I know that this discussion has been made countless times at this point, but I might as well make it again.
Anyone who calls Yamato a woman doesn’t understand his character, there, I said it.
I recently stumbled across that side of the one piece fandom. As in, the side that gets violent over Yamato’s gender identity. I recently had the unfortunate privilege of stumbling across an entire YouTube comment section ranting and unanimously agreeing that Yamato is a woman and cussing out all the people who “head-cannon” him as a man.
Whelp. It’s rant time again.
For starters, I accept Yamato as a man. A trans man that doesn’t necessarily pass, but has a respected gender identity by all he associates with (as far as I’ve watched).
I have multiple trans friends and family members in my life, and as an LGBT individual myself any and all representation is a breath of fresh air. Especially in shonen anime, which is the sole form of media that I consume at this point.
I’ve already made my rant about the queer rep in Impel Down, and it’s about time I spun my spiel about the upsetting discourse over Yamato and his gender identity. Because that’s exactly what it is, upsetting.
When Yamato was first introduced he wore a mask and baggy clothing, he didn’t speak and was mysteriously called nothing other than “Kaido’s son.” He was hyped up for episodes on end before he finally joined the plot, and finally spoke. In the distinct voice of a woman.
Clearly, any and all gender norms have been obliterated at this point.
When Yamato finally took his mask off and declared himself Kozuki Oden, Luffy reacted how all of us did:

It’s exactly what all of us were thinking, right? How can that be Kaido’s son?
Then of course Yamato responds with this:

And we have our answer. Yamato is a trans man, and the entire Beast Pirates crew respects that. It’s incredible, isn’t it? I was blown away, you should have heard me squealing, it was ridiculous.
Luffy was a dick about it initially, but from the moment Yamato declared himself a man Luffy referred to him by his preferred pronouns for the rest of the arc.
“You can trust him.” “He’s going to help you.”
(Paraphrased. Didn’t dig up a screen shot cause I’m lazy. Took place when Luffy left Yamato with Momo and Shinobu on his way to the roof.)
Conversation over, right?! Wrong!!
Cause some people don’t like that. They see huge tits and refuse to accept this character as anything but a woman.
It doesn’t matter that Yamato is referred to using he/him pronouns by literally everyone, it doesn’t matter that Kaido consistently calls him his son, and it certainly doesn’t matter that Yamato personally declares himself a man.
They say that Yamato is biologically female; “it says it on the vivre card!” “A manga panel calls her Kaido’s daughter!” All things I found in that comment section, repeated again and again. Of course there’s the color spread covered in big boobs and bikinis, and that’s obviously proof that Yamato is a woman like all the rest. Because all of the color spreads happened in the cannon story and must be taken as hard fact.

I mean clearly.

Canon, 100%.

No question.
“Cause Oda literally said it himself…” right? Yeah. Sure. I’ll believe it when I see an SBS or a quote from the man himself.
I understand where they’re coming from, I really do. Yeah, Yamato looks like a woman. Yeah, boobs exist. Yeah, both voice actors are female.
But all of this evidence is strictly surface level, and these people ignore the personality of the character they claim to defend on top of the way they interact with other characters in the series.
They say that Yamato only looks up to Oden, that he’s not really a trans man, he’s just “larping.” Playing pretend.
They claim to be defending Yamato’s identity. They claim that those who call him a man are trying to “steal” the character and “gender her.” Yet… doesn’t their entire argument revolve around gendering that exact character?
By that logic, who gendered the character in the first place? I dunno, maybe the guy who’s wrote the dialogue? I mean maybe???
At the end of the day I can get ticked off all I want, but people will think what that think and all I can do is try not to let it affect me. However…I know transphobia when I see it. I see transphobic discourse within my own family. I know what that shit looks like. Refusal to respect pronouns. “Well you don’t look male.” “You were born female.” “It’s all just a phase, they’re confused.”
Sound familiar?
People can believe what that like, but it doesn’t mean that what they believe is right. It’s upsetting to see this argument so often. It’s all over the fandom, there’s no way to avoid it.
People claim to be defending the gender of this character, they act as if Yamato is being attacked by the evil gays who will stop at nothing to turn everyone trans. I’m not joking, that’s literally how they worded in that battlefield of a comment section.
Yamato’s gender expression is confusing, we know. That’s the point! Oda said fuck gender conformity all the way back in Alabasta, and he isn’t stopping now. What we see in Yamato is trans representation, but not a clean rep like Kiku, we have a man who doesn’t pass. Guess what? Not all trans people pass! That doesn’t make them any less trans, and your black and white perception of their gender doesn’t debunk their identity.
I genuinely don’t understand why there has to be so much discourse over this topic. Like you’re literally arguing with Luffy himself at this point. 😔🙄
#and like why do they care so much if people take Yamato as trans rep?#they get so offended about it#but why the fuck do you care so much?#you have hundreds of cis/het characters in this series already#let us have this like god#you’re not the cannon police calm tf down#so many people have said it and I’ve gotta say it again#one piece is a leftist anime and if you haven’t noticed it by now then you’re fucking stupid#one piece#ranting#rant into the void#back at it again#one piece analysis#one piece wano#yamato#yamato one piece#monkey d. luffy#trans REP yall

theres nothing inherently wrong about unrealistic marjorine but im just tired of seeing it. are we really acting like the parents who sent their child to conversion camp bc they assumed he was gay would be ok with that same child being trans... lets be honest with ourselves.
#south park#butters stotch#marjorine stotch#artists on tumblr#my art#sketches#if you wanna have unrealistic hyperfem full transitioned by age 16 marjorine go ahead i guess...#im sure if youre actually transfem that would be like therapeutic#to you or something#but personally IM SO TIRED OF SEEING IT!!! if butters was actually trans she would be be able to transition#maybe try out some closeted trans rep while youre at it i know 99% of yall teenagers are closeted

Some of y'all need to learn the difference between someone expressing a personal opinion and someone explicitly stating that something is a universal one.
#this is like the millionth post of this but i think yall need to hear it once more#i remember a post after barbie came out that was a black person saying how they didnt fully think barbie was for them (but was still okay)#and someone didnt like that and said they were wrong because 'there was black and trans barbies' and 'this is the problem eith feminism!'#and the posts that seem to want to call out folks for having different opinions on what representation is good for them specifically#(im gonna be honest. half of those 'yall dont want queer rep from queer people' posts#are likely people mad that someone prefers a different thing than they do#im sure it happens but how many folks do yall know are out here telling everyone 'dont watch this lesbian movie made by a lesbian!'#'instead watch the movie made by someone who finds lesbians yucky. thats better rep! :)'#like. come on.)

would love love LOVE to see some invincible x ftm!reader stuff, our ppl are in a drought </3
Mark Grayson x ftm reader
Headcanons
You didn't specify which Mark, if it was OG Mark, an alternate Mark, or the petvincibles. And, I wanted to write something more stand together, so here ya go.
We have been so focused on alt marks on this blog, I felt OG mark needed some love.
Honestly? I don't think Mark cares too much about you being trans. Unless you guys started dating before you came out, and you had to come out to him.
Then, he wouldn't fully understand the experience, but Mark has always felt like a very understanding and standup guy.
Though, he will have a moment where he's wondering if you guys need to break up now, cuz he's always just assumed he was straight. And breaking up would be most respectful for you, right?
But Mark still loves you, and after a long conversation with William, as he's his like, information point when it comes to LGBT stuff, Mark realizes maybe your gender doesn't really matter if he loves you.
He wouldn't be comfortable labeling himself just yet, but Mark knows he loves you, and that's all that matters. Now he just has to put up with William laughing and saying that he knew it.
Hes also a very busy guy, with all the hero stuff and if this is during the time hes still in college. But Mark would still find time to try and research it.
Expect him to go on reddit or other forums to be like “hey yall, my boyfriend(your age, ftm) just came out to me, and I(19M) wanna be supportive, what can I do to help?” cuz he just wants to do it right.
No matter how you express yourself, Mark wouldn't be embarrassed about it either. Be if you are fem presenting, masc presenting, neither, or both. As long as you are happy, then Mark would look at you with those most loving puppy eyes.
Mark also isnt scared to square up with anybody who disrespects you, or other members of the community. Hes always been a big supporter of William, and now he has you, and has just become a lot more aware of the community and how they are treated.
No cops at pride, only invincible (and the rest of teen team/the guardians if they are at that point).
Mark is also a big sucker for his partner wearing his clothes I think, no matter what way you present yourself. He would also try his best to help out, if you want help in being more masculine.
I also don't see Mark as the type of person to struggle with saying he has a boyfriend. The first couple of times might feel weird in his mouth, but that's what you are, and that's how he will describe you.
Mark openly having a boyfriend will somehow end up with him and Rex becoming friends quicker, because Rex is my bi/pan icon and hell yeah, now they can talk about chicks and dudes together.
If anybody tries to be gross about it, Rex is the kinda guy to go “we literally wear colorful tight spandex suits, but your problem is that invincible has a boyfriend?” and Mark just goes “yeah man, what the fuck?”
Mark would get you an invincible themed binder if he can, because you “gotta rep your boyfriend, right?” and cuz hes a damn nerd. There is also a seance dog binder somewhere.
Mark would somehow get the GDA to pay for your top surgery if you wanted one, like, he does a job for them and is like “only if your best guys do my boyfriends surgery”.
And like, top surgery has to be one of the cheapest payments they've been asked for. Top surgery paid for by the American government.

I replied to a post a lesbian woman made about the dating scene as a lesbian and I replied how you get called bigoted if you don't want to date trans women/males that identify anything besides their sex and I found it so hilarious that every single one that went off about how I am transphobic, am invalidating their identity bu referring to them as male, that trans identified men can be lesbian, bla bla bla were white women who identify as other shit and short colored hair, makeup, and even glasses (bad glasses rep). One of them even tried saying to learn about how my opinion is related to white supremacy, and I'm like... bro I'm literally a brown ass Mexican and you are telling me that when you're a fucking cracker. How can I be more gender non-conforming as a "cis woman" and all of yall they/he/she/xer/delululand women be more feminine then me XD (One of them changed their pfp to have Palestine but she was pasty white af with the colored hair)

I hope yall realize what an incredible loss RWBY will be if it doesn't get picked up.
Two of the main female characters are sapphic and in a relationship. Blake is canonically bisexual and a survivor of abuse. Yang is disabled and went through an entire arc about her ptsd and dealing with her trauma. Its also worth mentioning Blake is voiced by an openly bisexual woman.
the main character of the entire shows VA (lindsay jones) is gender queer and Ruby canonically neurodivergent, as well as aroace coded (she is not canonically confirmed to be aroace but she's widely considered to be at least ace)
It has one of the best written trans characters I've ever seen, voiced and written with the assistance of a trans woman.
The show openly shows other queer romances, with at one point a pair of married women being shown on screen with their baby, and yes the two characters had a real role in the plot.
While they haven't been amazing about poc rep before they are actively taking criticism and in recent years have learned how to write good poc rep.
RWBY, at its core, was an indie animation project. It was created by a small team of people on an incredibly small budget. Its gotten bigger and bigger over the years with a larger budget, RWBY is proof that an indie series can get massive, it is a massive win for indie animation all together.

im crying they really will find any excuse to hate on Sera even though its been 10 years...

oh boy, a decade-old terrible take just got even worse. "sera/taash is bad lesbian/enby rep because they're abrasive. queer people in media should be Unthreatening Witty Cis Gay Men (Who Talk About Boys With Me 🥰)"
#da fandom really is a flat circle#its always the same thing#holy SHIT#any non male character that is not interested in men and is not made of paper mache is treated so badly.... yall need to grow the fuck up#and now theyre bundling taash up with sera because??? say the quiet part out loud already im tired#its never abt proper trans/lesbian rep theyll always see us as 'too mean'

i wish their was more trans 4 cis rep. genuinely.
i know a lot of people feel safer with other trans people, but honestly given my experiences i simply don't. they have just as much potential to use your identity as a weapon to disrespect and abuse you and it gives me no peace of mind to know i'm with s trans person. todays "oml i love my bf" is tomorrows "idk i just kinda think your [whatever gender they want me to be instead]"
and i know thats dumb bc like who cares lol but idk. i have a non LGBT bf rn who isnt the most educated on the community (but super supportive, i'm not keeping him ignorant. he is respectful and very open minded.) and he is the sweetest person i ever met.
"oh your gender experience is [confusing as thing most people harass me for cuz its the 'wrong' way of being trans]? okay i mean im kinda confused but i still love you"
^!!!!!
like theres something so sweet and wholesome and just HEALING about being in a relationship with someone that truly cares for you, not in spite of but WITH your queerness and all. its beautiful. and the fact theyre not LGBT just adds a layer of "i am not only lovable by people who experience the same as me" that makes me feel so good man.
idk this is dumb but basically: the dynamic of cis x trans culd be so good yall really sleep on it. everyone heres that and has the same stereotype in they head they have with bi womens boyfriends.. its gross!! queer people are capable of being loud and proud while in a relationship with someone who isnt queer. queer people can be in a relationship with a non queer person snd be loved.
i just really wish this got like. any more rep than it does but for some reason its basically looked at as "betraying" the community which is so fucking stupid stg. :((!!!
anyways yea. sorry for the dumb rant peice i guess haha
i feel like a lot of people hold t4t on some kind of purity pedestal of like. it eliminating your risk of getting hurt(the same way people do with wlw relationships) and yeah i think its generally speaking safer but like. cmon guys.

Yall I’m watching Kaos on netflix right now and it’s really stinkin good??? It’s a really good adaptation of Greek myths, and so far is a fantastic retelling of Eurydice and Orpheus! Fucking hells man, it’s awesome.
I also lowkey think this might have been a Jeff Goldblum passion project because the set design is top notch.
And I’m loving it cause it’s just reveling in how lowkey evil the gods are??? Like how they are in the myths! So far there hasn’t been a single god that I’m like “Yeah that’s the good guy” WHICH IS ACCURATE
I’m constantly comparing it to my knowledge of the myths and it’s just so good
Damn
Also it’s pretty stinkin gay and I’m seeing a bunch of trans actors and rep and canon gay shit and it’s making me so happy hrksbdka

IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT!!!! thank you for taking the time to reply to my silly doodles…..I love [Gangle] very much she makes me very happy….i love all your designs very VERY much actually!!! The Trio isn’t focused on NEARLY enough i don’t think, and your irl au designs (not to mention…god tier comics, holy shit) are INCREDIBLE and touch on a lot of aspects of all their characters that people don’t really talk about much!!
Not to go off on a. Large ramble here, but like. i mean it. Your designs, to me, are very faithful-feeling depictions of The Kind Of People Facing The Kinds Of Issues They Have, ESPECIALLY Zooble and gangle.
I mean. Like. Words not wording but, the reality of having severe mental health struggles, and experiencing symptoms like depression, overeating, neglecting hygiene ect— those are all real things that get lost in the pastelization of modern-media depictions of such things. But your [gangle] is built off this reality and I feel like it strengthens her character in a way more people should appreciate!! She struggles with these things and it shows in her life, like it does in real life, and. Grrr. Grrrrrr squeezing her like a stress ball she’s so COOL.
Same with Zooble! Other people have talked about it more in-depth, but physical masculinity in gnc folks is something even fellow queers can find taboo— Trans women with deep voices, or masculine facial features, or even just amab nb people— they don’t get as much rep as they should!! Masculine features aren’t as loved as they should!!
But again your [zooble] completely smashes though this and I ADORE them for it!! “MASC ZOOBLE SPOTTED!” is a tag i have on my blog BECAUSE of the rarity of amab-Zooble in this fandom, despite their trans coding, and youre like. My shining beacon, among the Yuri, with your Zooble and their UNABASHED representation of masc gnc folk. High cheekbones n stache n fuzz n all!!!
Hand on a burnt Bible, your [Zooble] looks more like a real life gnc person to me that I have actually seen in grocery stores, than (sorry guys) any other design yet— MY Zooble design doesn’t look as faithful to “this is a real person who has fistfought gender and won” as yours!! This scruffy pink-hair-with-pronouns triangle ass motherfucker is hands down my FAVORITE DESIGN!!!!
….Anyway, uh, my point is, your irl designs just feel. REALLY faithful to who the characters are, what they struggle with, and who they would realistically be in the real world with these struggles. You have Literally Achieved the Ultimate Irl Au. Which is why. They are my favorite. And I think your art is cool also 👉👈
ok, I’m so sorry, I’ve been yapping so long, (I could probably go on a lot more on just WHAT aspects of the characters you highlight character wise n how fucking cool it is) BUT!! In conclusion…your art is COOL! and I LIKE IT! and YES!!!!

*crashes in through brick wall*
I TRIED👍

Very messy…..very messy messy doodles BUT …..I tried!!! I did Zooble aswell but I need to draw xem full body like gangle first before I share otherwise I’ll die
GGFG H
WAAGHAHGOOOO HOOOO HOOOO
I NEED YOU TO KNOW I HAD TO PACE AROUND MY ROOM AFTER SEEING THESE
YOU DREW HER SO BEAUTIFULLY AND WITH SUCH CARE… [POMNI] TOO!! I LOVE HER STRUGGLING SO HARD TO BE THE BIG SPOON, THATS LEGIT CANON TO THE IRL AU 😭
I LOVE how you stylize [Gangle] so so much and visually show her personality through these�� she looks like those ridiculously huge teddy bears they sell during Valentine’s Day season…. Her nose!!! WAH
I’m like, genuinely so touched by this? Thank you so much truly, I’m incredibly flattered you took time out of your day to draw my silly lil rendition of an Irl Gangle 🥺💚

the sunbearer trials is everything i wanted in a main character (hes a trans man where him being trans isnt even in the top 5 most interesting things about him, in a story where not only does his being trans play *no* plot relevance at, but hes also a decent ways into his transition and nobody treats him as anything but a guy) and i love it so dearly for that alone
and *then* the author goes and makes teo super likable, funny, with god damn *wings* and gives him a super interesting world to live in and experience, its fantastic and i love the shit out of the sunbearer trials. i only just read it and i regret not reading it earlier
yall go read it. then tell everyone you know to go read it, this book is wonderful. its not perfect, i wont lie, but it is a solid young adult modern fantasy story with interesting, dynamic, diverse, and entertaining characters and a cool, if relatively vague and unexplored, magic system
plus a *ton* of lgbtq+ rep. in this world, the literal creator god is nonbinary, and many other gods are in queer relationships. a character being trans or loving someone of the same gender is hardly even noteworthy, which is a very nice change of pace imo
more stories where the main character just happens to be trans, not a trans main character, please! this story is awesome and im so glad i got to experience it
okay im done rambling now go read it
#if the author of the sunbearer trials ever sees this no you didnt#pls im too high right now for this to be seen by someone that relevant#the fandom for this story is so suprisely small#is this what motivates me to get back into art? bringing this book into the spotlight it deserves?#probably not but that would be cool right 👀#the sunbearer trials#the sunbearer duology#teo the sunbearer trials

All the Dropout transmisogyny discourse anons I got, because there are a ton. I don't have much to add here that I haven't already said and aren't going to repeat a million times in the near future, and I have a million more asks still in my inbox, so these don't have answers, but each of them has values of their own and I'm happy to platform them. Yall are very insightful and articulate.
cw for suicide mention
"dropout doesn't have enough transfems"
my best friend tried to kill herself a couple of months ago just because being alive as a poor trans fem in a red state is that fucking painful and difficult. that's the state of the world for 90% of trans people. and that other 10%? thats you (not you velvet, the people that are whining about dropout).
shut the FUCK up about dropout. you don't fucking care about trans women, you care about being mad about stupid bullshit so you can get off to feeling oppressed by the only company on fucking earth who is making ANY effort to fucking platform and take care of queer artists. it is so disgustingly priveleged to be upset about a fucking streaming platform as small as dropout not having "enough" of the Right Kind of Tranny on it.
i am so sick of these fucking people. trans people are getting fucking murdered and killing themselves, we are losing our fucking siblings, and instead of trying to take action to stop & prevent violence against us, they're bitching online because Show They Don't Watch doesn't have enough trans women on it.
______________________________________________________________
Ngl this discord is coming off very white and representative politics had already been disproven by black folks in America. Representation is nice but does nothing to fix the root issues, why expect a private company to be able to fix it? This anger could be place in more productive and necessary trans issues
______________________________________________________________
the talk about dropout not including transfems annoys me on a couple of levels of like, yeah, they could have more transfems. factual statement. but there very well may be transfems working in or around dropout that either are in the closet or don't feel like making themselves known, and demanding that you know the agab (tma or tme) of every person involved in dropout just so you can fufill some kind of tme vs tma trans quota is. a tad fucked up.
______________________________________________________________
"#and people have been pointing out how its fucked that theres p good transmasc representation on drop out" wow! I hate this! like i guess i should be grateful that they're saying the quiet part out loud or whatever but how have we gotten to a point where having good trans representation is "fucked"??? just because it's not the Specific Type of Trans you want to see represented. Especially when the most prominent one came out and transitioned after being hired???? so they weren't even hired to fill some "quota" of representation ALSO i think i sent asks to you about this before but i'm tired as fuck of people just immediately pointing at nonbinary people and calling them transmasc!!!! y'all are so fucking exorsexist and binarist that you genuinely view the world as "men and men-adjacent" and "woman and woman-adjacent" we're never escaping the hell that is binary gender norms are we. also like. immediately calling all nonbinary people transmasc is actively participating in the erasure of transfem nonbinary people. you don't know someone's ASAB by looking at them. you don't know how or if someone has transitioned already. all you know is that they're not cis and use they/them pronouns. as a smaller note, i've seen people saying something like the drag queens don't count as transfem rep on dropout and it makes me so angry! why are we buying into the Rupaul Drag Race-ification of drag that tries to deny the foundational role trans people of all types have in drag? did they bother to look into the queens to see which are transfem or not?? i cannot name a drag queen in my city that is a cis man. i live in a major city. i'm sure they're out there, but the scene is rightfully filled with trans women artistically expressing exploring and celebrating their gender. this dropout drama is so manufactured and for what. what's the goal here? dropout reads to me like a group of comedians who are friends and are still sticking together after college humor died. it's not like they have constant main cast recruitment drives, from what i can tell, it's more of a "hey I (dropout cast member) know this other comedian that'd be a great fit. we should hire them". i'm just so tired of this faux moral outrage when nothing of substance has occurred and every trans person in my life is struggling to afford to survive and being crushed under the weight of the ongoing supreme court case on gender affirming care
______________________________________________________________
I don’t have the energy to unblock plaidos long enough to rewrite the anon I forgot I wouldn’t be able to send, but I don’t think she understands that Bezos (owner of Amazon Prime, a much larger streaming service with presumably dozens of original shows, but I don’t actually know and don’t really care) could buy Sam Reich for exactly his net worth literally a million times over and eat him for breakfast as easily as he could anyone else in this country. Why are we supposed to be mad at him for not being above and beyond what every other company’s standards are?? Show me PROOF trans women are getting snubbed for roles on Dropout shows or shut the fuck up. A show having any ONE trans person should be seen as a win, now we have to have multiple kinds? (And don’t think us nonbinary people can’t see the blatant fucking binary they’re boiling trans rep down to. At least make the categories “transmisogyny affected” “transandromisia affected” (that’s the term Ive seen the least hate for so in my head it’s what the tmas are most okay with) and “exorsexism affected” and pretend to care about unaligned enbans not IDing as teansfem or transmasc?????
okay im done i should really go to bed i don’t even know why i care ive never watched a dropout show i guess im just fucking sick of people inventing problems where there are none so they can feel properly downtrodden. Im in constant physical pain and going on year 5 of disability benefit denials, my anxiety is off the charts, im falling back into suicidal ideation since the election, and I’m homeless and once again living with my queerphobic just left of fundie family. Some of us have REAL FUCKING PROBLEMS and there’s plenty of other stuff being created that claims to care about queer people and has yet to have any trans rep. Go yell at goddamn disney some more, fuck!!!!)
______________________________________________________________
So how do you think all the people mad about dropout right now would react to me pointing out the lack of transmasc creators on nebula?

i wouldn't be surprised if one of the reasons trfs are deciding to get mad at dropout is because you like it

I was reading the dropout discourse with a furrowed brow. Real stink face situation. Just due to the ridiculousness of it all. And my boyfriend comes up and goes "hey :D! Wait, what's wrong?" N I'm like "nothing, just ppl being dumb." And he was like "oh. Well, it's snowing outside! :D" and we went outside with the dog and played in the snow and it was a real eye opening experience. Real ppl online vs people in real life kind of situation.
People online: the streaming platform Dropout is not TMA enough
People in real life: hey, it's snowing outside!

yknow how right wing pundits will pick the culture war du jour to make a huge deal out of? remember how they were SO upset about mr potato head being potato they or whatever, which was quickly dropped because santa claus is black sometimes and we need to be worried about that, which was then dropped because the green m&m wasnt sexy enough...
and how it's this neverending cycle of picking non-issues to fight about? because it's more about riling up general-your base, making them think everyone is out to get them all the time in all these insidious ways, to make the entire world seem darker and more dangerous than it is? and when people outside this circle say these are non-issues, their lack of understanding about how bad the world actually is serves to further rile up that same base, who now think they're the only truth-seers?
anyway, dropout has marginally more tmascs than tfems and we're all really very mad about this real issue

People are really showing their ~tme discourse~ asses with this dropout thing because like: by their own stupid framework definition isn’t TME supposed to be all non-transfems? So like… cis people? But their graphs are instead just singling out Beardsley as the Evil Appropriating Interloper Stealing Opportunities From Real Trans People. Like… y’all aren’t even PRETENDING that your entire position isn’t just “fuck transmascs in particular”

re: the dropout discourse like yeah it did take a while for Brennan to make a transfem NPC but does nobody remember The Seven??? a whole season where a transfem PC was played by a transfem person? i haven’t finished the season yet but cmon people. it came up in like the first or second episode.
