egg🧦irl [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem]

A picture of colorful compression socks. A caption at the tops says "Compression socks". A caption at the bottom says "When you are definitely cis but of a certain age".

God damnit I did that too, can anyone explain why that's a common thing?
- I think it's one of those small gender-affirming things that one can do.
  
  What exactly are you talking about?
I don't get it
- Compression socks are an "old people thing" (not necessarily*, but the association is there). So older trans people can easily buy themselves colorful, thigh-high compression socks and don't even need to explain why.
  
  *Actually compression jobs are great for people working desk jobs, because they prevent legs/feet from swelling during long hours.
How is this transfem specific? Anyone can wear long colorful socks if that makes them happy.
- For some people it is, for some people it isn't. You do you.
  
  Yeah I'm just saying I don't exactly think the "[CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem]" tag necessarily fits because the thing isn't transfem specific, I know plenty of Enbies (me included) and Transmascs who enjoy Thigh highs.
