#transgender is valid

[bigdumbtickler03]

I apologize for not posting content lately but this whole election thing just really has me scared for the future and for everyone else out there.

I will eventually go back to posting regular content but right now, I’m just really upset.

Imma just add this now, if you voted for Trump, I want you to unfollow me and block me immediately. You are not welcome here as my blog is a safe space for everyone. Fuck you.

I am not trans but I will definitely be reblogging this for the people that are. YOU ARE VALID AND LOVED. YOU GOT THIS 💪❤️❤️❤️

If you are trans I need you to stay alive.

Stay alive for every other trans person fighting, stay alive for every trans person who is no longer here, and most importantly stay alive for yourself.

They don’t get to erase us! They don’t get to take away our rights, and treat us as less than human. Don’t let them erase us, and don’t let them make you a statistic. Don’t let them win.

Stay alive

If you won’t do it for yourself, then do it for others. Do it out of spite.

Would you like to date a naughty girl like me ?

[noahsfault]

I’m going to tell you something nobody told me:

It is O-fucking-Kay if you think you’re trans except for that one thing

If you think you might be a girl but you like having your hair short, or you don’t like wearing dresses, or you don’t want to wear makeup, that is totally okay

If you think you might be a guy but you like having long hair or you really love skirts or you wear lots of sparkly jewellery, that is totally okay

If you think you might be nonbinary but you really like presenting in a way that aligns with your agab, that is totally okay

If you think you might be trans but you aren’t sure if you want hormones, that is totally okay

If you think you’re trans “except for…” that is totally okay and get this: you don’t have to change that part of yourself to be trans

You can if you want to, but if you don’t, that is totally okay

On this fine day, at 8:37 AM, I walked outside to the front of my school and saw that they replaced the Canadian flag, the flag of our country, with a Pride flag. I have never felt happier. I have never laughed so hard in my life. This is in not a complaint, I just think it's very funny that they replaced the Canadian flag with a Pride flag for no apparent reason. They have their priorities figured out.

I am very upset to realize that @xpecially isn’t going to listen to people saying they’re transphobic and rude, so I contacted my good friends on discord (and tumblr! @ink-sans0fficial and @kaz-the-little-rat-man ) to give me their opinions on cross and his trans-coding. Both of them are trans, so I figured it was best to get their opinion seeing as I’m not trans myself.

We’ll start with Ink. I’ve known ink for four years, and they’re amazing and really fun to be with.

Here’s what they had to say on the topic.

Ink agrees that cross is not at all transgender. The trans-coding, however, is still there. He possesses traits that people associate with a trans person, hence the term “Coding” and not Jael outwardly saying cross is trans.

Kaz and I tend to have more in depth discussions, so there’s a few more screenshots here. I’ve known Kaz for about two years, and they’re also a blast to be around. I love my friends so much bro /platonic

Kaz is way more into character studies than I am, and he’s extensively studied papyrus like I’ve never seen another person do. I’m talking HYPERFIXATED on that dude. So I trust him to give an accurate description of cross’s behaviors.

TLDR of their points if you don’t want to read their messages:

Ink: No, cross isn’t trans. Cross has traits of being trans, hence the coding. He has traits trans people can and are likely supposed to relate to.

Kaz: Changing your name isn’t DID. Cross has childhood trauma, yes. There’s a massive difference between a story about someone with DID and someone wanting to break away from the role they’ve been forced to fill their whole life. It’s one thing to say “hey, I think cross has DID and is trans-coded” and another to say “no he just had DID he’s not trans-coded at all he’s just mentally ill.”

As an avid cross fan, I want to say it’s entirely fine to say you don’t see cross as trans or trans-coded. The whole thing with headcanons is that they’re how YOU see the character. What I’m not fine with is when you try to force your headcanons down people’s throats and throw a fit when people rightfully protest against your rude actions.

It’s okay to say “I don’t think cross is trans-coded because ‘x’”.

It’s okay to say “I think cross had DID and PTSD because of X, Y, and Z.”

It’s not okay to say “Jael is a strange and gross person for throwing in representation where it doesn’t belong and I think everyone who believes her is stupid and gross and uneducated.”

I can’t make you change your mind about your headcanons. They’re yours, after all. They’re your opinions. But I need you to be aware that the way you phrased it made you seem incredibly ableist and transphobic, not to mention your evidence frequently contradicts itself.

What you essentially said was “No, cross isn’t trans-coded, he’s just mentally ill.” And that’s very rude to neurodivergent people and transgender people. People don’t need to be traumatized or mentally ill to have an excuse to want to change their identity. Sometimes you just want to be different in your own way, be yourself.

Cross changed his name because he didn’t like being sans. That’s the same reason Carson might change her name to Cassidy when she transitions. Or maybe why Emily changes his name to Eric when he transitions. Or why Cassandra calls herself Casey. Names mean a lot in every culture, even among animals. People want to be called what they’re comfortable with.

Cross isn’t comfortable with ‘Sans’. So he changed it. Like Cassidy and Eric did. Casey is fine with being called Cassandra, but she feels more comfortable being called Casey because it feels more casual and more appropriate to who she is.

Just because cross doesn’t align with your perception of what being transgender is doesn’t mean he’s not representation. Cross is there to say “Whoever you are, whatever your identity is, however you decide to define yourself, it’s who you are.” You can be Casey. You can be Cassidy. You can be Eric. You can be Dave the Magical Cheese Wizard if you so wish. Your identity should make you feel comfortable, make you feel like, well, you!

You shouldn’t have to force yourself to suffer with your self hate when you can change something small like your name and feel immensely better about yourself. Which is what cross did. He changed his name to stand out, and it helped him. Did it fix everything? No. Absolutely not. You can’t solve every problem by changing your name, but it’s a start. It may be a bigger start for some than others, but it’s always a start. There’s going to be more steps no matter where you go, and you just gotta keep going. You’ll reach the finish line someday, as long as you keep trying.

And that’s what cross is. His entire character story since the beginning of underverse has been “I don’t like who I am. I’m mean, I’m rude, I’ve hurt so many people. I don’t want to be like this.” So he tries to fix it. Changes his name, tries to repair his world, tries to fix the issues he caused. After season one, he hasn’t changed much. But this is where he starts to change more. His character arc of wanting to be HIMSELF comes through.

He wants to fix the issues he caused, yeah, but he seems to know he can’t do that by brute forcing it. Dream starts the process by telling him no one can take away what he really is, and that’s what kickstarts the whole uphill battle of cross developing. He starts becoming more confident, more defined, more emotional, he’s acting different in a better way. The climax of this so far is when he firmly and angrily tells his brother that he is NOT what he used to be, and he DOESNT want to be what he used to be. He’s happy with what he is, and he’s going to make sure he stays that way.

Do you see my point here? Cross is the allegory for the change a transgender person goes through. He’s nowhere near a simple and easy to see layout of “Hey, I’m cross now”, but he’s showing the development of a trans person in a way. He’s becoming who he WANTS to be, not what everyone else wants him to be. What he feels comfortable with, happy with, safe with.

And that, my friends, is where his trans-coding comes in. He’s not really transgender, no. He’s still a boy, clearly, but he displays the process that one would go through as a transgender person. The struggles, the changes, the victories. The deadnaming, the support, the backlash. He was never trans, but he absolutely has the traits one would associate with a trans character.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk, remember that you’re valid, no matter what you think, what you do, or what your headcanons are. We just gotta all try to be nice.
