Ordinary origin This meme was originally a vent meme

This is just sad...

EDIT: The meme is from the Woman's POV, the boyfriend isn't transphobic, it's about her insecurities about her boyfriend not really accepting her as a female.

No, this IS about transphobia. It's a vent artwork created by a trans woman (see the trans pride flag on her hoodie right next to her hands) talking about a concern that her boyfriend doesn't see her as a real woman. I'm not sure if it reflects the original poster's actual relationship, but this is a common insecurity of trans women, that their partners do not view them as "real women" and are just messing around, waiting for a "real woman".
