#pre transition trans character

[thebestpartofwakingup]

Been obsessing over this fic idea about the role of mistresses, gender, magic, and menkhu in Gokrhon through Oyun's memories, isidor's perspective over the years, Gorkhon history, myth, and zoology anecdotes

anyway the very specific hell of being childhood best friends and developing feelings for the most important person your age when your the second most important person your age in your village so all the girls your age style and hang out with your crush as their posse and tease and flirt with you constantly and you are a teenager and you are shy and introverted and can't tell when you're being teased.

Light teasing.

Also, in response to the "testosterone making people angrier" myth, I've found that, personally, testosterone has given me the self-respect to recognize and call out when my boundaries are being overstepped in ways that I wouldn't have had the courage (or, frankly even liking of myself) to have done before. This is in addition to me working on my trauma responses, but testosterone was the spark that gave me the will to do this in the first place. When I see people sae that as anger and thus is a "bad thing," I wonder how much of that is just people being uncomfortable with us... having boundaries or enforcing them, and that the response to that overstepping is labeled as aggressive anger.

Frankly, I now actually respect myself enough to care when I am being mistreated. It seems that people sometimes take that as a personal failure on my end because I don't think I deserve mistreatment.

Caveat: Anger is a fine emotion, and it is a worthy thing to recognize and honour. I find that the accusation of trans men* and trans masc* people "being angry" on testosterone is a moot point simply because it is often a false accusation which uses anger as a punishment. My issue isn't that we're "angry," but that our perceived anger is used, often, as a transphobic bludgeon to punish those who either want to transition with testosterone or who currently are, and everything in-between.

Sydney

Have a younger Syd WIP while I work on more art!! Something to contribute to that younger self vs current self trend :) This would be her pre-transition

Sonic when he was a kid.

Didn't know which version I liked more so have both!

Inspired heavily by Nicky from the Shogakukan Sonic manga.

His shirt is also that way to continue the 'sun' marking on Sonic's belly that was mentioned in a Sonic 3 documentary. His shirt at the moment only shows the 'sun' partially. Since he's younger and he's not quite the Sonic we know yet.

trans artists drawing trans bodies has done more for my own self image esteem than anything else for me

I love the crocodad theory a lot but I fear that the fandom will start misgendering him or respect the character less because of transphobia.

Oda have written queer characters before who are respected by the fandom such as Bonclay but for Crocodile its another story. He is their alpha male badass character and adding queerness to his character might make them mad. Not that I care about those bigots feelings but its already not easy to navigate this fandom without queerphobia being thrown in your face.

Ppl can digest a queer character who fit in the stereotypes but once they dont, its another story.

Same, people are weird as fucking hell and gross about Crocodile maybe being trans already, we can be sure it would get worse if him being trans was confirmed in the story, there would be absolutely no avoiding it

But at the same time...

Transphobes are gonna be transphobes regardless, and I don't want that to become a reason for any storyteller to not create trans characters. I don't want Oda to bend over backwards to please the transphobes when they're the ones in the wrong. If anything, I want Oda to just go all the way with the message of queer liberation and freedom in One Piece. Like it's not perfect, but it's already there, but it's so subtle many queerphobes have been able to ignore it this whole time and I don't want Oda to let them ignore it anymore. I want him to rub it into their faces so hard they'll start complaining about "Oda going woke"

And like, let's be real. If Crocodile was trans and Oda pulled it off just right (without falling into certain pitfalls that he's be stumbling with this whole time with queer rep), that could unironically be like. Great not just trans rep but trans masc rep in particular

Like maybe it's just the media I've consumed but trans masc rep is typically very non-existant and/or very much like Yamato, who, while valid as hell, might not be how many trans masc people want to be seen as by others (as in, "confused girls")

We've known Crocodile as a character for 23 years at this point, and for the first 8-9 years of that he was very much seen as A Manly Cis Man (like you said) without a hint of a doubt (until Impel Down). If it turned out he had been trans this whole time, that would force people to rethink how they view trans people.

As just regular fucking people

That person you knew for years turned out to be trans? So what? What does that actually change about them? It's still the same person deep down. Those are the things Oda could force people to think about.

And honestly? If that helped convert even just a single transphobe, or educate someone without an opinion on trans people, to just letting trans people live their lives in peace, I think it'd be worth it

But like, yeah. The transphobes are gonna be loud regardless. It fucking sucks, and I hate the fandom for it. But, damned if you do, damned if you don't, there's no avoiding it. And I think the potential positive impact would outweight the already festering negativity.

Coprotag!Nezuko idea. If she were to be effected by Enmu´s BDA, her dream would be similar to Tanirou´s, but distorted. The faces and other aspects of the appearance of the members of her family are smudged and all food is made out of raw flesh and blood, for instance a soup with blood instead of water, because of her hunger as a demon.

Oh, my! That's quite the idea!

It would also make for quite the horror aspect, especially if Nezuko questions what the hell is going on while nobody else bats an eye.

Oh, god, now I'm remembering a scene in The Umbrella Academy(haven't watched the whole thing, just happened to be in the room while someone else watched, so I have extremely limited context.). That scene where Vanya/Victor(this was pre-transition both for Elliot Page and the character, so which name should I use?) was given an LSD, and had to eat brain, and the rest of the family did the same thing? *shivers* Same vibes.

[localvoidcat]

can i just say. i love how almost all of your she/her ocs are amab and have facial hair. like hell yeah!!!! appearance =/= gender!!! this is a compliment

thank you! its really important to me to draw more ocs that are visibly trans, being a trans man that doesn't pass as masc at all and won't for a while lol. drawing characters that aren't visibly transitioned, or characters that don't want to visibly transition, is a very big thing for me, so i'm glad that you like it :-]

[readymades2002]

and saying "representation" in those tags is a poor choice of words, i think if you wanted to have that moment of "oh this character is Like Me", however i feel about that as a goal, then there are probably ways to do that that don't involve prying into information a woman didn't give you, likely intentionally. through a puzzle, one of the most interactive things you can do with a game! this is information the player HAS to seek out. why design it that way?
