Broke: the mercs can't be trans, it's the 60s
Woke: queer people have existed since the dawn of time, some of them could be trans
Bespoke: THEY'RE ALL TRANS!!! (evil laughter)

had my first kiss a few days ago . it was 11 pm in a hidden garden in her backyard after it was raining . she grabbed my hand and ran to that corner and it smelt like fresh air and wet grass . held my face and kept on kissing me and i kept on clinging onto her and the sound of her voice and her words on her lips is something i want to drink everyday . she helped me climb onto a stack of throwaway bricks because im quite the bit shorter than her and i didnt want her back to hurt . i dont think i ever want to stop being in love with her chat im cooked

Grateful every day that mother is into the more leftist articles and podcasts and ways of thinking cause. What if I made fun of those maga Australians and she got mad at me. That is a fucked up and evil alternate dimension.

there is no universal accessibility. there is no one-size-fits-all.
as a genderqueer person, i'd be over the moon if someone looked at my presentation and stumbled or asked what my pronouns are. there are gnc people, trans and cis, who don't present or perform gender in a way that makes it 'obvious' what they are 'going for'. for me, that pause, however performative, is validating and affirming. for me, as a genderqueer person, presentation anarchy and public acceptance of gender nonconformity is comforting.
and on the other hand, i know trans women who are understandably frustrated at people ignoring cues in wardrobe and makeup and opting to degender them. being degendered or misgendered because cues are being missed or ignored is an awful feeling, and this is especially a problem that trans women and other trans fems face.
we've cultivated these protocols that are polite in specific circles that i genuinely believe are used in good faith most of the time, but that doesn't stop them from mimicing bigotry.
i have no answer. ask for my pronouns and don't ask my trans sisters for theirs. there isn't a nice answer.

trans characters in idol stuff are... not fun usually. like either the fanbase is transphobic and ppl make up excuses as to why theyre not actually trans (literally seen a LOT of ppl from a... certain fanbase say a trans character isnt actually trans bc she lives in japan. like... HUH???), OR the english translation is transphobic (...proseka trying to make mizuki seem like shes a crossdressing boy even tho her friends all v clearly see her as female). not to mention the original text usually being some kind of transphobic or just a lil ignorant, writer changes dragging trans characters down etc...
