#canon trans characters

[neopronouns-in-action]

Dear Doctor Who Fandom:

First, an image to get your attention.

[ID: Multiple colors and font styles of text on a background of stars, reading, "You don't get to say 'Doctor Who says trans rights' if you misgender the Meep! Now that you know how, do better!". "you don't get to say" is in purple curved text, then "'Doctor Who says" is in skinny, all caps blue. "trans rights'" is in yellow, thin cursive. "if you" is in scifi-blocky blue. "misgender" is in spooky, dripping red, and "the Meep" is in a futuristic style in green. "Now that you know how, do better!" is in light grey. End ID.]

If you are talking about the Meep from the TV show, rather than Beep the Meep from the comic(???), the Meep uses nameself pronouns. Aka, the Meep is referred to as the Meep.

The Meep from the show and Beep the Meep from the comic are clearly two different characters, who use different pronouns and have different names.

The Meep does not use he, she, they, or it pronouns. The Meep's pronouns are "the Meep"!

And if you're confused, don't worry! That's what this blog is for!

The Meep uses a form of nameself pronouns with the in front, so that means:

Instead of saying "he", "him", "she", "her", "they", "them", or "it", you say "the Meep".

Instead of saying "his" "her" "hers" "their" "theirs" or "its", you say "the Meep's".

Instead of saying "himself" "herself" "themself" or "itself", you say "by the Meep's self" or "on the Meep's own" or another variation.

Examples for all the pronouns listed above so you see how they each work differently from eachother:

= = =

he/him/his/himself

"He is going to adopt a new puppy soon, as soon as he gets a fence set up around his yard so the puppy can go outside without him having to walk it. His uncle is going to help set up the fence, since he has a set of power tools he’s letting him use, since he lost his. He's going to buy toys and train the puppy himself.”

= = =

she/her/(hers)/herself

"She is going to adopt a new puppy soon, as soon as she gets a fence set up around her yard so the puppy can go outside without her having to walk it. Her uncle is going to help set up the fence, since he has a set of power tools he's letting her use, since she lost hers. She's going to buy toys and train the puppy herself."

= = =

they/them/their/(theirs)/themself

"They are going to adopt a new puppy soon, as soon as they get a fence set up around their yard so the puppy can go outside without them having to walk it. Their uncle is going to help set up the fence, since he has a set of power tools he's letting them use, since they lost theirs. They're going to buy toys and train the puppy themself.”

= = =

it/its/itself

“It is going to adopt a new puppy soon, as soon as it gets a fence set up around its yard so the puppy can go outside without it having to walk it. Its uncle is going to help set up the fence, since he has a set of power tools he’s letting it use, since it lost its. It's going to buy toys and train the puppy itself.”

= = =

Becomes:

The Meep/The Meep's

"The Meep is going to adopt a new puppy soon, as soon as the Meep gets a fence set up around the Meep's yard so the puppy can go outside without the Meep having to walk it. The Meep's uncle is going to help set up the fence, since he has a set of power tools he's letting the Meep use, since the Meep lost the Meep's. The Meep going to buy toys and train the puppy on the Meep's own." (Or by the Meep's self).

= = =

I really need you all to understand that this formatting of pronouns is not a thing that only exists in the fictional universe that is Doctor Who. There are a lot of neopronoun users that use this exact format, with different nouns in place of "Meep".

This is a real neopronoun format that real people use. Please be respectful and learn how to use them.

Especially when the character explicitly tells you that these are the pronouns the Meep uses.

Why is it that most transmasc characters have their transness questioned or invalidated?

[mycroftrh]

Okay, this (male-voiced) character in Tears of the Kingdom is pretty clearly intended to be trans, right? That’s not just me?

May that flame always burn bright for you, Vivian. You are a woman and a good sister no matter what anyone else says.

Something about the inherent Lest/Maddie parallel that exists in Arcane S2—each of them the honeypot relaying the pillow talk of the clueless aristocrat they're sleeping with back to who they're really loyal to—and the way it reflects how Mel learned more from her mother than she likes admitting to herself (or than Ambessa ever gave her credit for until the very end) because, on the surface, they both use the same tactic to keep an eye on their potential rival.

And yet! Mel's compassionate treatment of Lest (a trans woman sex worker who she considers a genuine friend, is protective of and willing to accept criticism from, and who she refuses to consider expendable) contrasted to Ambessa's contingency plan with Maddie (a radicalized fascist who she converted into an asset by convincing her she was a more effective leader than Caitlyn and who was, in the end, eminently expendable) is one of the starkest illustrations of just how different Mel is, and how much better a leader of the Medarda clan she's going to be.

people who refer to their favorite characters with pronouns that deviate from what said character uses in canon are stronger than any us marine

[bamfwizard]

my extended analysis of queer undertones in the X-Men universe basically goes,

"it's a really great metaphor for the queer experience of surviving in a world that denounces your existence, dodging metaphorical and literal bullets everywhere, while still lifting up others in your community and finding solace in like-minded people"

"and Charles and Erik have something really really gay going on too"

Keep Your Shirt On is a White Noise minicomic about being transgender, giving away secret family recipes, and making zines. I completed it recently and I'm proud of it so I thought I would post it separately!

It's also on my site here, and if you'd like to read the whole comic featuring these characters (and more queer monsters) you can start here. Please mind the warnings on the About page!
