The megahaj is legally a training implement

so some stats for Meg A. Haj (Megahaj):

length: 215 cm (7 ft), her tail sticks out my bed

circumference: idk, but I can barely get my arms around her and I'm almost 6ft

weight: approx 11.5 Kg (25 lbs), I struggle to lift her

floof: a lot, way more than an IKEA blahaj :3

stuffing: much denser than an IKEA blahaj. she's about 10x larger in volume but has almost 20x the filling

cuddliness: ever so much, she keeps me company in bed every night

made with love from my mum, she had to tell me to stop saying thank you for it ;-;

here's every way wildbow accidentally made pre-meiosis "russel" thorburn transgender that i can remember. if you can think of any reasons i forgot please add on

his parents named his younger sister "ivy," as if the obvious grandmother-pandering name "rose" had already been used up. blake theorizes that they used a male version of "rose" for PMT, but this is nonsensical--there is no male form of the name rose, and everything he comes up with as a possible option (in other words, everything wildbow came up with as a possible option) is a major stretch. most don't sound even tangentially like the name "rose." it makes far more sense to assume that PMT was afab and had the deadname rose. (this also makes sense on a thematic level wrt how rose thorburn jr is supposed to be the Real heir that grandmother is forcing blake to die for, but that's getting besides the point)

rose has memories of being harassed over the inheritance by her female cousins, and the idea of these memories just being wholly pulled out of thin air when basically everything else involves memories either being split btwn blake and rose or erased altogether is weird

blake is friends with, like. a lot of gay people. textually runs in poor gay artist circles. the idea of them adopting this weirdly cool cis straight guy is funny but it makes a lot more sense if PMT was trans + gay and only got turned into a straight guy (and a straight girl) yesterday, due to the homophobia demon

PMT literally thinks "Besides, why devote any more attention to your son, when you could just start over?  Have that beautiful baby girl you wanted, right?" which is also like one of the only pieces of internal narration we get from PMT in the entire story. first girl they named rose ran away and did some shit with their gender so now they have a second girl they can't name rose but can still try to raise to go for the inheritance

in the same chapter as when pmt says that, callan is like ohhh you think youre going to worm your way in-, implied sentence ending being "-to the inheritance," which is, like. the family knows it's going To A Girl. so.

PMT was childhood friends with paige, who is The Gay Cousin. it is deeply sensible to imagine them bonding over this, regardless of whether or not PMT (or even paige) knew at the time

it is, like, fully possible for a cishet dude to get sick of living with his shitty toxic abusive family and abscond at the age of 17, but also homelessness is an extremely prevalent issue among transgender kids in abusive families. the narrative of a transmasc kid growing up in an abusive, catholic extended family where girls are pressured to compete for a very gendered inheritance + leaving at the age of 17 & finding a new home among a bunch of gay artists is Significantly more compelling than the cis dude alternative. it just is.

okay i think im running out of, like, logical errors that make sense only if pmt was trans prior to the Obliteration, so as for the thematic stuff. like i said, rose being the half grammy decided was supposed to be "real" and blake being the half that's supposed 2 die for her 2 exist, rose just being unhappy and disconnected by nature of existence while blake is the parts of pmt that escaped from the constraints of the family + found happiness, so on and so forth. "catholic grandmother literally obliterated her transmasc nonbinary grandchild by splitting them into two binary gendered halves & expecting that the man they could've been die to allow the acceptable woman--literally forced to dress in grandmother's clothes--live on and do as grandmother wished" is Everything, doing the same thing but to a cis man grandchild is significantly less compelling

Others who r very old/operating on what are explicitly stated to be oppressive and antiquated gender roles as per the book's themes about inherited/traditional forms of harm keep mistakenly calling blake she/her and rose lmao

??? probably some other thangs im forgetting

AGREE WITH YOUR PREVIOUS POST. I like mean Loop as a facade only, but we know they still care and love...

Now I have a question, what's your favorite Loop takes/headcanon

Oh my god I'm so sorry I took like two weeks to answer this one I prommy it's not bc I'm exclusively a hater or whatever. I just straight up forgot to answer Oopsie. I'm putting this under cut bc it got long enough that you all would shoot arrows at me for putting it on your dash

Anyways there's a lot of Loop Thangs I like frankly. A big one that I enjoy is when fic authors in postcanon make the transition of Loop into the party structure kind of rocky. Usually bc Loop's neuroses creating a level 12 psychic barrier between them and the party + the inherent awkwardness of meeting somebody who's apparently super close in a way (that you'll never fully understand) to one of your friends. Who let's be real I feel like half the party (coughIsabeauandMirabelle) would catch the aura of "oh they do not like us at all" from Loop. I want Loop to be happy and with their family but you just know this bitch is going to make it as difficult for themself on purpose. The Siffrin Special.

I also just generally like when they keep Loop as a star postcanon. I'm not at all a hater towards Human Loop (in fact I think it can be itself an interesting setup for a Loop fic) but I do like Loop as a star more thematically. Something about having to accept that things have changed and moving on from it regardless. Also bc Loop being dysphoric about their body scratches a very transgender projection itch in my brain Yessss little star you're stuck in a body that draws unwanted attention and which you have no control over how it looks and functions in a way that feels fundamentally wrong to you. (Pointing at canonically transgender character) Yooooo this guy is such a cool trans allegory omg

Hmm what else. This is more of a sloops thing but I always enjoy in fics when they lean into the fact it's selfcest frankly. I've become a selfcest enjoyer bc of this ship I'll never get over that act 5 dialogue abt the cautionary tale where Siffrin says he never understood the moral of the story bc the idea of having somebody just like him who understands him. Oh my gyoooooooooooooooood. I want them to melt into sludge I'm always thinking of that analogy from superflyghtheart on discord comparing Loop and Siffrin to endlings of an endangered species. 💥💥💥It's like. This is less sloopy now but I'm caught between the intersection in my head of "Loop would probably benefit from developing their own identity as a person separate from Siffrin bc they need Something they have control over" and "Loop is of the Siffrin Species and they are significantly too sentimental to let go of the shreds of what they used to have, especially after having lost all of it once already". Both of these things are yummy as fuck when ppl smarter than me explore them and they're kinda the main Story Paths for postcanon Loop anyways so I'm always winning. So like idk tldr I like it both when ppl have Loop diverge a lot as a person and when they have Loop try their best to stay as much of a Siffrin as possible!

I'm limiting myself to four paragraphs so you don't all want to hit me with hammers but I do have Loop Biology Headcanons. I've explained mythoughts on their guts before and don't feel like recounting them but whatever True #codacheetahwarriors remember my deranged rambling. ANYWAYS I kind of mentally run on the assumption of Loop's body as like. The Universe couldn't keep Loop in Siffrin's body, bc they needed Siffrin to be in it (and I guess a system situation introduces too many factors of its own? idk). The Universe operates with the goal of fulfilling wishes with the least intervention possible, so The Universe makes a body out of cheap inorganic material (star-scrap basically). Miniature star for a head fueling the body with Craft energy (I'm not going to get into my conspiracy that all Craft is the same here). Molds the star scrap into a vaguely Siffrin-shaped/sized vessel and plonks Loop's conscious into it and calls it a day. So Loop's body as a poor simulacrum of a human body is like. They're capable of breathing but they only really benefit from doing it on a psychological level. They can't eat or drink and don't have a mouth because it would require a significant level of added effort to make a digestive system, when they can just derive energy from their star. They don't have reproductive organs because they're not made from organic material anymore anyways. They don't need to sleep bc their body never gets tired but they still do it because it's not really a great idea to leave your brain on running for too long anyways.

I fucking lied I'm on paragraph five bc the block of text is annoying me. To continue that's all a preface to say I think it's super fun when Loop has body functions that are weird and unpredictable. Their little frizzles on their body are reactive to their emotions the same way their headstar is, and feel like static if you touch them. Their head has a vague boundary so their eyes have something to be rooted to but the function by which their optic nerves work is unclear to everybody including themself. They glow based on intensity of emotion and the temperature of their star changes via specific mood. Bc I think it would be fun if the battlefield in twohats when from ice cold to boiling hot frankly. Ok these are all just my headcanons (temperature one very loose though I'm not a hard subscriber to it) but they're not uniquely mine it's just examples of what I mean. One I don't have as a personal headcanon but I do enjoy is when Loop feels the same physical sensations as Siffrin bc it's funny and I like inflicting misery on the star.

I'm going to shut up now like actually . Loop for your troubles

[hacksawboy]

day like 5 i think of daily doodles, non tired edition, im not rlly tired rn tbh

so idk if yall heard but they updated desk engie which i was stoked about up until like an hour ago when i found out they removed his pride flags. i am so unironically upset about this dude holy shit i know you literally cant see them in game AT ALL but their inclusion is a big reason i bought the item, like they made me so god damn happy and now theyre just . gone. i wore the desk jockey style like a discreet trans pride pin im not even kidding 😭

i dont know why they removed the flags but the only good reason i can think of (and by good i mean the only reason thatd actually count as a win for the bisexuals and transgenders) is that they added it just to make bigots mad and removed it when they succeeded. im not gonna get into the other reasons because keeping this post as lighthearted as possible

anyways yeah rip pride pins. moment of silence for these thangs

(also since this post is a bit of a downer, have a funie pupro i doodled a few days back)

[azuredrg]

can you do #11 for any of da gunslingers or for the story itself 💭

YESSSS HAPPILY TY PIPPPP

11) What was your inspiration for your OC?

I want to go down le listtt.... at least as i remember it

GUNSLINGERS itself.... I took inspiration from silent hill 2 and clock tower 3. (i wish i could implement more ct3 because it is such a funny game but again,,, story evolved too much that it felt side villains was simply Not Possible.) and also old testament (the main characters are literally named adam and eve) AND ALSO TRANSGENDERISM AND MY TRANSGENDER EXPERIENCE!!! i think as i transitioned more socially is what really made gunslingers evolve into what it is today as i kept implementing more of my experiences.... ok i'll put chara inspos under da cut so it doesnt clog the dash. but TL;DR: adam did his own thang and everyone else i built off of him

I made Adam years ago (gunslingers is 3! i went to check and just learned... wow) but i vividly remember his inspiration being bayonetta. at least visually.

maybe the resemblance is still there...... ?

he also was partially inspired by a black butler character (shamefully...), but i cut that part out of his story as it began to make less sense as the story evolved. i think a bit of his personality still clings on thouuu...

i genuinely cannot remember what inspired Cain, i remember toiling for a long time over his design, but i can't remember what i looked at to finalize it? (he was made shortly after adam was, but he came to me a lot harder... and somehow i forgot all of it) I definitely took inspiration from Beowulf, because it's on his shirt. I mostly wanted Cain to be a complimentary character to Adam, so they have similar palettes with like... Adams bigger emphasis on white while he (and really, every other character) has a lot more black than him.

so basically cain and eve look the way they do because adam looks the way he does. so i cite adam as eve and cains inspirations (at least design wise...)

Eve is inversely Adams complete opposite in every single way. i struggled a lot with her since forever because eve was a lot of different things while i was developing gunslingers. but i finally settled on her having a role like maria sh2 but i guess a lot more on the nose than what the game tries to portray... she also got a lot of her personality borrowed from ashley re4 (<- ashley also influenced a lot of her previous design before i landed on this!!!) i wanted her to be very much "ps2 horror girl protag"

and finally dracula... i think he was the easiest right behind adam... he is dracula.

just straight up regular vampire dracula. he was going to look exactly like bela lugosi. in my mind they have the same face.... but couldn't deny making him look a little like adam, so i gave him longer hair to kindof mirror that aspect.... i think this was also because of dracula castlevania looking cool, but i never played it and this is very loosely his inspiration...

[queen-mihai]

Something hit me recently as deeply disturbing in the (I'm gonna be talking primarily about straight men here) cishet world:

Disgust at the penis

Growing up, I heard the same sort of thing that I'm sure will sound familiar to many of you:

"You thinking about putting somebody's thang in your mouth!?!?"

"If you can even stomach the idea of sticking one of THOSE in your mouth, you better never complain about my cooking again"

As if penises are just objectively Disgusting

Imagine for a minute if this was any other part of your body. Imagine if it was your finger. Imagine recoiling in existential HORROR at the thought of someone's *shoulder* accidentally touching your tongue

It's a part of you. If that part of you is disgusting, then the rest of the body it's attached to must be equally horrifying.

Imagine thinking that about yourself. There's something deeply damaging about it, that makes me feel.... worried

A lot of straight culture is based on suffering.

"I'M STRAIGHT" .... like... why does that need to be wielded like some sort of weapon? Well, I know why. For the same reasons LGBTQ culture is so liberating.

So much of cishet culture is bullying.

If you pee sitting down you're a woman

If you shake more than twice, you're gay

If you clean your backside too rigorously, you might just be enjoying it, which makes you gay

If you think a child is cute, you're a woman

If you take care of your skin, you're a woman

If you're into musical theater, you're a probably gay transgender furry woman who is a gay woman and is also gay

And let's not forget

If you ever put a penis in your mouth, you're definitely gay. Even if it's just once and you realized that the taste of cum just isn't your cup of tea. Too late. You're gay forever.

It also puts women down. A dick is juuuust TOO disgusting for a man. Perfect for a woman though. The gall it takes to think like this. It speaks volumes to how they really see women and anyone willing to touch a man in that way. But it's also damaging for *themselves*

They've got to go through their entire lives literally afraid of a part of their own anatomy! Imagine being afraid of your own body? That's a nightmare! And it lasts their entire lifetime!

No wonder they have to scream about being "straight" and "normal". They're living in such fear that they can't even touch their own bodies without having to think maybe it makes them gay or secretly a woman, regardless of how they actually feel inside.

That's... awful.

[fagbearentertainment]

Another bracket, 64 more characters, who will be the swaggiest transgender this time around?

Transgender Swag Competition Bracket 2 is here!!! Nominate a character (after reading the rules) here!!

Rules:

No real people

They don’t have to be canonically trans

Nonbinary, genderfluid, genderqueer, etc. characters are allowed

Characters who made it past round 1 on the last bracket are forbidden, so Team Rocket Sonic the Hedgehog and Damien for example won’t make the cut

No voter fraud, don’t nominate a character several times

Also important thang: one character from the original bracket has a confirmed spot, I misspelled his name and the poll didn’t reach his fans properly so I’m giving him a second chance

[armed-saphire]

if you had been writing the women in metal gear what would you change with them (a lot i know) because i feel like just the idea of women being written well in metal gear will benefit us all

I'm answering but just so we all know my qualifications here are just that I'm a woman I am not a writer or game designer or whatever also as it goes on I get more pissed off so it gets a little messy structure wise hope that's ok anyways here's what I wrote:

Um ok, so it would take sooo long to write a full structured analysis so I'll give little things for each character. Uhh mgs1 make Meryl less of just a flat love interest stand-in because the rest of her backstory in that game feels like it’s shoehorned in to make it seem like she has actual character when she's just meant as the glorified damsel in distress (not to say she can't need help but a lot of it felt like a bunch of "leave me Snake, I can't help you I'm just a GIRL!!"). Also, this is just my personal HC but it would add so much to her if she was transgender but it's not like NEEDED- anyway also Naomi was meant to be brown idk what happened but I would return her melanin to her I think. Mei Ling is mostly fine character-wise but I would remove all of Snake's weird advances and comments about her. I would actually remove that from all of his interactions with women in that game I think. OH and Sniper Wolf should put the thangs away I'm thinking like a fur coat and also I want her whole character to be more than just a sexy lady with a tragic past. her speaking in a seductive voice 80% of the time and just being honestly creepy was stupid. I think she could just be a person maybe. that would be cool I think. She could've been just tough and standoffish and then revealed her true feelings as she was dying instead of all the weird seductive stuff

Ok now Mgs2, Fortune is pretty much fine but I wish she didn’t have her booty cheeks out on the seemingly cold big shell bc Raiden was shivering and sneezing like a little wet dog when he lost his suit so I'd assume she’s cold too. if she was wearing some cool pants or something that would be neat but other than that I think she's pretty well written. next Emma ummm her personality itself isn't the issue to me but I didn’t like how Raiden was kind of creepy towards her (not really but like. “You should wear contacts” I'll punch him maybe). Also, she should've had a cooler outfit but that's it. Honestly, I’d have to rewatch or replay Mgs2 to get a good grasp of her character but I see no crazy issues. Rosemary omg I think she’s fine but I hated how it kind of felt like it was Raiden and Campbell vs Rose and she always loses even in non-canon codecs it was so annoying. Other than that once again I will have to listen to the codecs again because I haven't heard all of them in a while. Actually, I just remembered I didn't like how she was kind of written to be oddly insecure?? Ig?? I mean she spent a lot of time in codecs talking about personal stuff and not the mission which I guess was intentional but I found it odd. Olga’s fine no notes. Don’t think there's anyone else. (skipping mgs3 bc it only has 3 women and I think they’re all written ok I don't have many issues.) Ok, mgs4 for the B&B unit I will refer you to this post because I’ve already talked about it. other than that Meryl was actually really good until the final part on outer haven that was so bad “I can't protect anyone” or whatever she said girl fuck off the only reason she said that was so that big strong man Johnny Sasaki could come to save her omg fuck you also Johnny Sasaki should die that's crucial to this anyway, Mei Ling was fine but I’d remove the codec call where Otacon and Snake say that Mei Ling probably just slept with older men to get to her job position I just think I wouldn't have that in the game probably. Naomi ok so I haven't finished mgs1 so I can't tell you exactly if what she does in Mgs4 is fucked up compared to how she is in mgs1 I mean personality wise but also I was eating a really gross ass sandwich when I watched one of her long cutscenes and it skewed my perception of her a bit oh also I would personally like to button her shirt up for her. uh idk Rose once again was fine but also I’m killing everyone for the mistranslation from the JP version of mgs4 that in English made her seem like some evil liar idk anyway you look that up if you really wanna know it’s on Twitter. uh who else does Sunny count doesn't matter she's fine no issues. 

GZ you already know what I'm going to say also TPP so I'm skipping it also I'm not wasting my time getting triggered for no reason so like read my mind or something

Because I skipped 3 games I’ll do MGR Courtney her character itself was fine I didn't like the codecs where 1 Raiden jokes that she should get lipo and 2 the call that's just Raiden and Kevin talking about how much they don't wanna date her also her design is so like beauty standards boring as shit at least make her look cool or something idk. and Mistral I’m so tired of femme fatale characters in Metal Gear it’s not cute it’s not like empowering the way it’s done her entire character is sexualized and it is JUST because she's a woman. I said this about Wolf too it’s hard to feel bad for a character’s sad war backstory when it is also very clear they’re just meant to be a sexual object with no substance it’s not cute either it's just stupid. Also, there’s other stupid sexist codecs about her too obviously lastly uh Sunny’s also in it she's fine whatever

also i just noticed i skipped peace walker but like whatever its fine lol

[soliddaddy96]

3, 4, 6, 8 for reigen :3

oh heavens the freaker ... the jerkr

3. How did your oc discover themself? Did something cause them to question, or did they always know?

i rememebr i wrote this down somewhere but 2 me he realized he was queer of some sort when he went to one of his sisters friends quinceanera and made out w the birthday girls older cousin behind the venue ... this was when he was like , a highschooler in arizona still . after this he was liek Hmm i think somethings up . he didnt act on these feelings until he was hitchhiking to jess' apartment like years later tho ..... not much else 2 think abt besides how you might be gay for your friendon the open road and such .

with his gender i think he always kindve knew , early on his dad kindve picked up on it and went "heyy y. i dont mind if you ... experiment . with your gender . yoru still my kid all the same 😁" to rei who, at the time, went "? Ok (doesnt think about this encounter until years later)". its also a main reason (2 me ) as to why connor bullied him a bit - in my brain milwaukee is a pretty ... closed minded town , so its only natural people would spread their bigotry onto their children < which is why when connor saw how rei was like "im a MAN" but (in connors mind) didnt make any "real" effort into presenting masc , he 1 thought rei was just doing it for attention and 2 sought out to "fix" him ....... < cornering him and cutting his hair along w just. General torment

4. Is your oc's environment supportive about their identity? How does this impact them?

until he was around middleschool he only really had the support of his dad < his mother being a devout catholic whereas his dad was laid back and also queer himself . after he died and they moved back to arizona rei just kindve caved in on himself and gave up on any presentation gender or sexuality wise ... until one day he felt too suffocated by it all nd went back to the one place he ever really Did feel accepted < milwaukeeeeee 😁and by extension jess nd ashe . the latter i dont know if they met later but i think their presence helps rei greatly ... nervous cheetah and emotional support dog type thang . when hes back w the gang he feels pretty comfortable w them and while he still has his moments of doubt from time to time he still feels confident that theyll never judge him (which they wouldnt thankfully). ave maria

6. How does your oc feel about labels? Theirs, or in general?

he would rather be gutted like a fish than talk about labels ... i dont think he feels all that comfortable w himself to say hes for sure gay ... and as for being trans , he keeps that shit LOCKED UP !!! very stealth with it ... even if being called a woman bothers him hed rather just take it and smile than out himself and risk being harassed . as he gets older he just stops gaf. i think hed just call ashe up randomly one day nd go "Hey .im gay." and then just hang up . theyd understand

8. Have they had struggles with their identity, be it due to internal or external reasons?

hes the prime struggler and transgender allegory ... if hes not actively repressing his feelings for guys then hes trying as hard as he can to come off as a cis guy . i think it stems from the hostile environment milwaukee generally is as well as internal stuff < after his dads passing his mom blamed his homosexuality for it and deemed him a sinner ... her side of the family also just talked shit abt him a lot 😭this diswayed rei Greatly from ever being open . even in his 20s i think despite him being more cool w being gay nd stuff hed still be a little nervous ... i dont think his anxiousness abt it would ever go away for realsies , but with time he wouldnt think abt it too much 👍

AVE MARIA can youtell i want him dead

[mostautisticsinner]

sits down

i am interested in the ishmael and possibly don quixote trans hcs :o

v v interested

I WAS LICHER ALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF WRITING A FIC ABOUT TWO COMPLETELY DIFF CHARACTERS BUT I SAW THIS AND GOT SO HYPE I OPENED MY LAPTOP JUST TO TALK ABT THEM.......

First things first. Ishmael intersex. I haven't pondered what condition she has yet, if I should go Full On Projection and give her what I have or make it something completely different, but either way she's always felt like Not A Girl and Not A Boy (physically) even if her birth records say one thing. It's estranging for sure! But at the same time she loves her body and is glad she's intersex

Ok onto other thangs ... I think she chose her name herself because she read Moby Dick when she was on the boat Sooo much she had SO many Weird Nightmares but it was fun for her. Just like me FR etc. Named herself after a fictional character , As you do

She identifies as transfemmasc... Would think its funny to say shes both a cis man and a cis woman but she needs to have twice the transgender swag. Shes bigender but presents femme and also mostly just says she's transmasculine if anyone shes comfortable with enough to have a Confusing Identity But Not Too Confusing with

Always always gets gender euphoria from wearing boxers. Also just more comfortable but she's simply always staring at herself when she wears them

Keeps getting impulses to cut all her hair off especially when someone compliments how long it is but she refrains. Somehow

Don Quixote also chose her name , she's a trans woman and did not enjoy her given name for years and most names just felt like they didn't fit until she settled on naming herself after, Don Quixote. Felt like it would be disrespectful to name herself after a Fixer too

Her chest is mostly flat but thinks its awesome actually. Every clothes fit her and even though bra shopping is hell on earth at times whenever she does get a good fitting one thats also euphoria babey ......

Always was like Intensely Oblivious about the concpt of being trans but Idk how to describe it. Like not that she didnt know but that she was Always just like "Oh Im a girl :)" to everyone even if they were trying to persuade her that she wasnt. Its the future old man people can change genders.....

it's been very cool being sort of openly GNC in jewish spaces and seeing positive change come from it. like none of it has been on purpose ive kind of just been obviously genderous since i hit puberty, even before consciously choosing to present as such. i don't go my days about expecting to be an Issue but it's worth it if things turn out well.

first time it happened i honestly didn't know it would be such a big deal but i asked for the traditional male gift (a kiddush cup) instead of the female one (candlestick holders) for my bar mitzvah and now they ask every new bnei mitzvah which one they want ahead of time. and also scrupulously call them bnei mitzvahs instead of bar/bat mitzvahs. which is actually kind of annoying bc it sort of takes the intent out of my use of masculine hebrew language and presentation when everybody does it regardless of gender, but it's overall positive so whatever. the unfortunate side effect of this is everybody things i did that as some sort of Statement and if they're annoyed by gender neutral language they assume it is due to my nefarious transgender demands and not just something that other people started doing because of my presence without me knowing or caring. i expect people will be slightly confused when i come out as a trans man because they probably assume i am some form of nonbinary as well.

second was really surprising. i went to an orthodox synagogue as a kid back in palm beach because they're way more kid friendly. on account of all the children. and after we moved my mom kept in touch and i still talked to the rabbi's daughters on occasion. anyway apparently the rebbitzen, who my mom is friends with, reposted some dumb article about a trans teacher who was fired (iirc for no reason other than being trans) and made some comment about how we shouldn't be allowed to work around children. my mom called her and told her about me and pointed out that i worked with small children for my entire teen years and they were not in fact molested or traumatized by me looking trans. and the rebbitzen genuinely listened and changed her mind and said she thinks it's okay for trans people to be teachers now. which was unexpected and really nice, both that my mom bothered and that somebody who seemed pretty deep into the conservative radicalization hole had some positive growth.

so idk, as annoying as it can be in the moment when i just want to do my thang and go under the radar, it's nice that me just being myself can make people that already liked me decide to be nicer about other trans people. harnessing the nice jewish boy status for good.

I just want to be so clear for everyone playing along at home: nowhere in the post this is a response to did I claim that it is currently possible to transplant a viable uterus into a transgender woman. I did not make any claims about science or medicine. I expressed the belief that many people born with a uterus, myself included, would happily pop that thang out and give it to a trans woman who wanted it, which based on the notes is pretty demonstrably true.

that is what this frothing at the mouth is in response to.

it's genuinely so, so impossible to overstate the degree to which transphobia operates on knee-jerk fear, hatred, and disgust, rather than any sound scientific or philosophic principles. it's just pure vitriol at the idea of anyone living a life they don't personally approve of.

gamers I've got a terf going nuclear in my notes re: that post where I said a lot of people with a uterus would happily give it away to a trans person who wants it

fellas is it anti-science to imagine a scenario where you get to stop having a period and somebody else benefits
