idea: RPG that says it's a game that gives you an option for being trans but as you actually play the game, and as you pay close attention to the dialogue the options, what endings you gain access too... You start to realize something. The character you are playing as... *Is trans,* theres signs of dysphoria or longing. Your choices aren't deciding wether or not the character has these feelings, your choices are wether or not the character is going to recognize, vocalize or do something bout it. And sure you can technically play the game and get to a "good ending"(for the world, the story etc) but they don't don't transition or recognize ethe feelings but it's still hollow. But also crucially even in that ending, if you finish and watch the final cutscene for it you can still be offered a final option, " it's not too late, do you want to see the truth?"( Or something fancier or metaphorical or something) and the game ends, even if you feel like time is running out, that the story is over, that you consistently made the wrong choice, or the choice to ignore it, that there's always a chance, it's never too late to figure out who you are.

we need to make peace with the fact that "i am a girl and retroactively i always was even when i didn't personally think so" and "i am a girl but i used to be a boy" are both equally valid ways to be transfem and both are punk af bc they equally reject societal norms of what a person's gender experience should be

I’m curious about something
I would appreciate if NB or other non-cisgender identifying participants use the OTHER poll option but PLEASE EXPLAIN WHICH TRANS NARRATIVE OPTION YOU ALIGN WITH. You do not have to explain your gender identity.
This is an experimental poll for a university gender ethnography project.

Quotes from Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender by Kit Heyam
“The second problem with our existing criteria for inclusion in ‘trans history’ is that they privilege an incredibly narrow version of what it means to be trans. The trans histories we tend to tell are those that conform to the trans narrative that’s centered and recapitulated in contemporary media. The non-binary writer and activist Jacob Tobia, in their memoir Sissy: A Coming-Of-Gender Story,…

I want to say... Despite being made for mainstream, it's also the most trans movie I've ever seen. It's very gay, but it's incredibly trans. I don't know how else to say it. Take that as you will from a cis queer person. But it was created by a trans creator, and you can feel that in the story and the central theme. It's a powerful story and I hope everyone gets to see it.
Also, I will say, this movie really makes you think you know what it is in the first 30 minutes to an hour. But by god you don't know. You just don't know.

My fav agents of the transsexual empire 🫶😁🏳️⚧️
I think personally we should draw them as adults getting to fully indulge in their teen fashion aspirations. (see second image) Callies outfit was inspired by paint splotches and embroidery as if she made her outfit herself :) A true artist!
Third is my updated readings. I say "readings" because i believe theres textual evidence for these and its how i interpreted them from my read throughs. (Only jake has the autism symbol because hes the most explicitly disabled coded in text but all of them to me are neurodivergent)
The gender labels are used loosely bc i think each of them has an incredibly unique journey/relationship with their gender that cant be encapsulated in a small set of words, and i do not think any of them would actually fully use labels either.
I am just using these to simplify down my thoughts into something easily digestible LOL MY THOUGHTS ON THEM AND THEIR PARALLELS + MIRRORS + INVERSIONS ARE SUPER COMPLEX i think about them Genuinely Literally Every Day of my Life. theyd have to be saved for a different time </3 but ya alpha kids trans 4EVER howd hussie cram THIS AMOUNT of queerness into these guys.. will never know

If I caught your faggot ass looking at me in the locker room ? I’d ask what the hell you want. I’d pull down my shorts, flash you my dick and say “this what you want, you just wanted to see some dick ?”, wagging it back and forth at you. “Never taken real man’s dick before huh, you want me to fuck your ass ? Get a taste for real man ?”
Now my dicks right up again your face, every time you breath it twitches, you look up into my eyes, “eat it fag.”and you take me into your mouth as far as you can’t until you choke. “I know you can do better than that,” I say pumping into your throat to push myself deeper. you look up at me and place my hands behind your head. I gently force myself down your throat. Nose up against my bush and your bottom lip nestled in my sack. “That’s it your satisfied now huh?” And you nod at me as spittle drips down your chin and spills in between your thighs. “Next time I do this to your hole.”

"i have a sister now! thank you, granpa! we are going to do so much stuff together!"
(trans masc newborn shado btw. tag as ship and ill kill you)
#im so done. they deserved so much better#im getting atatched to maria now and its#its not easy. shes basicaly a pure white girl but also a completely blank canvas#yet im so. shes so.. i hc those earings are a gift from her parents they gave her jjst before she moved to the ark. she always wears them#she was a human being with her own identity but neither her granpa (the person that raised her) nor the narrative treats her as such#there had to be some fucked up shit she went through psycologicaly that not even shadow got to know#its actually painful for me to draw her not happy. its too much#also shadow is trans masc and just a few days of age thats why maria calls him “sister”#sth#sonic#sonic fanart#shadow the hedgehog#maria robotnik#nov.aart

there are many arguments for why light could be transmasc but chief among them to me is that it explains why soichiro and sachiko yagami have one child named "sayu" and one child named "light but it's written with the kanji for moon unusual isn't it"
#im not particularly married to light being trans but im just saying he could be. he could be trans#he could be trans in a way that never comes up and it wouldn't affect or contradict the existing narrative at all#which to me. is compelling#rookposting#death note#im just saying if light got to choose his own name he would not choose a normal name#nonbinary person naming themself leaf energy#i also think soichiro and the yagamis are one of few fictional families that would earnestly do their best to switch pronouns/names#like if i can picture any fictional dad not knowing how the hell to connect with his transgender child but like really Awkwardly Trying#In A Distant And Clumsy Way#to Validate his Son (Son)'s gender (son) despite not quite understanding it (him) (son). i can picture soichiro yagami doing it#in a more modern au he sets 'daughter' to autocorrect to son in his phone which doesn't quite work since he also has a daughter

one thing I really really appreciate abt riz gukgak as a character is that he is un-self-aware to the max. he inhabits his body so completely. the arc that would usually be run as "I'm different and unable to connect with my friends in this way that everyone seems to be able to do and so something's wrong with me and I don't like myself" when it comes to riz is actually like no! I have literally no problems or praises for myself personally. I don't stand outside of my own self and judge it. it's phrased as "other people will eventually find someone more important to them than you" rather than centering it on his self-perception. he doesn't know why he doesn't have the best social life on earth even though he's not afraid at all to talk to other people. every time he sees himself in someone else's actions or behaviour he gets startled by it. his latest epilogue is realizing seemingly for the first time that he's not just an agent of causes but an actual character. he's my hero and I want to be him when I grow up
#not art#fantasy high#this trait with him is kinda why I don't really ascribe any prominent trans narrative to him. even though hes very gender#I think I said once like bc he didn't just walk into the girls bathroom I don't think he finds himself on that axis in general#bc if he's any less attached to his gender he would 100% have done it lmao#and the great thing is the more he gets comfortable with his friends the less self aware he becomes#saying shit like ''chop his head off so he doesn't revive'' fully uncaring for the optics. I love him#its honestly great esp. with the Living While Goblin stuff going on too. no inner conflict with that dude#he's fully great! he's awesome he's all gucci. the world is just fucked and that's why shit sucks for him#(this makes me doing something model-minority-adjacent for bard!riz a bit harrowing shdjsh I dont wanna lose this)#(he's dictated by fear but it doesn't mean he reflects those fears back onto himself as a person lol. at least kid got better)

hate to put anything about JK Rowling on your dash but I saw this post and immediately thought about how much of Rowling’s future ideology was foreshadowed in Harry Potter looking back and how much the really shitty things both the “good” and “bad” characters do are all totally reflections of herself…
Like I was specifically thinking about how much Dumbledore’s insistence on calling Voldemort by his birth name bothered me more and more growing up…and now it’s like oh my god duh it was because Dumbledore was literally deadnaming him because using a person’s chosen name (and by extension, pronouns!!) is something that Rowling thinks should be a privilege you receive if someone respects you that can be instantly taken away if you are “bad” and not worthy of respect
Dumbledore refusing to call Voldemort by his chosen name and calling him “Tom” instead (and keep in mind how Voldemort willingly changed his body to a form he was more comfortable with) was literally just thinly-veiled transphobia wasn’t it and the only reason Voldemort isn’t explicitly trans is because Rowling wrote these books in the early 2000s and Voldemort probably IS a trans woman but the whole damn time she’s being misgendered by an unreliable narrator
#jk rowling#tw transphobes#tw transphobia#harry potter#look I do hate to talk about all this in 2024 but it would be very fascinating to reexamine#the entire HP canon through the lens of Rowling’s current politics and see how much was there from the start#the idea that Voldemort is a trans woman throughout the entire narrative and is just misgendered the whole time is so compelling to me#like I feel Rowling would retroactively trans Voldie the way she made Dumbledore gay#but doing so would have to mean calling Voldie a woman in any form and of course Rowling would refuse to do that

genuinely fucking furious about reactions to Mcbride, especially seeing this shit coming from fellow trans ppl…. like have you lost the fucking plot????
#🧿#like u do realize we are damned if we do/damned if we don’t w regards to cis ppl passing laws on our bodies#like if she pushed back can u realize how that would feed into the narrative of 'trans ppl invading womens spaces' and just inflame shit#more???#WHY ARE YOU MORE OUTRAGED W A TRANS PERSON MAKING PERSONAL DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR SAFETY THAN THE CIS PPL MAKING THESE RULES IN THE FIRST PLA#E????????#they all have private bathrooms anyway like this is just more cis bullying & y‘all continue to blame trans ppl for it#the bar is so fucking low and yet i‘m still fucking disappointed

one of the main reasons i love ofmd is the unapologetic queer joy they show us. there's not a single moment where the drama revolves around a character's "coming out" moment. there's no need to accept or reject anyone for what they identify as. like, for fuck's sake, there have been so many moments in the show where they explicitly tell us, "hey, this is us, take it or leave it." no explanations, no justifications—just pure, unfiltered representation. it truly drives in the point that at the end of the day, queer people are also just simply people.
as much as i appreciate the abundance of queer representation we're getting now, i cannot emphasize how much a show like ofmd means to me. i am begging more companies to do what ofmd is doing and just show queer people living as boring old fucking people instead of as victims. take us beyond existing as an educational tool or a plot device. show queer people being people, and we'll stop being victims.
"kill me. kill us all. our spirit will last throughout your entire fսckin' empire because... we're good." you know what this show teaches us? that queer people are resilient as fuck, and that whatever we may have been told, shown, and made to believe about our queerness is wrong. we're good. we continue to be good despite the hardships we face. despite all the shit our elders and trailblazers have gone through from the beginning. despite the political landscapes of today that continue to try to strip us of our dignity and rights. we still exist and we will continue to exist—as people first, and victims last.
#elio talks#ofmd#our flag means death#ofmd s2#ofmd season 2#lgbt#queer#izzy hands#gentlebeard#blackbonnet#ofmd meta#like.... guys i just cant stop thinking about this. sob#that quote has literally been burnt into my mind the moment i heard it#like. they really did that to us. FOR us#looked us straight in the eye and said 'you're good you know. don't believe the shit you've heard.'#'your queerness does not defile you.'#anyway. feeling v passionate about this#prob bc im also doing extensive research about queer and trans youth in the 'at-risk' narrative w my prof sdjgjsgs

Trans guys with religious trauma gotta be one of my favorite flavors, I’m gobbling this man up
And yes I’m convinced he smokes. Does he have religious guilt over it? Yes. Do I even know if it was considered bad for a priest to smoke back then? Absolutely not. But he deserves a cigarette after all this shit
#could he technically be trans in the actual story?#no#but we can dream#but seriously#Oliver?#martin kartin Blackwood?#benji from hell followed with us?#such darlings all of them#tbh I don’t really even care about the plot of malevolent#I just want more of my little guys#they’re so tortured and doomed by the narrative /aff#malevolent podcast#malevolent#podcasts#Oliver malevolent#I just spent like five minutes trying to figure out was his last name was so I could tag it#and he just. doesn’t#guys I need to know if anyone has any good last names for this man
