Round B1.4

Iruma (Mairimashita! Iruma-kun) VS Nanamine Sakura (Toilet Bound Hanako Kun)

[ID: An image of Iruma, who is a pale boy with blue eyes and blue hair. The picture is not his standard appearance, but rather his akudol persona, Irumi. He wears a frilly blue dress with bows, a bat-shaped hair clip, and a one ring.

A picture of Sakura, who is a pale girl with green hair in an asymmetrical bob. She wears a long sleeved school uniform with a red brooch and stockings. /end ID]

Iruma:

most trans character of all time tbh. he's a boy. he's a girl. he LIKES being a girl. multiple canon moments where he does drag (pictured above) and gets angry when someone calls his girl persona ugly. not only this, he also gets eyeliner when he goes evil mode. he is so trans in so many ways

note from the pollrunner: i couldn't find a good full-body pic of iruma as he usually appears, so i'm using his girlsona, but honestly i'm completely justified in this. he looks cute

Sakura:

I mean she doesn' t really care what gender we refer to them as so I just wanted to add them in here

hello, and welcome to the official 2023 mcyt trans swag tournament! this blog was inspired by the iconic @mcytblrsexymen , and is run by @aliennopossumm ! my name is roman, im 16, use xe/its/him pronouns, and i am a genderqueer transmasc!

above are the current standings and the competitors! please note, this blog is strictly going off the trans swag of the characters, not the content creators behind them!

polls will be tagged as #mcytransswag , posts unrelated will be tagged #noncompetition , current standings will be tagged #mcytransstandings , and reblogs of propaganda will be tagged #mcytranspropaganda . all the aforementioned tags will be on this pinned post for ease of finding them!

happy voting! may the character with the most trans swag win!

rules for voting below the cut!

please vote once! do not create/use alt accounts to vote more than once

however, telling people to vote for who you want to win is a-okay, even if theyre not into mcyt!

propaganda is not only allowed, but encouraged - tag me (@mcytransswag , one t and two s'!) and i will reblog it here! you can also send submissions or asks with propaganda!

"send me proof that you voted [x] and i will make something for you" is also completely fine!

please do not start discourse or fights over this! its supposed to be a silly contest, nothing serious

i would prefer this poll to not breach containment! i do not really want the cc's to know about it

it's okay if you disagree with the headcanons given (eg: "i dont headcanon [x] as trans", "i dont headcanon [x] as transmasc" etc), but again, please do not fight over it! all the people in this competition were submitted by others! (also explains "why is [x] here?" questions. they were submitted by someone, i only personally watch about 12 people, out the 32, in the competition!)

note: i will be voting myself and making propaganda. i consider this completely fair, as its just one vote from me, and i honestly dont have that much in the realm of followers on my main.

[intersexswagbracket]

hi there!!!! I saw how much fun these silly competition blogs were, and decided to try my hand at one :D.

--

Mod:

Petra | It/its + ae/aer | Intersex + genderqueer :o)

--

You can submit any fictional character you like! As long as you think they have Intersex Swag....

I think i will be choosing about 32, but i may change my mind.

Please keep in mind this is just a silly little competition, nothing serious!! I just thought this would be a fun idea.

Quick rules:

- Don't get mad at me for my goofy little competition! It's just for fun!

- No real people! Only fictional characters, please!

- I won't answer invasive asks about my anatomy! Please do not send these!

- I reserve the right to accept or reject any character for any reason!

- I am also not omnipotent so i'm sorry if i goof up! This is just a funny game!

- Headcanons are totally ok, intersex swag is an energy. I don't want anyone fighting about canon-vs-noncanon when intersex rep is already pretty sparse!!

With all that out of the way, asks and nominations are open, i don't bite!!

I saw your post about Tdov

And was wondering about you trans Psychonauts villain headcannons (oc and cannon)

!!

For canon characters I headcanon Loboto as transmasc and Oleander as genderqueer!

I really think Oleander wouldn’t rlly find out until he was older, like maybe even post psychonauts 1 n 2, mainly because he probably had a lot of toxic masculinity pressured onto him from his family environment lingering over. Especially given some of the things in his mind/some of his dialogue lines + not being able to get into the military and such. I’m sure Raz going into his mind and clearing some family trauma up in there tho rlly would help him figure that out later on tho!

For loboto I really don’t have a complex headcanon for him. His parents probably weren’t supportive, and his short hair in his mind as a kid was probably either just his self imaging on how he wanted to look as a child, or he took some scissors to his hair and his mom had to neaten it up even if she didn’t want his hair that short.

Okay now ocs!

Dexter is a trans guy! His parents had a really, wishy-washy personality for actually caring about Dexter, and by the time he really came out he’s already so much of a ‘problem child’ that his parents probably just Didn’t really care what he did gender wise. He was always type to actively fight any sort of girl perceptions of him, even before he knew he was trans. Most of his clothes pre-villainy consisted of t shirts and shorts exclusively (not really how he wanted to dress, but still it’s not girly clothes lmaoo) he Definitely just took a pair of scissors to his hair and just cut it short himself, probably in a public bathroom with some scissors he stole who knows.

Batty’s also a trans guy (I am not immune to trans boy having trans guy mentor gender envy) he grew up in such a weird environment (being an orphanage scientific experiments were conducted in) that he Really didn’t have the freedom to do anything for himself until he was like 16, when he left. He never presented femininely, not exactly by choice but he didn’t dislike it. He kind of just continued to present masculinely as he grew up, but this time socially transitioning as well. He realized he was trans younger than that, but probably didn’t do anything on account of “yeah he Wanted to be a boy, but he didn’t know he could just Do that” until he was out on his own.

Wanda is a trans woman! I think she would probably have had more of a neutral environment like Dexter, not really transphobic, but not really super supportive either. I think she would’ve found out when she was a preteen, like 11-13 ish. I don’t really have much for Wanda’s parents, but I kinda wanna think up something for them, I think it would be interesting if it was like, she had a lot of siblings/really busy parents that they just didn’t rlly remember which one she was anyway so she kinda flew under the radar with being trans anyway.

Ant! Ant! They’re non binary (they/he), there’s really not much to their backstory in the ways of trans things, I think their parents would be supportive, but I also think they were SUPER OVERLY SHELTERING like to an extreme degree, so any sort of love was probably held over his head to make him anytime he wanted to leave them or what have you. Idk if they woulduse their support as leverage. But maybe.

Lastly Minerva isn’t ‘canonically’ trans in oc world or whatever but I think she has some transfem swag. Old woman weird hag tfem swag

[yardsards]

VOTE LAKE!!!

listen. both of these characters fall under tropes that queer fans tend to project our experiences onto. danny has the secret double life trope (sometimes treated as a metaphor for being closeted) and the superhero transformation trope (transitioning). lake has the clone choosing and asserting their own identity trope (discovering your gender identity and asserting it to others) and nonhuman character fighting to be treated as a person trope (fighting against dehumanization and fighting to be seen as your true gender)

danny has little details that we can gather as "evidence" that he's trans. his character design, his clothes, jokes about him not being a real man, that thing with the clones, etc.

lake has things like the scene where they shave their head and change into more masculine clothes, their clear discomfort when wearing feminine clothes (including in the fashion car where it wasn't tulip's clothes), discomfort at being called things like "chrome girl" and "little girl", and choosing their own name (a name quite common with nonbinaries, in my experience)

but with danny, we have to put in a lot of work to find those details and stretch them to fit a trans narrative

with lake, those details are just... given to us. and they're explicitly ABOUT gender. like, lake is textually genderqueer. the only thing we need to interpret subtext for is to decide that they're transmasc, rather than a gnc cis woman or a flavour of enby that wouldn't wanna call themself transmasc

and finally, lake just has this powerful Energy about them that danny lacks. idk. and i don't think general swagger is a necessary component of Transmasc Swag but nonetheless, lake is definitely more swaggy than danny.

lake has gotta win this one

ROUND THREE- Transmasc Swag Polls

[lnuzzles]

still crushing them Easter floral looks. Even in a dress I had that pretty boi swag, look at that jaunty ass hat tip! Easter’s always been a big Black holiday - it was one of the few days we’d get off as slaves, a rare chance to be with family, and a time to show off our threads. As the years march on the holiday has been infused with our fight for social justice, equality, and the right to just fucking live. I’m grateful that today I’m in a community that sees the reality of unarmed Black folks gunned down by the police state in the story of the crucifixion, and the hope that someday someday someday this will all end. Whatever you believe, today I hope you get to rest, recharge, and get roasted by your “pretty” pops 💜 • • • • • • • #family #easter #black #transgender #transisbeautiful #genderqueer #genderfluid #enby #blackexcellence #dapper #dapperq #queer #qtpoc #blacklivesmatter #nonbinary #ootd #fashion #outfit #extra #churchauntie #intraining https://www.instagram.com/p/BhCoq2bhyBk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zghu3avpl7v8

Avery:

They are cool

[genderqueerswagfight]

Round A1.3

Wataru Hibiki (Ensemble Stars) VS HiMERU (Ensemble Stars)

[ID: A picture of Wataru Hibiki, who is a tall young man with pale blue hair that reaches past his back, some of it tied into a small bun at the back of his head. He wears a three-piece suit with a white ruffled cravat, a white tailcoat lined with pale blue fabric, a pale blue waistcoat, white pants, short white gloves and white shoes. The white parts of his outfit have golden embellishments.

A picture of HiMERU, who is a person of average build with smooth, light blue hair cut right above his shoulders and yellow eyes. He wears a houndstooth patterned jacket with yellow, black and purple accents, a black shirt with a white honeycomb pattern in the middle, black pants with white and yellow stripes with a hexagon motif running down his pantlegs, a golden chain around his waist, and black loafers with yellow stripes. He also wears several accessories; two necklaces, golden bracelets, and a ring. /end ID]

Wataru Hibiki:

OK so wataru is a theater actor freak as as we all know every theater kid is queer as fuck. There have been at least two canon instances where I remember them wearing dresses for plays and they legit didn't give a single shit. Wataru is the type of person to have like 30 different pronouns in their bio and whenever someone asks their gender they just giggle and twirl their hair. The exact type of person transphobes tell people to be careful of. Just look at that hair. The amount of different hairstyles they've used in canon depending on the day. How they dress like your gay wine aunt on a DAILY basis. In the words of their normal friend eichi tenshouin: Haha. I can't say no to you, Wataru. You really embody the boisterous storm in spring.

HiMERU:

well, it’s basically a cultural acceptance that HiMERU is nonbinary. their two dormmates are on opposite ends of the gender spectrum - one canonically a trans woman and the other a hormonal manly teen. they’ve stated multiple times that they care for neither of their styles (femme and masc) which leads to the enby hc.

Kuranosuke:

Though he is canonically male he spends most of the series presenting as a female, and he does so of his own volition because it makes him feel beautiful and comfortable. On a more personal note he was just one of the first characters I saw that gave me indescribable Gender Feelings(tm).

Luna:

THEY HAVE SUPER SWAG HAIR AND A SUPER COOL OUTFIT AND THEY' RE AWESOME
