I’m going to break this into two segments. The first will be cis women with uteruses and vaginas that they received at birth who’ve faced transphobia.

I’m going to start this off with Patti Labelle because her strong features, dramatic drag like style, and big gay following has caused her to receive transphobic remarks. Someone today who doesn’t know who she is could be told she’s trans and they’d agree. That’s how easy it is.pic.twitter.com/L328UEDsjg

Ok next I want to talk about Xscape. Their rough tomboy image was curated by Jermaine Dupri so that people would focus on their vocals. This backfired and they quickly started glamming it up due to heavy criticism. Biggie Smalls said he’d fuck RuPaul before he’d fuck any of them.pic.twitter.com/vhbOyITWDF

A rumor back in the day circulated that Toni Braxton was a hermaphrodite. Her facial features and voice will be what plays into that. Her features and voice are the most beautiful things about her. Rapist Kelly went as far as saying she won’t make it because she sounds like a manpic.twitter.com/5uKrvCLahE

Janet has been met with transphobia mainly from the stan community. The term “Tranet” was created by black gay stans on a forum called BGCLive. Her features, cosmetic work, and makeup at times will be what plays into that.pic.twitter.com/XbOiWUg4qX

That same forum also coined the term “Trandy” for Brandy.pic.twitter.com/xPAXY67gM0

Ciara has faced quite a bit of transphobia. When she first came on the scene, it was heavily rumored that she was a man. I, personally, never saw what they saw. However, her new style and the facial feminization work she’s had done is a bit of a clock ironically now.pic.twitter.com/WZ0dvA0I3W

Olivia, who was once signed with G-Unit, faced transphobia from former labelmate, The Game. The Game stated in an interview that she was a man and that he’s seen her penis in the bathroom. Olivia is beautiful and striking which can end up being a combo that could still clock you.pic.twitter.com/gM2w97ClpF

Lil Mama has had most of her career be overshadowed by the fact she looks like Lil Bow Wow. Her strong facial features will play into that. Ironically as a child, Lil Bow Wow was mistaken for a girl.pic.twitter.com/CYF5OXorqd

Megan Thee Stallion has faced a lot of transphobia as well due to her height, build, facial features, and demeanor. I know this one is going to bring skepticism so I made sure to post receipts with it. So if this one makes anyone feel a way, go tell them about it, not me.pic.twitter.com/zcOX4Gontx

Remy Ma has faced a lot of transphobia due to her height, build, demeanor, rap style, and voice. Her complexion plays a part too as dark skinned women are since as more masc. The bulk of this has come from another female rapper’s fan base, who are notorious for their transphobia.pic.twitter.com/Hv9MSP8UsW

While I’m on the topic of dark skinned women, I want to mention Leslie Jones. Her complexion & strong facial features are things that black women like her especially get masculinzed and dehumanized over. She is very beautiful and isn’t clocky. Women like her are insulted the mostpic.twitter.com/obQxk4Pmt5

Michelle Obama has faced transphobia for her strong facial features and toned body. Republicans have consistently masculinzed and dehumanized her since she became First Lady. They have convinced so many idiots that she was born a man.pic.twitter.com/WvNuw0VVnd

Serena and Venus have faced a lot of transphobia for their complexions, features, & toned bodies. Serena in my opinion has been the cis woman who’s faced the most transphobia out of any cis woman. White tennis fans have vitriol towards her because she’s rain a train on tennis.pic.twitter.com/nF0u3VFZrc

This next segment is short but I want to shed light on cis women with uteruses who’s features have been clocky enough for them to be asked to play roles of trans women.
