thinking... i want him to have been at fort coffee during removal. english guy was at ft coffee for reasons (a delegate, a soldier, a land surveyor, ?) and her family was dwindling after the removal trail and then the last members died of sickness and this english guy decides to swoop the vulnerable teenaged native girl and marry her and bring her back from his trip to the states as a curio to show off. theyre married and stay in the states for a little while (perhaps until his job term is up there?) and then head back by boat. boat gets slammed by bad weather and almost everyone dies except for our hero (well. he died in it but he didnt depart) who makes it to english shores somehow (maybe magical? thinking maybe even the white dog swims her to shore... yes... lots of layers there). and she has his documents and ends up just saying that she is now he and he is the adopted heir to the englishman and he takes over his small living and then moves forward from there. living in england over the course of the "indian wars" period and constantly being inquired after for his Opinion on the Ongoing Savagery in the States as he watches his fellows massacred and slandered and has to hold his tongue because he is truly fully alone not only in england but in the world as his familys all dead. fast forward to the late 19th C and hes got a quiet job as a bookbinder or what have you and has rather fully assimilated even as hes still on sight a novelty to most who see him, with his tan though ashy skin flat nose big lips long dark hair.. hes also like, suspended body wise in his 20s or so. young dead thing. and then my inner anglophile can run wild and draw 100 pictures of him looking handsome in victorian outfits

thinking about a new oc since last night. been a very very long time since ive whole cloth come up with a new oc, its exciting.. gonna have a lot of fun with him too. really stuck on 19th C / victorian england rn esp the academia. and on the idea of a living corpse, a la the more extreme fanon lonely avatar martin. was writing out bits about it last night and came on an idea to bring it together.. thinking. native american woman brought to england (possibly married to an englishman?) in the 19th C .. things happen, et cetera, now hes dead but still breathing walking etc. corpsey ashy complexion. now lives as a man because its the closest thing to what feels right / feels like it translates into what hes expectant of from his role in english society (smth smth 2spirit here). death as a metaphor for life within assimilation to colonialism etc. his late husband died either at his hand or more likely died maybe on the journey back to england and he arrived to the country with marital inheritance as the man had no heirs but with no guide to white society let alone proper english society. probably gets a job as a bookbinder or copyist perhaps. much to think about

I thought I was a gay trans man for many years, but after a prolonged identity crisis, I've come to the conclusion that I'm bisexual and bigender (both a man and a woman.) I've always felt an affinity for the word butch and related to (as well as was attracted to) butch women. But in my day-to-day life I'm stealth as a cis man. I want to embrace my butchness but I feel like there's nothing radical or nonconforming about my masculinity since everyone sees me as a man. Especially since I'm on the road to getting phalloplasty, I feel like this realization has been sort of pointless. I'm not like those strong butch women who are visibly gnc and unashamed, though I envy them.

honestly, i don't see anything unchallenging about any person who decides to craft a form of gender different from what they were taught was right. in even mentioning that embracing your butchness would be a decision, you are proving that there is something in that action that changes the way you think about your masculinity, and therefore how you perform it and how it relates to others. and personally, i find even the sheer use of the word butch (as a positive thing, an honorific, especially) to be radical in and of itself for the way it can open up a room.

you may come to butchness from a different angle than many butch women do, but then many butch women come at it from different angles than each other. plus, butches from all throughout history have physically transitioned for all kinds of reasons. look at leslie feinberg. to me, and to many people, i don't think it matters what people see you as, 'cause people are always going to put something on you no matter what you do. when i was younger for example, i identified as a butch lesbian, and i was just like. a teenage girl wearing masculine clothing, and in a lot of situations people just assumed i was a guy. (one time it even happened while i was literally wearing a jacket that had a double venus emblazoned on the chest.) but what they put on and expected of me didn't change the fact of what i was, how i identified, or what it meant for me to be navigating life that way.

idk, i understand where your concerns come from, but i really think this sort of self-analyzing insecurity regarding whether you're doing enough by being butch is like... one of the most prototypically butch things i've ever heard, and also one of the things i feel like all of us have to learn to shed one of these days. it's better for the soul

Gender, Sexuality, Romantic Attraction Tagging Game

How do: You put your gender, sexuality, and romantic attraction down with a line break between them—but, here's the catch, don't use any labels! So, for example, this, "Gender? Agender Sexuality? Lesbian Romantic Attraction? Demiromantic" would be this: "Gender? I hardly know 'er! Sexuality? Girl-kisser Romantic Attraction? My friends, I think"

So, here's mine!

Gender? Yours, fool Sexuality? Yes Romantic Attraction? Only if I know you well enough

is tommy/simone genderfluid? why's their feminine name in quotes?

He’s bigenderish but leans male/masculine. Simone is his birth name. It’s in quotes because he still uses it and likes it well enough, but it’s not his primary/”real” name, if that makes sense. I suppose it’s similar to treating your birth name as like... a drag persona or something.

The reason I specify he doesn’t mind is because:1) It’s one of the more obvious indicators of him being Not Binary that occurs in the story itself2) I wouldn’t want to include a character’s disliked “deadname” in my writing if I could avoid it. Makes me feel a little weird. People are constantly asking trans people about our “real” names so it’s a little spitefully satisfying to say “no, actually, that’s not this character’s real name and you don’t get to know it”
