#and they have a 'weird identity' that uve never seen before

[cericertain]

I'm going to be really honest with you. I don't know who you are but you got recommended to me, and I write this in good faith.

As a trans woman. It's appropriative as hell to call yourself a trans woman or transfem if you're afab. Doing so dilutes the usefulness of the term for actual trans women + transfems. We have to claw and bite and scratch to gain our femininity, fighting against the constant societal pressure to either curl up and die or revert to masculinity. Afab folks, regardless of their gender identity, don't. The Trans in Transgender vs the Cis in Cisgender is about change versus continuation.

Afab folks are pushed towards femininity by society, and being feminine is a continuation of that.

Frankly, I don't know if you're just a rage bait account, or if you just don't give a shit about actual trans women and trans femmes. If you do though. Find a different word. Make up your own, I don't care. Because if you do; one last thing.

Genuinely ask yourself, why do you feel the need to use this term? You have countless people asking you not to, because it is part of a long-standing culture of people who have had to form tight-knit communities of folks like each other because no one else was truly safe, and saying "actually anyone can use this as long as they're feminine and trans" robs our signifiers of effectiveness. It's appropriation 101. You are entering a space that isn't yours to enter and are taking something that isn't yours to take.

Don't take our linguistic tools of identification from us under the guise of gender liberation.

it doesnt dilute shit, you just wanna bend the term to fit a very small portion of people, guess what? gender is too fuckery to put such big things into tiny exclusionary boxes

also very gross you define transness by suffering and/or "changing". you obviously have a very narrow minded view. additonally. you cannot claim to know anyone else's experience.

there will always be diversity in being trans. no matter what, you cannot claim because someone doesnt experience the exact same thing as you words that fit them suddenly are "not allowed". trans femininity and trans womanhood can look like many things, and those labels shouldn't make you assume jack about someones life experiences because they do not give that much information. honeybees+etc ACKNOWLEDGE there are other trans experiences out there, and we do not claim to experience them. we do not speak over them. me personally, i listen to and uplift other trans folk and maybe you should too.

and i just have to mention, being AFAB doesn't except you from everything you just described. not for me specifically, but you have a very perinornative view and i in good faith wanna mention that to you.

------

about the "rage bait" section, bestie, ask yourself honestly: is it my pre conceived biases that i don't like this term or is it actually harmful?

this is the same thing y'all said about hesbians/theysbians/enby lesbians, same shit yall say about bi lesbians, again and again you wanna seperate people who don't fit into your finite view on what things can look like.

and fyi, there is a term. a term to show "hey, our experience may be diff from the average assumed experience of this group". its honeybees. but y'all attack people who make up new words anyways so whats the point lmao

------

why do i feel the need to use this term?

its a term that fits me and so i will use it.

you have had countless people ask you not to

i have had two people be transphobic to me and tell me to kms and harass me for it. yea, they do that to "odd" trans identities.

-

being transfem is not a *culture*. maybe theres cultures formed BY transfems, of course, but to say you cannot use a term that fits your experience because "well XYZ people use it this way" , guess what! ive met many trans people from all walks of life who support this stuff! almost as if every group will have exclusionary folk and that is isn't a reason to be like "yea no ur not real"

-

it doesnt rob shit of its "effective"ness, you are just mad that identities such as this point out the big flaw in a lot of people online's regressive takes. no, trans femininity is not some monolith. no, trans fem / trans masc is not the new gender binary. it is just as effective, you are just upset it includes more people than you want it to. its almost as if queer identities always spill over the tiny boxes people try and place on them

-

entered a space that isn't mine? oh i'm sorry i didn't know you were the recently elected president of transfems, so sorry your highness i will tell all the other trans people i know they now have to conform to exclusionary ideas of what gender can look like and how words around gender should be used /s

-

nobody took shit, you just got used to using transfem/trans woman to mean the same type of experience so now that experiences still exist outside of that there is a cognitive dissonance. like yea no sorry queer identities don't conform to small boxes, no matter how many new types of exclusion you make

I’ve seen a lot of gender swapped mlb stuff where either one or both of their genders are swapped. How do you think any of those variations would change the love square dynamic or the characters in general, if they would change it all?

GONNA TALK ABOUT WLW LOVE SQUARE. other variations will be elaborated on if u come back and ask my sweet anonie <3

adrienette: i feel like fem adrien would give marinette so many more demons. i could go more in depth about my visions but ifl it would be really funny to see alya try and convince marinette that girl adrien TOTALLY likes her like its SO obvious and marinette is like IT DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING ALYA SHES NICE TO EVERYONE!! plus we dont even know if adrien likes girls!! and adrien walks by only overhearing the last sentence and is like oh! i do like girls :) and then after marinette’s recovered from her heart attack the new meta becomes OKAY BUT WE DONT KNOW IF SHES ATTRACTED TO GIRLS. MAYBE SHE JUST THINKS GIRLS R REALLY FUCKING COOL!! the next day the papers announce that girl adrien is in love w ladybug

ladynoir: chat noir has got the biggest crush on ladybug like she is so seriously gay like if she didnt already know she was gay if she was the most repressed gay girlie in this gay girlie world she would know what she was with ONE look at ladybug. ladybug has no fucking idea chat noir is in love with her. she thinks they are best friends. no one understands this life other than Her. one time some sleazy guy hit on chat and ladybug beat the shit out of him. he just so happened to be akumatized but she was so pissed off and violent about it. the dating rumors and the media are the same about it. aka incredibly invasive and ladybug is just as pissed off that they think they are dating. she gets so aggressive about it to the point where chat noir asks her what she thinks about the lgbt+ community. and chat is like im sorry like im a wlw and if u dont like gay ppl thats okay i just– and then ladybug like kisses her and is like im gay too u idiot its just weird of the media to speculate so harshly and then chat is just like FROZEN and ladybug freaks out shes like IM SO SORRY I SHOULDNT HAVE LIKE I MEAN I SHOULDVE ASKED and chat is like NO ITS OK UVE KISSED ME BEFORE ANYWAY and ladybug is like THATS DIFFERENT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT HERE– and then chat kisses her to calm her down (and shut her up) and pretty much just even the scales in terms of initiated kisses. when news about girl adrien x ladybug breaks out ladybug is like ???!!!!!!!! and chat is like um do u hate that she likes u i mean the news probably waaaayyyy exaggerated what they interrogated out of her and like um so overstretched it probably haha what do u think of blonde models and um adrien i guess like do u hate her do u think shes cool do u think you could fall madly in love with her and spend all your days together

ladrien: ladybug saves girl adriens life and shes like oh thank you ladybug… ur so wonderful 😍 like so clearly into her but ladybug is dense af and also nervous af she doesnt even believe the rumors!! shes like ur welcome girl adrien haha um yeah so um i saw the news but dont worry!!!! i know how the news exaggerates all the time like they always call me and girl chat noir a couple even tho we are not!! and adrien is like oh so like… ud never date chat noir? and ladybug is like uh… we are… friends and partners. do you.. want me to date chat noir? So the news really got it all wrong and you dont like me at all? and adrien is like I DO LIKE YOU… UM WHO WOULDN’T LIKE YOU? <- she has no idea how to save this bc she wants to date ladybug but doesnt know which identity to chase her with best and she thinks ladybug might not like EITHER of her identities so shes like confused at shit but also she very easily gets her hopes up and shes like maybe i should tell her???

marichat: ifl the events of glaciator will always be so inevitable for marichat. like marinette will always look so inviting on that balcony of hers staring off wistfully into the evening air and chat noir will always feel drawn to it when ladybug is nowhere to be found… what would be fun about wlw marichat guys
