hiiii girlies, december has been more expensive than anticipated & and in January i’ll be going back home to the UK where i don’t have the liberty of splitting all costs with my fiancée, so anybody who would like to send a couple of dollars either to me or to my emigration fund i would really & truly appreciate it, and it will help keep me safer this winter⛄️ thank you 🙏
i saw a reddit thread about Ralsei maybe being transfem recently and the comments were as always as you’d expect (even from other trans people)
are people really this dense? in Deltarune, Mettaton — a textually transmasculine character — literally IS misgendered across the game specifically because he hasn’t transitioned yet ❓
people are so allergic to interesting & meaningful trans representation. i want to see transition!!! i want to see characters questioning their gender and coming out!!! i want to see characters re-evaluate their gender identities and ask people to refer to them differently!!!!! it seems like a lot of y’all just wanna see “cis characters but were assured they transitioned unmentioned offscreen and it never comes up”
i hope im not only a mutual to some of u but also someone who youd let fuck nasty style or at the very least u think im kinda sexy with it
if some 5 foot little dipshit theyfab flatmate asked me to grab something from a high shelf i would "accidentally" push it further in. and go oopsie woopsie can't reach it either anyway i gotta go to the clothes store for soup
have fun unfolding a stepladder taller than you bitxh
I’m always fascinated by these people who seem to think all the world’s media is flooded with positive transfem rep and we need to stop asking for more of it at once so as to not stamp out the existence of the humble cisgendered twink. I would say I have no idea how this opinion manages to be as widespread as it is but I do and it’s the transmisogyny as usual
right??? there’s literally thousands of characters who ”just crossdress” compared to maybe a very very small handful who are trans. in fact, one of the other branches of that post i’m pretty sure talks about this disparity.
by the way i havent said this before because its cringe to talk about steven universe these days but. steven universe is transfeminine right. like we all saw steven universe future. steven is a trans girl. right. right. ri
i think it’s important that he isn’t trans actually cuz he’s one of the few popular male GNC representation that is allowed to be GNC for no other reason than he wants to
he’s allowed to wear dresses and cry and be compassionate and like pink and no one thinks anything of it and it’s pretty amazing. he doesn’t do this to be some commentary on gender or anything, he’s just naturally a feminine kinda guy and thats great too.
sugar was based for adding a gay wedding to a kids show and absolutely giving no shits on making their characters have to perform human gender expectations. su really told everyone “hey you might be different and thats completely valid” which is a great lesson to have in a kids show because man is learning gender roles confusing at that age
i love trans rep don’t get me wrong! i just think it’s also important to remember the other representation he’s doing.
🙄 here we go.
actually, i think that representation for trans women is, believe it or not, way more important and meaningful than representation for cis men. what you’re suggesting here — that it’s important to have examples of “just feminine boys” who aren’t trans than it is to have examples of trans girls in fiction — is pretty blatantly conservative. first of all, there are actually way more fictional characters who are “just feminine boys”; way more than there is positive representation for trans women.
like, literally everything you’re praising the show for would be even more incredible if the main character was trans. it actually is not “more impressive” or “more important” to cater to cis men, the most catered to demographic in all of television.
when you act like cisgender crossdressers are more transgressive than trans women, you’re pretty blatantly arguing that living as trans is somehow LESS transgressive? like, sorry, categorically you are saying the exact same transphobic shit that all those “Bridget should just be a feminine guy!!!!” people into Guilty Gear. in fact, “does he have to be trans? i think it’s more meaningful for him to be a feminine guy” is basically the only thing people ever say to trans headcanons. fuck, it’s actually what a lot of transphobic people say to REAL trans people
remember when i got cancelled & harassed by transmisogynists for saying that Andrew Hussie's works had more interesting things to say about gender than Alison Bechdel's? terf website.
another common & obviously transphobic opinion from the “Empire Strikes Back isn’t canon!!! Darth Vader being Luke’s father is a woke retcon!!!!” camp of homestuck fans.
so @solarempress — does it not make sense for me to be a transsexual lesbian in her 20s because I thought I was a straight boy at 13? 🤔 like come on at this point you’re being just as conservative & blatantly bigoted as the “ghostbusters can’t be female” crowd
real charming people in the homestuck fandom.
