can i rq something for lady d?

i keep thinking about what her reaction to a trans guy would be yk? her hatred of men is Severe but what's the actual reason for that? if biology or societal norms are factors would she have different opinions on transmen?

my thoughts have always been that either she hates men cause of resentment at the power they hold in the world, especially at the time she was alive before she met miranda, and now that she has as much power as she does she doesnt want to deal with them in any way whatsoever or my other theory is trauma based, that a man did something to her or being a woman in the time she was alive was literally just a series of traumatic experiences leading to complex trauma perhaps even cptsd or really just a deepseated hatred for the power men held over her as a woman in her time and, again, now that she has the power than she does, she can make it so she never has to see men (other than the other lords of course) again

and of course theres probably a million theories on the origin of her hatred i havent thought of that could explain! maybe shes just an absolute boss who simply hates men cuz they suck! i have no idea but i want to hear people opinions and looking outside of the cis way of things, what would her reaction be to a trans man? a trans woman? a nonbinary person? im very curious especially cause of When shes from and societal opinions surrounding gender at the time and how those effected her, how her ideas have changed over the many years shes been around?

anywho im curious on your thoughts!! this is a topic that Fascinates me

- yr local transmasc psych major

Thanks for such a good topic for discussion! I'd love to chat about it.

At the very beginning I'd like to emphasize - I'm a cis woman so my opinion could be different then yours - point of view depends on where you sit.

However, lets start!

The first thing; why Lady Dimitrescu hates men? Personaly; I think she hm... likes the idea of woman more? For me, she just seems like a er person who could help her greatest enemy (a woman) to prevail over a man.

Now, when I was thinking i came to conclusion; maybe she doesn’t even like women more - she just hates men so she has to like women??

Before Miranda, she lived in a well, hard times. And Im quite sure that she had met a lot of men who were bad. Looking down at her because she was a woman, hating her because she was a woman, pushing her around because she was a woman, subjugating her to themselves because she was a woman.

I think she would live like that quote: “I hated men because they didn’t have to suffer like a woman did. They could die or go to Spain. They could have fun while a woman had birth pangs. They could gamble while a woman skimped on the butter on the bread. Men, nasty lousy men.”

The next thing, she was smart enough to notice the power men had. Just the word "man" hold so much of it - “don’t cry like a woman/do it like a man.” She would notice the way that the men under her were respected more than her. Her title “Countess” seemed to not exist because it weren’t “Count”. And Alcina loves power and freedom.

And i think she truly despised the power men had over women - they had to act like the men please, to speak, to look, to live. They didn’t have the chance to go for a walk in the death of night or to become a politician.

For nonbinary people; I don’t think she would treat them any different than women. I mean; they are not men and a reason why she treats women “better” is because they are not men. From the other side; I don’t really see her caring about the gender of her meal but Im of the opinion that in e.g. conversation she would respect pronouns ect, hell, she would even allow trousers in her castle - because she knows how it is; to be disrespected and humiliated

And when it comes to transmen I see one option really; she seems to be an open-minded person so transmen = men (we all know that, i hope.) I think the biological aspect of that wouldn’t matter. They are men and she would treat them as so. However I do not see her brain cells being like “he is a man now, you hate him from now.”

Maybe, over year her perspective changed a little bit. She could work with some man if she had to - e.g. Karl. So, if she would be in any kind of relations with a transman she would adjust to that thing and live with that - just as she has to live with Karl

I think the subject is interesting and would love to hear your opinion on that!
