Meat Roxy and (some) fanon June are similar in that by transitioning they became completely different characters.

I like to forget meat!Roxy is a thing. The writers completely butchered Roxy's character, seemingly out of both general incompetence and- though this thought's a bit more on the conspiratorial end- spite towards trans women. It didn't even turn out good. I really don't fucking get it. I do not understand the decision from any lens.

No shade to people who like meat!Roxy- that's not my business and I don't care, do what you want forever- but something about how comfortable Roxy was in her femininity during Homestuck proper felt so special, and the fact that the headcanon of her as a trans woman was so widely accepted and just seen as real canon was even more monumental. Roxy was an absolute icon for so many trans girls. It feels like a bit of a slap in the face for them to go so out of their way to "confirm" Roxy's birth sex, and so vigorously shoot down the notion of her being a trans girl. And they didn't even get Roxy's character right while doing it, nor did they make it interesting... It's a fucking yikes from me, dog.

If you're going to suddenly, so jarringly delegitimize such a monumental headcanon like that, at least be interesting about it. Give it some narrative intrigue. Make Dave a trans woman.
