germany currently in the middle of getting a law into practice that allows total self-id for trans people via their local registry, without involving any panels or medical diagnoses
am so absolutely going to be one gender in germany and another in england, it'll be hilarious
#england: wait you're introducing actual self-id that's accessible and not tied to pathologisation or on the whims of a cis-panel?#germany: what like it's hard?#of course the og is argentina - 2012 baybee#trans stuff#queer stuff#trans rights#actually just looked it up and some version of self-id is available in 15 countries in the world#that's a pretty good start

It's definitely a topic that gets even more tangled up with bloodbornes overall themes of femininity and motherhood, explored further if you've seen the Viscerally Feminine video on youtube. It's entirely possible that the Great Ones even *do* align with femininity, but in a way that's kind of twisted. (Great Ones, surrogates, blah blah blah, parentage isn't necessarily related to gender but bb seems to have Stuff Going On) (I am very tired fkshsjsh)
i have watched that video, i thought it was amazing!!! bloodborne has such insanely complex commentary on womanhood. i genuinely think the themes of womanhood, menstruation, childbirth, and the visceral transformation of the flesh are crucial to why itās been such an enduringly frightening classic.
my take on the great ones and womanhood has always been that itās something humans assigned to them. they saw a Thing which had a child (kos) and designated her a āmotherā because to them, mothers are the ones who bear children. they saw a Thing guarding a baby that didnāt belong to it and named her āwetnurseā because in their minds, women are the nurses of babies. equally, in Oedon they saw a Thing which was capable of impregnating people against their will and decided it was a āheā, because in their minds, men are the ones who sire children in others.
iāve always loved this reading, because it is very catholic of the church to look at things they donāt understand and try to forcibly assimilate them into existing hierarchies instead of understand them without. like, in my mind, oedon isnāt really a āheā, oedon acts a lot more like a parasite does in nature by forcing other animals to take care of its offspring. kos may not have been a mother at all ā male seahorses are the ones who carry children after all. my point in saying all this is that nature is messy, and the great ones are flesh just as any other part of nature might be ā but the church has tried to force the great ones into their tidy little boxes of gender binary in order to reinforce the hierarchy which lends them their power.
all that to say ā i agree that the great ones do align with femininity in a ātwistedā way, and the above is my thoughts on why that might be!
as for women being more āin tuneā with the great ones ā itās fascinating for sure! iāve always thought that the blood saints did require some sort of treatment by the church to gain that property ā possibly by having the blood of the great ones imbued into them directly? ā but itās nebulous at best what the process of āgroomingā a blood saint looks like. of course, we also have arianna and annalise ā but as probable descendants of the pthumerians, it may be that connection which grants them ākinshipā of sorts with the great ones, and since theyāre the only survivors of cainhurstā¦ well, itās not as though weāve got much of a sample size. regardless, however, the fact of the matter is that many women we meet over the course of bloodborne are closely tied to the great ones (adella, adeline, arianna, annalise, fauxsefka, rom, etcā¦) i truly do wonder if the game overall was drawing on the idea of the āmonstrous feminineā by having human women and great ones connected the way they are?
i love this game because thereās so many fascinating readings you can come away with!!! all of this is totally just ad-libbed, i hope it makes sense! and thank you so much for your thoughts!!!
#percy theoryposting :)#i guess lol#bloodborne#ask#its hard as well with bloodborne#with the elephant in the room of ātrans people exist!ā#and im of two minds about it#on one hand it sometimes feels bioessentialist in its presentation but i canāt help but wonder if its trying to comment on#rigid gender hierarchy and gender binary#like what was the point of all the reproduction based horror. what was the point it was trying to make#i dont really know#but in somewhat unrelated news i DO think Alien was So Right for the chestburster happening to men too#reproductive horror at its FINEST baybee

It's really hard to be on your side on this "egg" discourse because I'm seeing so many trans women say that getting egg jokes before they transitioned made them feel worse and delay their transition, and they don't like it when people make those jokes retroactively either.
I've also seen trans people say other trans people made egg jokes about them while assuming they were cis, hence joking that they were secretly the gender they were trying to transition away from, which also made them feel horrible.
I agree with you on the point that being transfem isn't a bad thing and it's excessive to compare those jokes to Christian missionaries, TERFs, etc, ie. people who actually commit violence. I don't get, however, why you need to resort to saying "it's not bad to misgender cis people because cis people aren't as affected by it" (the second part of the sentence I agree with. the first part I don't) to prove that point
i mean, i've also seen trans people say those things--but on the other hand i've seen trans people say that being encouraged by their friends saved their lives, or that they felt furious and cheated when people told them they'd known but hadn't told them, or that their lives would have been infinitely better if someone had just given them a push at the right time. it turns out "trans people" do not have the same uniform experiences across the board and trying to prescribe one perfect model of behaviour that applies to all circumstances doesn't work!
like, sure, the people you're talking about exist, and matter, and it sucks that they had those experiences--but trying to universalise out their experiences to create a template to enforce (against trans women, always against trans women, 'who are we doing it versus?' it's always gonna be trans women baybee) doesn't help anyone. you just have to treat each individual person you know with tact and nuance and be wrong sometimes and upset each other and let each other down sometimes.

One thing that I feel like has really gotten lost, and which is spinning right around back into being bigotry, is...
Feminists for a while have been saying things like,
"When a man takes charge he is a leader; when a woman takes charge she's called "bossy"."
The point of this is to fight negative stereotypes applied to women when they take charge. This is a good thing! We should fight those stereotypes!
But what I think has happened is that morality is being attached to the behavior based on the gender of the person doing it, and this phrase is no longer functioning as a critique of a double standard. The problem wasn't "someone being loud is Bad", the problem was one gender was being praised for that behavior and another one was being ridiculed.
So now people are saying "man = loud = bad". When HE is being loud, issuing orders, and setting deadlines, he's a Scary Aggressive Man... but it's ok when SHE does it (if she's white)! She's a #GirlBoss!
Let's say you have a trans man. He was doing all of these things before he started transitioning, and he was called "girlboss!" and "empowered!" and "leaning in!" and all these great things...
And then he transitions.
And now suddenly that same exact behavior is "bad"?
The behavior was never good OR bad. The lesson was supposed to be that there was a double standard being applied to women for executing the same behavior as men, not that "when a man does X it's bad but when a woman does X it's good".
But that's how the term "mansplaining" has been twisted to mean "any time a man speaks" and why trans men are being accused of "becoming aggressive" when we transition.
No, we're behaving exactly the same. It's just that now, you're looking at our behavior through the lens of a masculine gender instead of a feminine gender, and deciding that the identical behavior is now unacceptable.
And that's antimasculism, baybee.

Statistically, you are going to grow old. You are going to become a grey wrinkled trans elder in a rocking chair. Please know this. Don't walk through life as if you don't have a future.
was talking to my gf about my fear of dying young for being trans and my mom putting my deadname on my gravestone, and she said "i hope that never happens, but if it does, i will carve your name into your grave myself if i have to." and i think theres something extremely raw about that sentiment and trans community in general. you can kill only our bodies, but you cant kill transsexuality

Btw im a trans buck truther, I love hcing big buff men as trans men it's one of my favorite things. Soft fictional men with muscles who are comfortable and confident in their masculinity? That's a trans man right there baybee. I have so much to say about him but I'm trying to not let 911 take my brain over again. Like his chosen name is Evan but his parents used it like a slur in his own home where he was supposed to be the most comfortable( "What were we supposed to do?" "...love me anyway."), so he started asking people to call him buck later in life :( ugh I'm so attached to that goofy firefighter boy. He doesn't come out to anyone besides the women he sleeps with after he moves to LA and goes stealth, the "fire hose" nickname was not about his physical body. The first person he confides in is ironically Eddie after an emergency relating to a transgender teen and obviously Eddie accepts him hands down. I might honestly write a fic about this I'm brain rotting again.

So, I think the Viz dub of Sailor Moon is unquestionably the definitive English dub, no question about it. It blows DiC and Cloverway out of the water, and while I miss some of DiC's musical scores and songs, it is still clearly superior. With that said, these are the voices from those old dubs that I feel are just as good - and rarely, even better - than Viz's ones.
Usagi - Tracey Moore (DiC). To this day, Tracey Moore might be the most believable voice Usagi has ever had. Kotono Mitsuishi and Stephanie Sheh may be more definitive, but both are clearly putting on a high-pitched voice, whereas Moore's high-pitched voice sounded natural, like a real teenage girl's. More importantly, she nailed Usagi's character. Beyond Terri Hawkes being completely failed by her incompetent fanboy of a voice director who lacked all objectivity when it came to her and Linda Ballantyne being miscast, neither of them got Usagi's character right, voicing her as if she's a regular teenage girl which Usagi is not: she's a 14 year old who starts out with the maturity of a 7 year old. Moore had that childish quality down perfectly, as well as the heroic quality as Sailor Moon. That she ended up voicing the character the least out of anyone due to DiC rushing production is absolutely criminal.
Ami - Karen Bernstein (DiC). C'mon, how can you not like that odd Trans-Atlantic accent she gives Ami? Or the way she says "Mercury Bubbles - BLAST!" It sounds so appealing.
Rei - Katie Griffin (DiC/Cloverway). Now I love Cristina Vee, and kudos to Emily Barlow for temporarily filling in for Katie and giving a damn fine impression. But something about Katie's voice for Rei just sounds, much like Tracey Moore as Usagi, natural. I tend not to hear someone putting on a voice performance with Katie; I just hear Rei / Sailor Mars herself.
Makoto - Susan Roman (DiC/Cloverway). She did a great job. Not much else to say.
Minako - Emily Barlow (Cloverway). I will say that Stephanie Morgenstern did a far better job in the Pioneer-issued DiC movie dubs than she did in the show proper, but I still felt she failed when it came to conveying Minako's comedic side. Emily Barlow, fresh off of filling in for Katie Griffin as Mars, did a great job with that part of Minako's character. She was hilarious.
Mamoru - Vincent Corazza (DiC/Cloverway). Rino Romano was good as Mamoru but not as Tuxedo Mask, while Toby Proctor sucked as both. While he's no Robbie Daymond, Vincent Corazza is still the first to actually do the voices for Mamoru and his alter-ego well.
Artemis - Ron Rubin (DiC/Cloverway). Ron Rubin took a long time to get this voice down, voicing him too deeply in his first two episodes and then too high and scratchy for most of the DiC dub afterwards. But by the movies and Cloverway, he'd settled into an appropriate sounding voice for the character, nailing both his even-tempered and his comedic moments.
Shingo - Julie Lemieux (DiC/Cloverway). Here it is: a rare case of an old dub voice being much better than the Viz dub counterpart. I have no idea why Nicolas Roye was cast by Viz, but it didn't work. Julie Lemieux's voice actually sounds like a young boy's and is fitting to hear coming out of Shingo's mouth, rather than endlessly distracting like hearing Roye's is.
Naru - Mary Long (DiC/Cloverway). "It's Mawwwwwly!" Look, take the memeable accent out of the equation and Mary Long still put on a sweet and earnest performance as Usagi's best friend. And while I normally prefer Danielle Judovits, Mary's acting in Nephrite's death scene absolutely puts her to shame. It truly sounds like a girl screaming and crying as her love dies.
Chibiusa - Stephanie Beard (Cloverway). It's Suga BayBee, do I need to explain more?
Queen Beryl - Naz Edwards (DiC). The only issue I have with Naz Edwards is that she often wasn't directed to keep her voice down when she should in a scene, but that's not her fault. That aside, she was incredible as Queen Beryl, giving a theatrical performance that is both amusingly camp when it needed to be and maliciously terrifying when it needed to be. I honestly think Viz lucked out, as Cindy Robinson is perhaps the only voice actress I know of who is capable of matching Naz vocally. It is very difficult for me to choose between them.
Jadeite - Tony Daniels (DiC). Kevin Lund could've been great as Nephrite but he sucked due to crappy direction, Kirsten Bishop was great as Zoisite but the gender was all wrong, and Denis Akayama was wildly inconsistent as Kunzite. Tony Daniels as Jadeite is the only one who got it down perfectly, with a suitably smug, sadistic, raspy voice that could also disguise itself whenever the character was disguising himself. I prefer Todd Haberkorn, especially since he can do equally well as Crystal's Jadeite, but Tony Daniels was still great.
Ail - Vincent Corazza (DiC). Look, Brian Beacock is more accurate to the Japanese voice and has a better script, but I just love Vincent Corazza's dorkier take. It's just so lovable!
En - Sabrina Grdevich (DiC). Look, Dorothy Fahn is more accurate to the Japanese voice and has a better script, but I just love Sabrina Gredvich's dorkier take. It's just so lovable!
Grandpa Hino - John Stocker (Cloverway). Another time an old dub voice surpassed Viz! Michael Sorich does great and all, but John Stocker is a perfect match to the Japanese voice and even looks a lot like the character in real life! It was a casting match made in Heaven.
Rubeus - Robert Tinkler (DiC). For a third time, the old dub surpasses the new dub. Steve Staley worked better for Rubeus in Crystal, whereas Robert Tinkler did a far better job embodying the far more monstrous version in the 90s anime, with a deep voice prone to bouts of unhinged laughter. He really made Rubeus a character that you loved to despise.
Esmeraude - Kirsten Bishop (DiC). This was Bishop's best role, IMO. She had already displayed a great cackling laugh as Zoisite, so her then playing Esmeraude was perfect.
Saphir - Lyon Smith (DiC). Not much to say here. He did good.
Demande - Robert Bockstael (DiC). Sexy but creepy voice is fittingly sexy but creepy.
Wiseman - Tony Daniels (DiC). Tony did as good a job as Wiseman as he did with Jadeite, which is why it's so frustrating that he kept getting hampered by needless vocal effects.
Professor Tomoe - Jeff Lumby (Cloverway). Jeff Lumby did an excellent job being hammy, sinister, intelligent and hilarious sounding. He was clearly having a total blast in this role.
Diana - Loretta Jafelice (Cloverway). Her high, squeaky voice was annoying, but perfect.
Fisheye - Deborah Drakeford (Cloverway). What is fascinating about Deborah's performance is that even as the fact was being censored for TV, she still voiced the character like a trans woman. There are several occasions where you can hear a masculine quality seep through even though it's a female voice actress. She deserves mad props for that.
Hawk's Eye - Benji Plener (Cloverway). He sounds a lot like Michael Yurchak, just slightly more posh, and something about his pink hair and outfit makes a posh tone fit him well.
Pegasus - Rowan Tichenor (Cloverway). Now hear me out on this last one - I am saying he was good as Pegasus. A soft, deep and dignified voice makes sense for him, and makes him more mysterious. The mistake came when they didn't cast someone else to voice Helios, as that voice coming out of him is more jarring than Nicolas Roye's voice coming out of Shingo!
Honorable Mention: The Amazoness Quartet. Their old dub voices were fine, but I can't say they qualify for this list since their Viz dub voices outperform them to an extreme degree.

Brownie
1. used to be a bully to rb that could never be redeemed. got redeemed.

all 4 of them are friends btw, and rb, hearts, and toppie are in a poly relationship
Sticker
1. rb's dad. abusive dad. does not correlate to anyone irl i just like giving my characters trauma
2. no design. just a square with a rip and a couple of stains. also drinks alcohol
Stuffy (stuffed animal)
1. rb's mom. dead mom. thats right baybee your boi accidentally just made the mary sue trope of one dead parent one abusive parent on accident i had no idea.
2. kind and caring, of course. died when rb was 7 trying to break up a bar fight bc she worked at a bar.

Starry
1. hart's adoptive mom.
2. changed to be male and the host of an hfjone like object show that never came to fruition, so no male host starry
Spray Can
1. hart's other adoptive mom

Iām just curious, Iāve seen you mention Mormons a couple times (something about Nia too that I forgot) and Iām curious if youāre like, post/ex Mormon or Mormon-adjacent or something? Bc I amā¦ idk itās complicated lmao spiritually/mentally out, but physically halfway in, I guess? So I was just wondering, hope you donāt mind!
Feel free to ignore this if it makes you uncomfortable
ex mormon baybee!!!!!!!! baptised at eight & everything
long story somewhat short is that me & my immedeate family left the church when i was like 12 when my dad came out as gay, but i personally specifically didnt go to church much before that bc my Neurodivergencies made it hard so my parents basically gave up on trying to wrangle me every time id have a meltdown about it (long and boring + uncomfortable clothes i hate = disaster for the undiagnosed adhd trans egg and his parents) so its not like i was too indocternated in the church & all in all i came out surprisingly (but not completely) unscathed. i hear stuff from when my parents were younger and im like "fucking WHAT" like all of the time
but like it was still a big enough thing in my life for me to hc characters (modern!Nia) or see paralells in media (the church of Helios) or even write my own characters as ex-mormon (HWU!Avalon)
so me mentioning mormonism is kinda like 50/50 dunking on the old religion / feeling empathy for ppl that are stuck in a place that is not right for them. maybe more like 40/60, it really depends on what im talking about
#i do *occasionally* still do church stuff but its mostly limited to tuning out the livestream of the sacrement meetings#that my granpa & aunt play for my granma while theyre actually at church & then skedaddling it outta there when the relief society shows up#but thats Only when im visting my grandparents & we live a few states away so its not that often#(im gonna be honest i dont think my granma gives a shit about listening to the service shes mostly deaf)#(+ my mom said she pretends to fall asleep so the relief society ladies will leave faster)#(sometimes it works sometimes they leave my granma's room and start talking to Us)#(i think one of them might have seen a sexy guy image over my shoulder while i was scrolling tumblr once)#(i wasnt sitting in a way to intentionally give her a peek but my mom said shes kinda nosy & she left pretty quickly after that lol lmao)#(it wasnt even that scandelous he was just in a sexy outfit)

Wreck It Ralph Is About Trans Women In Sport
Hey, did you already listen to the Wreck It Ralph episode of The Disney Animated Canonball, a podcast where I, Talen Lee (he him) and not-appearing-in-this-post Fox Lee (she her), watched all of the Disney Animated Canon movies? If no, then keep going and you should maybe check it out later because it was a big project, watching and podcasting about 54 movies, of which upwards of five were movies I think are any good, and that there, thatās Disney magic, baybee, but if you have then this is going to sound like a rerun.
In case you donāt remember, Wreck It Ralph is an awful film.
Thereās this girl in the story named Vanellope. Sheās a girl who doesnāt present like the other girls in the game. She doesnāt have access to the ame resources as they do. They have a special slur for her, a glitch. She does not interact with reality the same way they do, and she is, very importantly, made wrong. There is something in her code, something about the way she was created, that indicates she shouldnāt exist, and she certainly cannot be a racer. The most dreadful thing in the world, the power structure says, is if she were to be a racer, and worse still if she wins. If she wins, it would destroy the world, they say, but it turns out that if she does it, itās actually worse, because her winning shows that all the fears they had about her being illegitimate are just wrong, and the result upends the power structure and dissolves an illegitimate authority asserting itself as the arbiter of what is fair and correct.
And then she gets to be a princess.
At its heart, this narrative is the same basic narrative of the trans women in sports, which is the same as the narrative of almost all times that a dominant power wants to determine who does or does not get to count as āfair playā in a sport. Sport is not a politically neutral experience, itās fundamentally going to reflect the culture and values of the communities that it includes. Consider how many sports are built in such a way as to isolate around people with different abilities, whether those abilities impose extra challenges or grant extra advantages. The rhetoric is all the same.
Itās not fair.
Sheās built wrong.
What if someone gets hurt.
These are all dumb arguments, disingenous in the extreme and I honestly do not have the inclination to address them. No, sports are not fair. The entire point of sports tournaments is to commit an elaborate sorting mechanism to find the person who can do the best version of a thing on the best day and the resultant algorithm is not a fair one. Itās explicitly unfair because of who itās choosing to include and how they get to be included.
Thereās a lot to be said about this stuff as it relates to cricket, but not by me. Itās Beyond A Boundary again, a book by CLR James about how his relationship to cricket reflected perfectly his relationship to colonial politics. The ways there were to be a good player of the game existed orthogonally to the ways you could be included in the best teams that played the game. There was a diagram of competing lines, where the darker your skin, the more skilled you had to be that you might get recruited. And when pressed on the reasons for this, youād often get some things that might sound familiar.
Maybe itās because these people have an unfair advantage and it dilutes the purity of the sport. Maybe itās because they donāt really know how to play right. Maybe itās because their presence on the field is dangerous to other players. Maybe itās because their presence is dangerous to themselves. Thereās always some reason, some reasonable cause, for these exclusions. Thereās always some idea about why itās okay for their accomplishments to not count.
These exclusionary rules and boundaries bring us back to the way that, once again, seeing the lines of the magic circle is itself an act of political privilege. If you can perceive the game as completely isolated from your material considerations then itās only through a sort of shared, desperate and absolute devotion to doing so, and the fiction that politics are not related is part of the fiction of that game.
You might wonder why Disney of all people would construct this kind of story, focusing on such an intense and timely issue, when itās not like Disney are the kind of company that wants to say anything meaningful about trans people in the first place. And of course, the answer there is of course itās not.
Itās not that the idea is explicitly about trans women in sports; itās that it takes the narrative of trans women in sports, and then tells you that story, removing trans women from it entirely. This is a recurrent thread in media, that wants to take the stories of marginalised people and restructure and process them so that they can instead be used to uplift the stories of the oppressor centre. Even in the context of Wreck-It Ralph, you have this story about Vanellope, which is nonetheless, for some reason, requires the centering of Ralph to make the story happen at all; Ralph is not a meaningful addition to her story, her story can happen entirely without him, but all this story has to be reprocessed, consumed and digested into a form where it can be the story, somehow, of an unrelated 50 year old dude who doesnāt really care about videogames.
Itās an idea that sticks with me because itās the same structure as a queer narrative, that youāll see repeated over and over again that just wants to not involve any queer people because, you know, icky. It is the invocation of trans womenās stories without involving trans women, a desire for their struggles without their identities, for fear you might feel sympathy for them and see the very reasonable ways in which their stories are unfair.
You might have to understand them, then.
Check it out on PRESS.exe to see it with images and links!
