An Essay: Trans History and Retcons Regarding IDW1 Arcee and Her Spotlight

As we've slowly learned more and deeply immersed into IDW1 Arcee's writing over the years, finding much more than just kinship to her, we felt this urge to dig further, to understand, feeling threads that were there regarding trans history, but not having much knowledge regarding historical transmedicalism, so we dug. We dug because we wanted to show that Arcee's writing from 2012-2018 not only is a beautiful trans story unique in science fiction, but that her personality there and in part in her Spotlight (which absolutely did not intend trans stuff and walked into a minefield in that regard that inadvertently opened up the opportunity for the writing and consulting team in Phase 2 and Phase 3 to figure out beautiful character arcs for her) are direct successors of the original personality frameworks for G1 Arcees, and to show the impact and legacy of both Sunbow/Marvel and IDW Arcees along with more Arcees combined on many versions of her thereafter.

Here's the introductory paragraph:

In much of the last decade, a lot of people familiar with Transformers’ trans stories appreciate Arcee being trans and her arcs in that regard from 2012 onwards. But during those six years from 2012-2018 where her narratives that firmly navigated her agency as a trans gal were being established by a number of writers, with consulting help in 2015 for Ask Vector Prime and 2018 for IDW1, there was and remains uncertainty over how exactly that works for her, specifically for her comic iteration where her transness was first hinted and then plainly stated. The variety of understandings in this regard in part originates from her introduction to the IDW1 run, Spotlight Arcee, in 2008, which was received rather turbulently because of how it portrayed her gender and transformer gals at large. Writing years after would navigate resolving this rather beautifully as showing Arcee having struggled with transmedicalism, isolation, abandonment, loneliness, and alienation, the brutality of a violent (and androcentric) world, as many trans people across gender and parallel spectrums or lacks thereof have in real life. Her story is done in a wlw trans gal context in particular. She is shown getting closure on all this, finding her happiness by the end of that continuity that would along with her story at large as a sweet, ferocious, outspoken old warrior sage help set the tone for her portrayals afterwards. Much of this overlaps with how she was described in her The Transformers Universe bio all the way back in 1986. In these regards, we (the writer of this is plural, we'll have a note about that near the end) think it is pertinent to take another look at how her story played out, what was actually written and shown vs. what was intended, to navigate transmedicalist history that overlaps with her story, and to show that Arcee’s trans iterations are directly part of the legacy of G1 Arcee overall

also a brief fact check edit regarding HRT:

we said HRT only effects hormones but realized we should fact check that, and apparently for some people HRT does effect their genes!! (this is separate from the discussion of gender journeys and epigenetics which we personally know next to nothing about) this a deeply understudied topic you can read about it here:

Thank you so much dear friend!! 💜 We're honored that you wanted to do fanart of a story of ours, we really love the illustration, the colors of sunsets are so ❤️🧡🤍💖💜 and the taganite (trans) (polygender) gals look so lovely together! The whales and pier w/ lanterns are so cute. We're also deeply moved that you shared a link for donations when we're at a particularly difficult point in our life. Thank you so much you're the best.

For those curious, this short story is both standalone and a postcanon teaser for the later portion of our idw1 fanfiction novel, Addendum (linked as the bext work in the Addendum Nexuses series) that builds on what turned out to be her beautiful and unique story and journey in canon, filling in for time periods (and our own take on the vastness of cybertronian contexts of gender variation and expansiveness that is in the spirit of transformation inherent to transformers) the comic did not get to address and seeks to make some additional arcs on closure therein in the finale. The short story is also something much lighter and more peaceful than a chapter we had struggled to write for a while, the next installment is in the works and will certainly release in the next few months (finishing our One fanfiction first to release a surprise that wouldn't be possible without having worked on that novel an a completed earthspark fanfiction). For people who want to read about our perspective on idw1 arcee canon specifically including comparison with real trans history of trans people surviving transmedicalism and elucidating that gender expansive understandings and pre-20th centurh terms used by gender expansive people themselves (some still in use today) are in fact a very old part of gender history, you can read our essay at our website (reads better on a computer than mobile rn).

i made this art for @pluralsword (also on Neocities!) of xeir fic Resolving Hope! if you got a little cash to spare, maybe consider throwing a few bones her way at her Kofi! Xey're a talented writer/sword lesbian who focuses on hope and reconciliation and gender expansiveness, and she's also just the loveliest. if you want to support a wonderful trans system in need and xeir work, here you go!

Hey you do have fankid two? Breldon and JennyVage? Plz

you know i don't really think i've thought about what it would be like if they had a kid but i'm curious so here's what i can think of off the top of my head! not complete thoughts but just.....somethings

for brad and sheldon's kid

i think they both wanted kids in theory but in practice by the time they were old enough they were like "actually maybe i don't want that". brad doesn't feel responsible enough and sheldon never saw himself having kids that weren't also robots

i feel like that would all change though as they aged and i can see an escapade (probably early to mid 30s) where they somehow end up accidentally/impulsively adopting a kid and now have to navigate parenthood

i can see them specifically adopting a daughter who reflects both of their personal insecurities from youth (namely, being socially stunted and exhibiting complete geek behavior). intelligent but under-performs in school because she doesn't really put her whole self into it. probably into some alternative fashion of whatever sort (go nuts). probably starting her freshman year of high school, if not maybe a late middle schooler

mild hc where sheldon and brad are both fairly baby-faced and thus occasionally get mistaken either for their daughter's brothers or even high school peers. none of the involved parties are happy about this

the daughter probably isn't a fan of having two young and bumbling fathers but at the same time their younger age helps them understand and empathize with their daughter since they remember easier what it was like being their daughter's age

for jenny and vega's kid

they're probably both emotionally in their 30s by the time they decide on children

baby parts comes fresh from the factory (a la robots 2005) and they build the kid at home. i can see the kid being either (or neither) gender, doesn't really matter

jenny and vega probably got into a bit of a disagreement on how the kid would be built in regards to offensive capability. jenny was built to be a protector of earth and she doesn't want her child to be that way too, but vega thinks (given his grandma vexus is kind of batshit evil) the kid should at least have something in case of emergency. they settle on making the kid a defensive unit

another contentious point is where to raise the baby: earth or cluster prime. i think they decide to start on cluster prime for academics but allow the kid some time on earth as well to acclimate with humans. when the kid eventually grows up, jenny and vega agree they'd let the child decide if they want to attend higher education (i.e. high school) on cluster prime or on earth, based on what environment they prefer

the kid is probably a complete sweetheart, heart of gold instilled by being the byproduct of cluster prime's leader and earth's knight. the epitome of the child whose one wish with a genie would be world peace. the other two wishes would be dino-shaped lug-nuggets (get it. like lug-nut nuggets) and a skateboard. "but you can fly!" one might ask. but can you do a sick kickflip if you're just plain ol' flying? didn't think so
