I feel like since we’re sharing our trans empires hcs i should share that Joey got top surgery but like, accidental. A shark bit his tits clean off. He’s got sickass bite mark scars.
The Scandinavian shark plushie, and famous internet trans ally, it's BLÅHRKY! Get one yourself for only §50 (Mega Edition costs §85)!
I've been unable to use my PC for the last four months (it d!ed lulz), and as soon as I got it back working (now w/ a graphic card!) the first thing I did was to set up all my things and go back to work on my Sims projects (slowly bc I still have Uni stuf to do).
I then decided to work on a small project of converting @madameriasims4's Blahrky Collection to Sims 3. Atm I only managed to convert the decorative items, still need to figure out how to make the toy version functional. I decided to use the lower-poly LODs as a way to make them more Maxis-match and game-friendly.
CASt-able, 3 channels, 18 swatches (two stencils). As both of them use the Pets giraffe plushie as a base, they have a 1x1 route map. Weirdly enough in-game it says they require Late Nigth, so it's a good idea to have it installed (even tho they might work w/ just base game)
Dear "ally", as you can see I have you dangling over a pit of deadly sharks. In order to escape you must validate a trans woman. That may seem easy my dear ally, yes? But there is a twist! You must describe her using only compliments that aren't from fetish pornography! You have seven minutes dearest ally.
I use He / Him, They / Them, Star / Starself , and Chirp / Chirpself pronouns, I really like it when people use these interchangeably so please do that!!
I am a polytherian , plantkin , and otherkin! my theriotypes / kintypes are

-Maurice helps him put on his bindings in the morning, it's like a routine for them
-also takes care of him during his shark week, though at first Alec probably tries to act like he’s fine and doesn’t need help but relents because Maurice is a mom friend
-I’ve heard reports of top surgery as early as the 20’s, so I hc that he gets top surgery later on in their relationship
-Alec's dad totally raises him as a son and does "guy" things with him (mayhaps projecting my dad kinda did that with me when i was an egg and took me hunting, I was also a country boy)
-I think the general hc about the Scudders are supportive of Alec's bisexuality, I think they'd also be chill about him being trans. Though I think it's funny if they don't approve of Maurice at first because he's a gentleman
-definitely wears Fred's hand me downs
-probably picked the name Alec because the meaning of it goes hard "protector of men"
-I also believe in trans ally Milly
-also again heavily believe in trans ally Maurice, though he did have a misogyny era with clive unforunately :(((
-i think alec would come out to him on their first night together, maurice would probably be confused at first but again i think he would ultimately be supportive
-i feel like alec being trans would change the romance arc a wee bit, especially during the breakup arc, i could go into it in a follow up post mayhaps
-idk this man is just trans, he's a whimsical fae nature boy that's pretty tboy
shoutout to @ian-thebean for getting me on trans alec brainrot
Newsweek has tried to get to the bottom of the Ikea Blåhaj mystery: How did this plush toy become a transgender symbol and meme?
Newsweek reports:
Blåhaj's [Swedish for “blue shark”] first links to the trans community can be traced as far back as 2020 when one Reddit post shared a cartoon featuring the shark with the caption: "Blåhaj is an ally."...
Meanwhile, many people have shared how the plush has become the perfect gift for loved ones. One Twitter user wrote: "Just bought 4 mini Blåhaj for all the trans women in my life."
Others say that its popularity among the trans community really gained steam in 2021 when the Swiss government held a referendum on same-sex marriage to amend the country's Civil Code to legalize marriage between persons of the same sex...IKEA advertised its support for the legalization of same-sex marriage with an advertising campaign.
Emi, who is a trangender woman, told Newsweek that she credits the rise of the shark's popularity as an LGBTQ+ icon to several factors, including the Swiss IKEA ad and the shark's online popularity in the mid-2010s.
"It makes perfect sense to me because there was an incredible queer and trans scene on Tumblr back then," said Emi. "In fact, Tumblr played a big role in me meeting queer and trans people, learning about my own gender and sexuality, and even buying my first breast forms and officially starting my transition."
My favorite thing happening right now on the clock app is everyone finding out this surfer who's arm is missing cuz a shark wanted it is transphobic and now everyone is like sharks are trans ally and we stan sharks
Like fuck that lady, also I'm happy people are loving on sharks cuz they're amazing animals and need more love
Sasha Jane Lowerson, the only publicly known trans-woman competing in professional surfing, is the first trans-woman to win a female longboarding competition—which also means she has solely borne the brunt of online hatred from trolls who follow the surf world, as well as anti-trans industry figureheads like Bethany Hamilton.
Hamilton, the devout Christian champion surfer famed for losing her arm in a shark attack age 13, has been making anti-trans comments publicly since the World Surf League adopted a policy requiring trans-female athletes to maintain a testosterone level of less than five nmol/L for at least 12 months in order to compete in the women’s division. Most recently, Hamilton and swimmer Riley Gaines embarked on a tour to promote their agenda.
For a brief moment, a possibility of change flickered: international surf corporation Rip Curl, purveyor of wetsuits, apparel, and swimwear, released a documentary ad featuring Lowerson in the 2024 “Summer Looks Good on You” campaign, a long-running Rip Curl Womens series.
Rip Curl also sponsored Hamilton, at the time. “I didn’t want anything to do with a company that supported someone like that,” Lowerson says of when they first approached her. In thinking about it further, though, she reconsidered. The fact that they had approached her could mean “they’re distancing themselves from those attitudes and that stigma, from misinformation and the spread of hate. So I said yes.”
Lowerson has spent over thirty-five years in the industry as a longboarder, including as a sponsored surfer. Longboarding uses a board typically longer than 9 feet where the sport is more about style, flow, and grace and allows for more of a platform for the dance than the fast, highly maneuverable shortboards typically seen in pro-surfing. She’s currently an Ambassador for Athlete Ally, an organization working for LGBTQI+ inclusion in sport, and to end transphobia and homophobia.
In her video, the phenomenal longboarder discusses how surfing has influenced her life and the joy she finds in riding waves. “I believe it’s the only sport where we get to perform on a changing platform, a moving dance floor,” she says. The video, an artful mini-documentary focused on Lowerson’s love of her sport, appeared online on January 24th of this year.
On January 29th, Hamilton tweeted “Male-bodied athletes should not be competing in female sports,” targeting Lowerson.
Then, on January 31st, six days after Lowerson’s ad was posted, Rip Curl pulled the ad, appeasing the anti-trans side. They released this statement soon after their decision:
[...]
The head of the campaign, Lowerson says, “told me, ‘we’re removing the post for your safety, Sasha.’ And I turned around and said to him, ‘that’s bullshit, you’re doing this for brand protection.’ I’m not stupid; my safety’s not a consideration. I’m so disappointed for believing that a major corporation as big as Rip Curl would stick by this sort of campaign with someone of a diverse gender. It was stupid to think they cared. I feel so hurt from that.”
Rip Curl made a decision not to support and stand behind the athlete. Lowerson points out other situations that have included trans-women in previously only cis- woman spaces - the modeling industry in particular, she says, “Victoria’s Secret - they were the first to put trans women on the catwalk. Their response to backlash was after having one trans woman on the catwalk, the next time there were three and the time after that, five. There’s trans women on more catwalks than ever in fashion shows these days.”
The affair left Lowerson with unanswered questions. Why didn’t the surf industry respond more like the modeling industry? Why didn’t Rip Curl double down, start featuring more trans-surfers?
“I have not had a financial sponsor in so many years,” Lowerson says.
Brennan of Surf Equity is concerned that the trend towards “prohibiting trans athletes from competition has been growing.” She senses “frustration across all these different sports that at some points things were moving in a more positive direction, and now it's just really awful. There's a lot of anger, frustration, and heartbreak, and people coming together on the question of what to do. Activists and lawyers who work in that space are just running into so many roadblocks. I tried to understand the psychology of why we are in this situation. There's a fear of getting involved in the politics of it because that can result in death, frankly. Pretty severe consequences to activists being public. There are just so many considerations.”
In the aftermath of the ad’s removal, Lowerson traveled to California and connected with surfboard shaper Mando, owner of Mando Surf Co in the Monterey Bay area, who is nonbinary. They’re launching two key collaborations: releasing a Sasha Jane signature model surfboard under the Mando label, and working on the soon-to-be nonprofit, GNDR Surf.
Trans female surfer Sasha Jane Lowerson was all set to do an ad for Rip Curl… only for it to be scuppered, thanks to anti-trans extremists such as Bethany Hamilton and Riley Gaines.

jamie-lynn pierce; auditioning with hello by allie x
wait, is that JAMIE-LYNN PIERCE? they kinda look a lot like JOSIE TOTAH, don’t they? i heard the TWENTY ONE year old is known as THE BOHEMIAN around mckinley. it seems like they auditioned to be in TROUBLETONES (co-captain) which is so lame? people at campus have said they’re KIND HEARTED, but don’t be fooled since they’re also OBLIVIOUS. rumor has it, you can find them at ENVIRONMENT CLUB AND THE MUCKRAKER when they aren’t belting show tunes. their entire vibe revolves around FLOWERS TUCKED INTO YOUR HAIR, SITTING ON THE WATER'S EACH AT SUNSET & WRITING POEMS ON THE MARGINS OF YOUR EXAM PAPERS but no one pays attention to that here in ohio.
As the sister of Brittany Pierce, Jamie-Lynn Stephanie Pierce shares her sister's penchant for having her head up in the clouds. Well, in Jamie-Lynn’s case, her head is more likely to be found in the water as she's extremely passionate about sea life! Her favorite deep sea critter is the goblin shark!
A proud autistic, lesbian trans woman, Jamie-Lynn makes some money on the side making earrings and key-chains of various LGBT+ and disability pride related things both via Etsy and through local markets. Her best seller is a pair of rainbow orca shaped earrings.
Jamie-Lynn recently found out her family is, in fact, not her biological family. She was shocked to find out she was adopted. Which, actually, shouldn't have been that shocking considering her mom is white and her dad is Asian and Jamie-Lynn is…Lebanese and Palestinian. Jamie-Lynn's research has led her to believe she may be the illegitimate daughter of Amal Clooney - George Clooney’s Lebanese wife. The Clooney estate has not replied to her emails as of yet.

They're just my main ocs and they get two docs, one for wips/scraps and one for planning and that one is for scraps and stuff.
I think I was supposed to include an extract thing so here, I'll do you one better:
My name is Karma Ellis. I am a sixteen-year-old trans boy. I am also demiromantic and asexual. I like cartoons and drawing on my shoes and I hate public speaking about boring things. I have been suicidal, I have been depressed and I have never fully gotten away from those feelings. It's always kind of like they’re lurking around the next corner waiting, always waiting, waiting for you to get a bad test score or get rejected. I think of them as sharks sometimes, waiting for dinner. And I really like The Icarus Society.
-
The internalised homophobia at age nine wasn’t great, Allistar. Especially if you're going to continue your career as a gay man.
-
And he is my best friend, my Karma.
To me, karma as a concept doesn’t mean the universe following an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth biblical reference. To me, it's more like every action, good or bad, has a reaction which balances the scales, so to say. For instance, I hid in a linen closet in our old house one night when my parents had guests and it was all just too much. So, I sat in the dark with my face pressed into my skirt, praying for solace. I was given Allie as a reaction. The guests, his father and aunt, were not as perceptive as they thought and he managed to slip away. He calmed me down instantly, just by being there. He was the first person not to look at me and wonder what I was worth to them. He just saw a scared nine-year-old trying to breathe, and he helped them.
Okay I'm going to stop before I begin screaming to the rooftops about how much they mean to me. (there is more to that Karma thing that is actually about Karma and not Allie lmao, but it's lengthy and I'm limiting myself)
