what I would give for transmasc to stop being inherently associated with softness in fandom. especially for trans headcanons to not include toning down the character or making them sweeter and more gentle.

at this point I would kill to see trans fan art that didn't manage to make me feel more dysphoric and distanced from the character ffs.

I'm begging fans to consider why they feel the need to change a character's personality when they wanna hc them as trans. search your soul a little on that. stop making it so fucking weird

#rant #trash talk #honestly. and i know a lotta people will be pissed to hear this #but i have never seen a community declaw and fetishize THEMSELVES more than online trans fandom #tell me why male characters getting reimagined as transmasc makes them less relatable to me #why do some trans people have it this ingrained in their minds that a man who started out living as a girl #can't possibly think feel or behave like a any other man?#and why the suffocating dumbed down softness specifically?#it's like they built the identity of trans maleness around the foundation of terf gender essentialism #being deadnamed and misgendered in public does not cause me the same level of nauseating skincrawling discomfort in my body and identity #as some of the soulless pacified shit i see online treated as trans positivity #and this is not about some idea of 'real men/masculinity' vs gnc men #this is very specifically about the dumbing down and infantilization of transmasculinity #with the clear attitude of transness being inherently Like That
