I recognize the mtf nuance of this, but.... isnt just a rehash of "women be shopping" boomer humor?

    How is this a rehash of women be shopping? I'm a woman, I enjoy shopping, am I not allowed to rejoice in that? Or are you saying that transfeminine people must avoid any kind of behavior or preference associated with western feminine gender roles?

    I think it's the way the panels are labelled. I think if it read just "Before" and "Now", or something like that, it would clearly be about personal experience, funny, maybe relatable.

    But with "Shopping as a man/woman" it can interpreted as either personal experience of both sides OR broad sweeping generalisations of what men/women must all experience when shopping. And that second version is the boomer rehash.

    I think this is mostly it. The labeling just feels like it immediately conjures up this trope

    At a glance, OPs formatting feels like its cut from the same template. "Before/After" would probably help break that connection.

    As much as I enjoy finding new clothes as a cis guy I kinda like it being in one floor / area. Maybe I'm closer to boomer but technically I'm just Gen x. So whatever.

    I was amused by the comic To each their own preference, and I'll gladly think think that's cool too, that's what makes us all great.
