I’ve been watching TransGeneration recently, and it’s basically just a reality TV show that caters to perverse cis curiosity about trans folks.

it has so many fucked up moments, but one of the ones I found amusing was when they took footage of Gabbie the trans woman cutting up hot dogs:

Then just to make sure we didn’t miss the metaphor they zoom in and really focus on her cutting the hot dogs:

just, lmao

      oh interesting; I mean, cis people are obsessed with our surgeries and are I think a little freaked out by them - so it makes sense that whenever a trans woman is centered there would be opportunities for visual puns like this.
