actually yknow scratch that last part cause the way the epilogues are written makes it pretty explicit that theyre not '''dubiously canon''', thats a gimmic, transmasc roxy IS hard canon. and it pisses me off even more when ppl write him off in favour of headcanons instead, which leads to MORE transmasc vs transfem rhetoric bc transfem roxy is a really popular headcanon. like hes still a trans character. in canon. roxy is still trans even using she/her in candy. THEY ARE TRANS and that is CANON. would yall do that if roxy was revealed to be canonically transfem?? would yall disregard their canonical transgenderness in favour of your cisgendered headcanon? bet yall you wouldnt. bet thatd feel way more uncomfortable for a lotta people. this is disregarding the obvious and usual amount of transphobia canon trans characters get anyway from cis people. this is about trans community in-fighting and inter-community weirdly gendered favoritism and the weird mirroring of the more typical 'boys vs girls' logic from cishet culture

why do so many people dislike or outright hate the concept of he/him transmasc roxy but at the same time love june egbert and insist that shes hard canon... like can we cool it on the transmasc vs transfem '''war''' logic..... can we cool it on the open hatred for transmascs both real and fictional.... can we not appreciate both because theyre literally the same kind of dubiously canon

#my t #idk yall im really tired of seeing blatant disregard/disinterest in transmascs and trans men voices/opinions/presences #like its starting to!!! really hurt!!! cause no one actually takes us seriously #unless we look like huge cis men with huger beards #and i know the amount of visibility transfems/trans women have is dangerous #but like #i dunno its such a nuanced and delicate issue #i just want the sneering and the hatred and infighting to stop from both sides tbh #in irl queer spaces and in fandom #cause goddamn i turn to fandom to relax #and i dont need to see ppl saying shit like #“he/him roxy isnt real to me how could they do this to my girl”#while again *really insisting* that june egbert is canon across all timelines. its EXTREMELY hypocritical n full of double-standards #and i do really hope that someday we'll get to see june cause i think thatd be really fun & interesting for john #but with how john is set up as a narrative piece in HS overall i hate to say it but i doubt it'll happen #or if she does happen we'll just get like a brief nod & a 'wow that was weird haha' from john #cause so much of johns everything is about like #masculine loneliness. masc depression symptoms. feeling weird and out of place in a patriarchal role in the home #which the egbert-crocker-harley-english's are drenched in #like their ENTIRE THING is about how lonely the cisheteronormative nuclear family is & how damaging cishet gender roles are #theyre stuck at home. theyre home stuck even if they try to move on that is the point #like literally in candy roxy and john rushed into a comphet-y* relationship and it didnt work for them #similarly- well #i dont think i gotta get into jake and jane. jane dateraped and babytrapped him. like we watched that happen #and that WAS the logical conclusion to her not questioning her brainwashing and indoctrination enough #cause we never actually see her face or address what she threatened jake with in the webcomic #she just felt ashamed and didnt talk abt it #and like when u dont face this shit it comes back around #im getting off topic #anyway the 'dubiously canon' status of the epilogues is a bit
