wait wait so speaking in terms of the eng translation, everyone in the cast uses they/them for mizuki?? or do people typically switch between the two??? the pronoun discourse when it came to mizuki (when it was really big a while back) stressed me tf out but i'd like to make sure i'm getting it right this time about what pronouns to use if that's ok
everyone uses they/them for mizuki on EN. There's old dialogue that uses she/her (I think all of it's from Kanade), but they stopped doing that very early on. The general consensus in the fandom nowadays is she/her though, due to it better aligning with how her story and gender is portrayed.

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for your readthrough of Whipping Girl! You have a lot of excellent commentary on it, and although I've read the book many times myself and recommend it to all the other trans women I'm friends with, it rooted itself so deeply in my mind that I can't always tell when I'm drawing on Serano's argument. You've helped me to see the book in a new light.
thank you right back! It’s an incredible book and I’m learning a lot from it. It’s also a really good book to have productive disagreements with - I’m pretty skeptical of Serano’s conception of social constructions (or “the social” more broadly - basically, the social elements of gender) but that has more to do with the liberal framework of the book and her background as a biologist - every academic believes their field is the key to unlocking all other fields lol. I’m also sensitive to the fact that this is like a foundational text in trans theory and she has to deal with the biological essentialism embedded within virtually all discussions of gender, so i think reading her concessions to biology as charitably as possible is probably the best way to deal with those elements of the book

I love getting myself into situations. My college’s theater is doing a duet roulette thing where you sign up and get assigned a random duet and find out who is singing the duet with you the night of the performance. And I signed up bc I like chaos and also attention and there was a bit where you could indicate your voice range and I said like oh I used to be an alto but I haven’t really sang since going on T so I’m not really sure what it’s like now.
Folks, they gave me a soprano part.

thinking abt (1) that post abt how most censorship is preemptive self-censorship¹ (2) bras²
⸻ ¹ wow, tumblr search actually worked for once??? ² i do understand and respect that for many people bras serve an actual structural function wrt support/comfort! however, for many other people (hi!) they do not, at least in everyday non-sports contexts, and that's the set of concerns i'm speaking to here.
#i mean for me personally it's also like. sometimes/often/always i don't want to have visible tits‚ for Gender Reasons#so rendering them more compressed & visually ignorable is a move in the right direction#but that's sort of seasonal (which sounds insane‚ but‚ idk‚ in the summer the visible body hair helps balance out the visible tits???)#so it's like. objectively very obvious that i ought to go braless more in the summer#when it would bother me less visually and dramatically increase my comfort levels#and i do‚ in the house! but like. when i go out i still feel the need to render myself Presentable and i'm mad about it#bc like. yeah it's partially a trans desire to hide my chest but like. is that actually separable from the way women are socialized#to manage their breasts to HOA-approved standard or else open themselves up to a whole gamut of inappropriate treatment. (no.)#and so it's really just like. reimposing many different shades of cisheteropatriarchy on myself simultaneously#but unfortunately the only way out is to just. accept all the bad reactions i'm living in fear of. but those DO feel bad!#as always it's like. hard when yr self-protective conditioning isn't serving you wrt being a free person#but IS a rational reaction to the hobbled reality of yr actual existence…#like. easy to say 'just ignore those worries.' and maybe i will‚ at least in the context of like. casual public appearances#but like. even if the material consequences are unlikely‚ for me‚ to be more than unpleasantly judgmental stares—#that's still a real emotional consequence that has an impact on my well-being! but so does the self-censorship.#anyway. too many tags & no novel insight. just like. sux lol#(also usually on here i omit any discussion of Tit Management Issues bc it's my space where i get to pretend not to have a body)#(but like. that's self-censorship of a kind too.)#embodiment (is violence)

'people should make weirder gender headcanons,' i say, looking at my main group of OCs, of which none of them use they/them except innocence (who is genderfluid)
#you have:#des (he/she bigender man/woman; no preference)#night (it/its; nonbinary butch lesbian [in a gender way])#silver (he/him agender with no gendered terms)#prayer (it/xe; some sort of genderweird)#grace (he/him in a vaguely transmasc way that isn't actually transmasc like he's not. binary. but he's also Not not binary??)#and moth (sae/sem/sair/sies/saeself; some flavor of transfem but in a very nonbinary way)#and innocence doesn't even Primarily use they/them. they cycle through Everything#i just use they/them for them because my brain shits itself if i try to rapid cycle through every pronoun possible#if you have two pronouns i'll alternate when i remember to. three i'll struggle but i'll try#4+ and i will probably give up and stick with one on any given day#i just cannot keep that much in my head and i cannot keep up with innocence's gender fuckery#this is why IWSY is second person! /hj#anyway i'm not biased at all why would you say that /s#IWSY#also yes i included innocence as an OC. let's be real past a certain point if you headcanon for them enough#they become an OC. mx 'has no canon dialogue and is mentioned exactly twice in vanilla and only once more in downpour' innocence#IWSY being second person is only partially a joke because that was a legitimate reason behind like. the design for the innocence of youth#i saw no canon pronouns for innocence and wind and was like. okay how do i write this in a way that completely avoids using pronouns#for innocence that ended up being writing their fic in second person#wind i did a funny thing of manipulating the narration to never use pronouns#i guess you could also say that in a way this influenced my all pronouns innocence and no pronouns wind#but that's not really it for innocence. genderfluidity just felt right for them

"Not actually out but also no one who sees me doesn't think that there's something going on" is a fun state to be in
#not out *except to my two friends. partially. but in general y'know#it's generally a very negative thing and something that frustrates me and makes me feel awful etc etc etc especially because i'm very#limited in what i can do/wear/etc as it is and this. suspension. is incredibly annoying#but every so often i try to look at the funny side. even though there's quite a lot of frustration in there too#(--_--)#mytext#like. fuck me for having so many issues with my mother but it is what it is. and idk i cannot even begin to imagine living your life#without ever questioning things like ''common sense'' or the reasoning behind ''how things are''#and without getting into the sexuality bit (she thinks that i'm a lesbian but still clings in terror to the hope that i'm not. that's it)#one of our most common convos is ''women shouldn't [x]'' ''who decided that women shouldn't >x]?'' ''*evades the question*''#and it drives me craaazy craaaaaazyyyyy. ''have you ever once in your life not assumed that you were an inherently inferior human?'' ''no''#and that's one half of it the other half of it is me being constantly forced into these pointless arguments when i'm just doing whatever#and want to be whoever. like idgaf that you can't possibly begin to imagine gender being anything but Pussy Girl Pink and Dick Boy Blue#but let me live my life at least#i think if i one day straight up told her that my not so strong connection to womanhood partially if not mainly has to do with me being#okay with lesbians being attracted to me than it has with whatever else she would explode#on that matter it's a shame that uoma isn't one of the fun slurs that got/are getting reclaimed but instead kinda disappeared and wasn't#that common to begin with overall because coincidentally i like it a lot ^_^ <3

voice heacanons. [head in my hands] voice headcanons!!!! theyre so powerful......
its rly cool that you can read a characters dialogue with a specific voice and politely disagree with other fans' voiceclaims only to one day wake up and realize u headcanoned them with your own voice on hrt or after voice training that whole time
or the feeling of reading a fic and feeling ur brain twist to see a new perspective as someone else describes their dialogue in a completely different tone of voice than you interpreted it to be. like the difference between a characters voice being harshly cold versus softly spoken with the words themselves carrying a cold, stern weight underneath. such nuance, interpretation, and personal characterization that is up to the audience is so unique to media w text based dialogue, like books n certain video games..... its very underrated i think

>Read a really good fic based on the Mario Movie wherein Kamek's got a bit of an issue with his reflection in a mirror (cw: internalized transphobia)
>Want to go comment on it because it was that good (and i'm working on a comment bingo card)
>Want to include a mention of that flavor text from one of the Mario Party games about how Kamek has a panic attack when he sees himself in a mirror
>Go look up the fact on the wiki so i can quote it in the comment
>Realize the flavor text is actually this:
Tumblr media
>Get really embarrassed and delete half the comment

i will never understand the insular fraternalism that so many (mostly white) ftm/trans men participate in... why are you so hellbent on having no transfeminine friends? you don't want to get to know any trans women as people? you don't want to listen to their life experiences? you don't want to play videogames with them? you don't want to talk about book recommendations with them? you don't want to talk about their pet dogs or cats or fish or birds or lizards with them? you don't want to share parts of your life with them? why the fuck not?

Oh! I have this due to a reduction! They're very noticeable because they stick way out- the surgeon made it clear that anything under the arms was NOT her department. It's actually pretty nice to see some positivity. But it's also nice to see in the comments that there's a fix.
more people should draw the dogears that often happen when you've have double mastectomy top surgery. they're important to me

gonna be very annoyed if ppl insist on tryna turn all 5 of my dude characters into women when the majority of other characters in my comic already identify as women
#seriously you have so much to choose from... leave my self insert alone thats for sure ill eat you#im laying it out rn in a table. MOST of the dude ocs i have are villains.#MOST of the dude characters are minor characters#YOU WILL HAVE SO MANY OPTIONS WHAT MORE MUST YOU TAKe#as far as the most story relevant ocs SO FAR that i have- 10 of them are dudes and 14 of them are grrls#and also not including the nb characters but im keeping them outta this#and even amongst those 10 plenty of those ocs aren't really relevant either @-@;;#wamen play a stupidly huge role in my comic so i dont wanna hear it from no one i want no excuses#go imprint on one of the many grrl ocs that i have n leave me alone >:|#or make ur own fuckin character instead n fuck off somewhere else#...ig its kinda unfair tho bc ive specifically been holding back on posting a lot of my characters specifically for the purpose of#surprising ppl w someone new but. yknow. still.#all im saying is i have so many different options for u to pick from that i dont wanna see anyone trying to make excuses to change#my self inserts gender bc it will specifically be invalidating obviously.#yer gonna hafta just trust me on this one dawg.#i always find women more fun to draw anyways. sure i gotta get my self insert in there and some other dudes bc i like them#or for plot reasons. but women are more fun to draw to me partially *because* theres such an under representation of them#i feel like theres a lot of untapped potential and i wanna tap into it. i wanna show you all the different wamen characters ive made#they're all so unique and cool and i wISH I COULD POST THEm but i dont want to spoil surprises :/#the most i can do rn is post what are essentially background characters u-u

On your blog you've talked about dealing with chronic as a result from the stress of masking your autism.
It's a bit of a different situation, but my little sister (who we've begun to suspect has adhd) has been experiencing chronic pain in her arms and legs. I may be totally off base, but I was wondering if a similar stess might potentially be a factor in her pain.
If you're willing, would you mind talking about how your pain affected before you found a way to manage it (I tried searching your tumblr, but not much came up, so sorry if I'm asking a question that's already been answered)?
Thanks either way, I love your books. Love is real!
sure buckaroo GOOD QUESTION. i have had chronic pain in some form or another for LONG TIME in a number of STRESS RELATED WAYS. in past it has been cracking teeth from clenching dang jaws while i sleep and things like that, but a few years ago it was FULL ON BODY PAIN AND TIGHTNESS like every muscle was clenching up. went to the doctor over and over all kinds of dang specialists and it was very difficult to figure out what was going on. eventually landed on a sort of nebulous trot of STRESS but i can get more specific.
there are several things about me that you would never know just from looking or even talking to me for long times. i am a bi buckaroo, i am a non-dysphoric trans buckaroo, i am an autistic buckaroo. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE THINGS IS EITHER HIDDEN AUTOMATICALLY OR I AM SUCH AN EXPERT AT HIDING THAT IT IS SECOND NATURE
autism presents its trot in many ways, so my words do not apply to all, but my version is EXTREME ORGANIZATION AND ENDLESS WORK ETHIC. in way of freud (which is a silly way but sometimes good for symbolism talk) i have what you would call an OVERDEVELOPED SUPER EGO which is a double edged sword. i can write 100s of books at an incredible pace, but also feel like my body is constantly collapsing in on itself
this is not really something i consciously think about much, but eventually these health problems started creeping up. it was all from carrying this mystery tension in my body, because while it feels EASY for me to mask i believe all that tension goes somewhere and it stores up and stores up and stores up.
so i think the HEALTHY way that i have found to deal with this (i think of it as releasing the steam valve a bit so the boiler does not break down) is ART. this space where i am allowed to be CHUCK TINGLE and write without obsessing over the spelling or punctuation, or to loudly express my queerness, or explore gender, and to let my neurotypical mask down DIRECTLY RELIEVES my chronic pain because it literally makes my muscles relax.
when i started out this ARTISTIC TROT as chuck i used a LOT of metaphor to keep my privacy, with different words or different versions of people for different things, and buckaroos found this very funny. as a way to express myself artistically i also liked this metaphor trot a lot, but i have also found that the LESS metaphor i paint over my life as chuck, the better it is for my health. if you have noticed, i talk less about some of the parts of my life that were metaphors, or maybe you have seen that my voice has relaxed a bit in interviews, or that i carry myself a little differently over time, this is partially why. (there is another artistic reason that was a planned trot from the beginning and it has to do with my feelings as a young autistic buckaroo of not fitting in on this timeline, but we can dive into that later).
anyway, as PRACTICAL ADVICE i would say that FINDING A SPACE TO EXPRESS YOURSELF WITHOUT FEAR OR MASKING has been the number one trot for me. that can be a pink bag over your head writing hundreds of erotic shorts, or that can be just laying on the ground howling your heart out, or doing whatever stim you need to do.
i will also say that ONCE I REALIZED IT WAS MUSCLE TENSION getting a physical therapist helped a lot. because there are two sides, you have to start releasing steam from the steam valve, but at the same time youve also gotta start HEALING THE DAMAGE. so i think stretching and techniques like that can be very helpful.
hope that helps buckaroo LOVE IS REAL
