a feeling so foolish . . .

Franmaya has been on the mind lately. Their dynamic in particular has been driving me insane. Everything Franziska's done has tied back to Phoenix and Edgeworth, of course, but that's because Phoenix's a defense attorney that opposes her and Edgeworth is her sibling. Maya Fey though? She's just Phoenix's assistant. And yet repeatedly, just about every stint Franziska's had in Japanifornia has revolved around her, intentional or not. It's got me thinking about Maya's authenticity vs. Franziska's forced perfection and so on and so forth. Anyways, I'm writing a fanfic about it. You should read it.

Debated even making a post about this, but it really sucks that the oversexulization of trans women is treated like online micro-discourse. Transfeminity being seen purely as sexual is the basis fueling a HUGE percentage of the transphobia sweeping through the US and UK. Behind almost every single bathroom bill and legislation defining being trans as obscene is a politician saying something akin to “we need to protect womens spaces from dangerous biological males who will sneak in and sexually assault them.” People automatically assuming trans women to be sexual predators is exactly why groomer became the go-to insult on the right.

So of course trans women on tumblr get mad when you say “why are you posting about misogyny when we could be fucking? 😋” or respond to them asking you to be normal about trans women with a “YESSS I LOVE GIRLCOCK step on me tgirls 😍” It’s perpetuating the same problem in the other direction.

[ID: two screenshots of a reddit post on r/offmychest by user awaythrowjessie, titled "My girlfriend made me realize I'd be happier as a woman". it reads as follows:

I am 33, born male, and have had major self image issues my entire life. I hated seeing myself in mirrors, pictures, you name it. I honestly thought it was kinda normal so I just accepted it.

Now about 3 weeks ago I was at my girlfriends house, we have been dating a little over a year now, and have plans to move in together soon. Now recently she has shaved her head to support of her friends with cancer (side note thenl treatments for that friend are going very well). She had since bought some wigs to wear while her hair grows back out. We were joking around as I have male pattern baldness, and when she went to the bathroom I jokingly threw a wig on and waited. She came our, saw me we laughed for a bit and she said "you know I think you'd make a pretty girl" we laughed some more but those words triggered something in me.

Cut to a few night's ago she asked why I've been acting weird lately and I just told her how i was feeling. She said "alright let's do this " and when I asked what she told me she was going to give me a bit of a makeover and put me in one of her dresses and if i liked it then good. I was nervous and asked what if I did like it would she still be attracted to me. She just responded with "Baby you know I'm bi, guy or girl you're still mine." Her words reassured me honestly i love her so much.

Anyways she finished the make up, fitted a wig on me perfectly and got me in a dress and even helped me put a bra on and stuff in a little so i could see what breasts would kinda look like on me. Now I expected to see myself in the mirror, laugh this off and move on right, but I didn't. She did an unbelievable job, like I looked like I had been born a woman, and when I saw myself in the mirror for the first time in my entire life, I liked what I saw. I probably stared at myself for a good 10 minutes before she finally asked me something. She asked what I wanted to be called. After a few seconds I said Jessie, I always like the name Jessie. She whispered in my ear "well Jessie, you look beautiful." And that was it, I knew this was who i wanted to be.

I'm nervous now though, my friends will accept it but my family are, well let's just say not very progressive. But this is what I want.

over christmas when i came out fully to my mom she did tell me i was beautiful and gave me some of her old jewelry and told me she was excited to have another daughter and that was all wonderful, but the part that meant the most to me was when i told her "i want to get my facial hair taken care of sooner than later, the whole "girl" thing is a lot easier to swallow when im shaved" and she examined my use of the phrase "it's a lot easier to swallow" and said "Scout, I didn't have a good relationship with my mother. you know that." (i did know that, my grandma was NOT good to my mother) "but your grandma kim [friend of my grandma's, unrelated by blood in any way, but was adopted as a grandma through familial osmosis] was the greatest woman who's ever been in my life. and up until the day she died, she had a beard and a moustache [which is true, my grandma kim, a cis woman, had VERY thick facial hair]. if you kept your facial hair for the rest of your life i wouldnt think of you as less of a woman" and ya know what? THAT'S the part of her support that made me cry.

my grandma kim was an amazing woman and she had peach fuzz that she didnt give a FUCK about. and everyone loved her.

you can have your own fuzz too, and that doesn't make you not a woman.

A couple years have gone by since monsters officially reintegrated back into surface society. Families have settled into homes, suburbs have been built, and the sun shines above it all. But in a world of potential and limitless possibility - some things just never change. Or, in Bratty & Catty's case, some things change - just not by very much! Having upgraded from a back-alley shop to an actual building, "Buy Our Junk!" is moving up in the world! In fact, they just wrapped up their grand opening! To promote such an occasion, Bratty & Catty have set up a company email to answer the burning questions of all their dear customers!
