I like getting misgendered and perceived as the other gender but not because i want to be another gender/am trans but because i love confusing people and making them play guessing games and getting misgendered makes me feel like i've successfully deceived someone and boy do i like some mischievous trickery.

Hmm humans are very social beings. So are transformers.

In order to survive we developed skills that would help us point out possible threats for life. We learned to feel pain, learned to be afraid of the unknown, learned that when we have others around us we are more likely to survive. So did transformers, and they even have the same goal to reproduce themselves. In a way different from our but still

I wonder what equivalent do transformers have to our crying? It's not like it's impossible for them to cry, but they have some very important differences from our physiology.

Main difference is sound for sure, since there's no lungs and no speech apparatus to go crazy and choke on air and whine.

We of course have some hormonal differences but hormones are a part of homeostasis, which is very much dictated by our genome which is basically a code of our body programme.

Do transformers have a programme? For sure, so there might be some instincts and vegetative reactions, and hormones are a part of vegetative nervous system. So transformers might have something compared to our hormones and might have same reactions to same situations as we do thanks to those... let's call em veg signals.

So what's the difference? Well human crying is caused by excessive amount of stress hormone and this guy makes our whole body work faster, and the same is happening with bots, but as we are filled with some sort of threat for life we seek for safety, and one of these safe things are probably other people. We have a physical need to be close to someone when we are scared, and that's why people might yell or cry when distressed, to call someone to help.

But bots, do they have any of those physical needs? How would they call others for help? What is safety for them?

Feeling of safety takes second place in Maslow's pyramid of needs, and well I think that it fits transformers quite good. And since transformers are very social there should be some safety needs satisfied with the help of society. Like holding hands, hugging, looking in one's eyes, showing your hands etc. Sex including.

But returning to og question, what might be transfomer equivalent of crying? What would make bots feel an urge to help others? Maybe there would be some visual aspects, different from our human change in posture and accelerated metabolism... for sure there would be some special signals varying in intensity and message

You know that joke, about how dogs can't recognize themselves in the mirror, and see a different dog entirely when it's really been them the whole time?

saw a post about how the animators deliberately added masculine undertones to gwen’s character design, and it got me thinking.

we know that after you’ve been bitten your body develops to suit the demands of the bite- usually becoming taller, muscular, senses heightened etc. it would be interesting to see how that transformation adheres to a trans person? would it be affirming, alleviate dysphoria or perhaps even cause distress? the relationship with a super human body in superhero films are usually glossed over (most of the time) and it made me wonder how this experience could impact trans people & their complex connection with their bodies ..esp because you could DEFINITELY read the spiderman plots as trans allegories. becoming spiderman is a concept, the whole message is always “anyone can be spiderman” esp in the spiderverse films.

anyways marvel nerds..help me flesh out this idea because i think it would be a really interesting concept to explore..!!

Me in 2016: You know, saying things like "trans rights are human rights" doesn't necessarily mean that person is safe around trans people. In fact, sometimes people still have unchecked bias against trans people, and that can be clouded by them saying that trans rights are human rights. It can prevent them from fully looking into their own preconceptions about cissexism and trans people.

Me in 2023: Oh, thank gd this person said "trans rights are human rights," I was worried they also abhorred trans people

A sign that I was trans before I realized it was when I was younger, my sister kept telling me that I was a boy and that my name was Jonathan. Now, even though I was a child, I knew the difference between boys and girls. I knew I had a girl body, but I believed it. It could be because I was an impressionable child, but my sister also told me I was adopted (which I wasn't), and I didn't believe her about that. The only part that truly stuck was me being a boy

Idk why the fucken... Divide between "it was alternate universes" & "Paul is just trans" ideas for Petscop has to be torn into a cavern. Paul being trans DOES make sense, but requires you to ignore huge details that immediately make it not work. The alternate universes DO kind of make sense, but require you to extrapolate out a lot of info purposefully left unshown.

It's hard to describe what i want to say, here -- i do think Paul being trans makes sense, 'splains why he & Care "look eeriely similar," you could argue he's just thoroughly blocked out that part of his life enough to have forgotten Care entirely, etc. I like it, & i keep it as i also say "Yeah, it's that & the universes theory." It's not two switches that demand you can only flip on one of them -- you can have both. You can have neither. Do whatever

'oh boy can't wait to write Eleven and the Master being sad and wet-' wrong. writing Amy and Rory and Mels growing up queer as hell and kinda ostracized in their small town and feeling like there should be something more to it all. THEN down the line Eleven and the Master are being sad and wet.

I fucking hate how the solution to mass violence is always "restrict Internet usage" and not punishing specific people who make a living out of using immigrants/trans people/whoever the cultural demon of the week is as political footballs

internal dilemma led me to take a test that showed a link between 83% of my experiences with agender folks and 60% with genderqueer. but i didnt even know how to answer most of the questions

agender and/or genderqueer people - how do you know the label fits for you? how do you relate to the term? please share in comments or reblogs <3333
