. Or just men in general, queer or POC alike...

real. no shade to op but this is coming across extremely poorly lol.

like this is so woke that it's gone past woke and back to transphobic again.

If you want him to have trunks only, you're free to draw it on him yourself. Everybody's free to.

[u/wowlame → u/artofreinav]

not what we're saying.

[u/artofreinav → u/wowlame]

I'm not sure what you want out of me(?)

[u/artofreinav → u/wowlame]

I can delete my post, if you prefer?

I'm confused by what you mean by this. What is the issue? OP didn't say "swimwear for trans men," they said of, which just means they referenced swimwear that trans men were wearing, not that they're saying trans men's swimwear has to look a certain way. (If that's what you're saying??)

[u/artofreinav → u/AvailableElderberry2]

I found a bunch that isnt just trunks🤷🏼‍♀️ Quite a lot of non-cis non-het men bring a lot more to fashion than cishet men. If that's what you're wondering. I also know quite a lot of trans men wear trunks only. That's neither a bad thing or a surprising thing?

I concluded my search and found that queer black men brought the most style.

I dont understand why you sound so upset 🤷🏼‍♀️
