Why do I keep seeing transmascs and trans men insisting or implying that all trans men are "female socialized," or "understand the female experience," or "navigated the world as a woman." Because yeah, sure, that can be true for some people. especially if you weren't gnc at all as a kid and didn't crack your egg until well into adulthood, it makes sense.

But they don't stop at saying they had that experience. It always comes with an addendum that trans men, as a group, all can relate to this experience. I don't know about the entirety of my demographic, but I never got even a little bit of what some of them talk about. I didn't even believe that women were scared of going out at night until I kept consistently seeing them say it, online or wherever, for years. I never realized catcalling was a thing until I saw some women complaining about it on reddit.

But they posit it as some sort of, you're safer than cis men, right? You know what it's like? Which, on top of being patently, demonstrably false in the case of myself and many other trans men, holds some unpleasant and often outright hostile implications about trans women. And they always deny it, but if you can't even conceptualize someone like me who grew up gnc, and never got the bulk (or any?) of whatever we consider to be 'female socialization,' what does that say about what you think trans girls went through, growing up? I don't want to speak for them, as I've never experienced that firsthand, but I can guarantee that (if you're even a little bit obviously trans) people don't treat you like a cis kid of the opposite gender. By and large, they don't get treated like cis boys.

It just makes me mad that we're taking this inaccurate framework that (ever so conveniently) puts trans people into the box of our assumed birth gender, and trying to fancy it up and use it with a faux-progressive veneer; never mind the way that transphobes use it to bar trans women from being athletes, or using the bathroom, or having access to any gendered resources they need. It would be bad enough to try and dust it off and use it even if it were largely accurate, due to the aforementioned connections to outright transphobia, but it literally is patently false. Not in all cases, obviously, but why are we trying to revamp this untrue, inaccurate generalization and pretend that we can make it 'trans-inclusive?'

god of death ghost whose body is soft with fat, with rich organs and hot blood bc he gives himself to the dead as their final meal; glutting themselves on his body so they're full and content and feel safe as he leads them to the afterlife

he doesn’t hate them for their hunger; it was his idea to invite them to gorge themselves upon him, to conjure memories of smaller times, of warm hearths, soft blankets and whispered lullabies and drifting off to sleep with full bellies

he just turns away as they cross into the great light so they don’t see the flesh reforming over his gnawed bones

johnny the fallen soldier, the child left to the cold of war. johnny who refuses to feast. he was raised to always respect and never take from the dead. he’s shared too many final breaths, dribbled water between too many trembling lips to bear to take from death himself; not even blood offered freely to slake his own thirst

but ghost can't bring himself to lead the hungry to the afterlife, can't leave him to be an empty starved thing; certainly not this soul who burns so bright with lives comforted before their gentle end. before they met him

so they stay together, guiding souls to the beyond; johnny the friend welcoming them to their final meal

ghost keeps trying to convince johnny to partake when he nourishes the hungry and wayward souls but he never does; instead he watches over him as he's feasted upon and cleans the leftover blood from his renewed skin as penance for rejecting a god

he never lets a single drop touch his lips, not when it means abandoning the ever-sacrificial ghost who will never admit to the loneliness of being taken but never kept

but the human soul isn't meant to linger in this in between purgatory; isn't meant to stay in the gaps between thought that the gods belong in and soap grows weak, struggling to cling to this half-life as his soul fades, a solitary dying light in the abyss. nothing stops him from passing into the beyond, from fleeing this dark place stealing his strength

nothing but an unspoken promise

so the god cradles him in his arms; gives him the same comfort he's watched him give to the other fallen. ghost watches the only being who's ever wanted him but refused to take from him slowly slip away

and he can't let him go

he brings johnny to his breast and uses his nail to carve into his flesh; thick, rich blood welling up behind it. he forces himself to ignore johnny's weak begging; his voice hoarse and faltering as he tries to struggle out of his arms but he is no match for ghost

and he can do nothing but look at him with betrayal stinging his eyes as ghost gently caresses his bloodied thumb over his inner lip, a touch he's longed for, and feels the cruel spark of warmth as his tongue touches life

johnny has been fed

ghost can bring him to the afterlife

and he’ll be alive to hate him for it

have you played mouthwashing?

sure have! I was super impressed by it. video games are such a special medium for making art and telling stories- nothing else can immerse you in a first-person narrative in as effective a way, imo.

[xxplastic-cubexx]

bro the feminine wiles aren’t even a joke like. im with that anon who thought hellfire gala charles was a woman when they first saw him bc same, that design is insaaaane (/pos). how could u not think that when u see it lmfao. idk whose choice it was to give him a corset but the hourglass figure + female coded jawline combo do not lie. i saw it on pinterest and i was like ohhh don’t lie to me i know an anime girl when i see one- WAIT PROFESSOR X????

and that’s not even to mention movieverse charles ofc. we’ve all seen james mcavoy and his big sparkly kawaii anime eyes, i shouldn’t have to say it. charles xavier is never beating the allegations, i fear
