can i say something. about the way you people talk about dungeon meshi. i find it extremely... interesting how headcanons about laios being nonbinary are framed exclusively as a way to shoot down other people's headcanons about laios being transfem. like you are aware when you have a hc that a character is nonbinary you can just... say it... and you don't need to preface it with "well i don't think they're transfem BUT".
and also i think its interesting that i never actually uhm. see anyone discussing their nonbinary laios hc in literally any detail. obviously i can't read anyones mind but it comes across to an audience like you saw someone hc laios as a trans woman, got irrationally irritated about it, found a 'progressive' and 'trans friendly' way to shoot it down, and then proceeded to continue treating him like a cis man in every post, meta, fic, etc, only ever bringing up the fact that you think laios is nb when someone else thinks laios is a woman. almost like you don't actually think that at all, and keep the idea around exclusively because transfem hcs make you uncomfortable for reasons you refuse to interrogate.
i don't think this is necessarily intentional on anyone's part, but i do think considering the discussions we have been having about transmisogyny on this website its not unreasonable to ask (especially of fellow tme trans people) that you have a long hard look at the way you respond to things like transfem hcs. while obviously fandom is #notthatdeep, it does not bode well for your ability to make room for your trans sisters for things that actually matter if you can't even do it regarding gender headcanons for anime characters
#good idea generator#ive only seen a few eps of the show am watching slowly with my sister#but i have seen A LOT of posts. many of which have been extremely... interesting. and not in the good way#also to be clear this post is not saying youre problematic for not having a transfem hc (for laios or anyone else for that matter)#but rather that the impulse to immediately shoot transfem hcs down (even if in favour of the character being otherwise trans)#THAT is whats transmisogynistic. if you don't think laios is transfem dont respond to posts abt that hc & dont mention it in your own#extremely simple solution!! and yet this is beyond the reach of tme fans and always has been#sorry for getting snippy in the tags i find it extra annoying bc like. ok remember when transmasc peter parker was a popular hc#and a bunch of cis people on here went into hysterics trying to 'prove' he was actually cis using canon#we all recognized those people are transphobic. this is the exact same thing as that#transmisogyny /
