Whenever my trans friends hear about a cis person with ANY hobby they're always like "oh yeah they're gonna be coming out any day now".

What do only trans people have hobbies?

Funkopop collecting seems to be limited to cis people... With one exception who is on this site but shall not be called out here in order to spare her from further public shaming.

Side note: I wish more trans people were into comic books. More reading instead of collecting. I'd love to have other trans folks I could discuss comics with.

I've got plenty of mangoes I like to read but not as much non-Japanese comics. If nothing else I recently came into possession of InkaLill's Felina: Spreke Påfunn, an old Norwegian comic book about a cat furry, so that's something.

That Norwegian comic definitely sounds interesting. I'm generally not into superhero stuff, but am mostly into horror or oddball alternative and/or underground comics stuff. Non-Anglo origin comics are especially interesting.

Not true my girlfriend is trans and her dad's closet is filled with hundreds of funkos

I'm guessing the Funko-obsessed dad is cis though, right?

[–] Hyper_red@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, it's hers. She trans as a teen and then immediately started collected Rick and morty funkos.

In that case I apologize for any implied negative judgment against Funko collectors on my part
