      I will admit I don’t fully understand the meme, but I will say that these are pictures of an internet personality called finnster (sp?) who was a male presenting streamer who opened a place for people to donate money for him to do challenges, and one of them was for him to dress as a woman. His community donated that he was dressed as a woman for… Longer than a year I think? Anyway, he didn’t change his voice at all and before this meme I had heard that he said he wasn’t trans, and this was just how he dressed as a commitment to the bit. Being genderfluid might have changed the preferred pronouns of finnster, but I am unaware.

        Finn came out as genderfluid some time ago and as for the pronouns … on twitter it says her pronouns are he/him. He prefers being refered to with “he”.

          Vibe of half of this comment:

          Vee from the Boiling Isles, protectively shouting to someone out of frame: "Her pronouns are They/Them!!!"

          Ok, I recognize the genderfluid identity means many different pronouns might be ok, but your sentence

          on twitter it says her pronouns are he/him

          is just funny to me.

        Did the internet force femme someone and I didn’t even get to watch in real-time? Damn!

          Finn was definitely a little experimental/gender-open compared to the average cis man. Even having a “dress up as a girl full time” donation goal is pretty… Not cis sounding.

            Yeah. A Q&A vid from 2017 when he had like 10k subs has her wearing make-up and jokingly saying “no” when asked if they were a man. Even their minecraft avatar isn’t particularly gendered. She didn’t post an Omegle troll video on an unadvertised second channel for money. He didn’t start streaming for money. F1nn actually thought no one would watch it and they’d be done with it in a month, but no such luck.

            He sometimes talks about whether or not they’d present fem if it wasn’t for streaming. She doubts that he would, but I feel like it might be the opposite. If F1nn didn’t have the excuse of money to fall back on, the egg might have cracked sooner.

            Transfems often enjoy force fem fantasies because they take the difficult decision out of our hands. Being able to point to an external force helps us not question our identity while still feeling euphoric. It protects us from admitting that we really want it.

            Despite being out as trans, F1nn still has mega imposter syndrome. It’s amazing how someone can claim they don’t experience euphoria while admitting she feels so much more comfortable with his appearance now. If F1nn didn’t have a monetary incentive, they wouldn’t have as many excuses.

            I’ve followed F1nn for a long time, and I honestly thought he was cis until late 2022. I think genderfluid is a totally accurate label for her, but it might just be hard for them to accept. I’ve certainly had imposter syndrome about being bi, as being totally gay or totally straight is an easier narrative. The truth just isn’t simple sometimes.

              Have they actually announced their pronouns as she/her? I haven’t watched in a while, but last I did, it was still he/him. I know they still make no attempt to use a feminine voice, but I also don’t know if there’s any intention to start either.

        It was a confused look, a confused comment, and definitely a confused upvote. I’m here for any/all weirdness.

          In twitter bio it says “her pronouns are He/him 👉🌶️”

          So, like, take that as you will. Finnster is a living meme, creating gender chaos for shits and giggles.

          My understanding is “any pronouns”, and in those cases I tend to either use they/them or the pronoun of the gender they weren’t assigned at birth. Partly since I know many trans people will say “any pronouns” then later rescind the ones they were assigned at birth.
