Is nobody else going to push back against this horrible gifset?

My sincere apologies.

It didn’t occur to me that the Justice League War gifset I reblogged recently can be read as transphobic.

Being cis, I foolishly assumed that the scene dodges the bullet of being problematic because it doesn’t directly condemn the man for his secret crossdressing habit. Please read the linked post that comments how subtext of this Wonder Woman dialogue can be read from trans people perspective.

I won’t delete the gif post, both to leave it for the reference and because it’s also a statement on Wonder Woman’s costume (which belongs to this blog’s subject matter).

If any of you ever see me reblog something potentially problematic, please don’t refrain from calling me out!

At first I thought they were going to make fun of him and I was about to get angry but then Wonder Woman was like “yeah, my outfit is pretty awesome.”

Also props to the writers for making that joke with version of Diana who wears outfit that makes sense and would stay on in real life (unlike traditional cleavage + metal bar that could slip off her boobs at any time).

It is a very powerful costume design!

edit: Fuller context of this scene and better look at Diana’s costume here.

edit 2: Apparently, this scene IS problematic and can be read as transphobic, after all.
PLEASE ALWAYS REFER TO THIS DETAILED EXPLANATION BEFORE YOU CONSIDER REBLOGGING THE POST.
