the undying want to nuzzle into the crook of the neck of a guy, press my nose against them, be enveloped in their comforting smell, have them play with my hair or maybe just play some game while we talk, or don’t talk but definitely just enjoy each others presence and that we’re finally able to hold each other…

this post/account is from a gay guy about another guy.

As someone who loves trans Kim as a headcanon, it bothers me a little when people use this as basis for that reading.

I think that when discussing Kim's sexuality or his gender the intersection between them and his race is crucial. Deciding to ignoring how this exchange is about having a blatantly Seolite name is not as exciting a choice as many people think it is.

Him resenting his heritage, which his body and name betray, as a direct link to the racist violence he experiences, the death of his parents during the Revolution and what hopes they put in him when they named him, doomed to never know and to always potentially disappoint just by being who he is (a gay man, a tool for Moralintern policy, a vacholière) and that very name being also a presentation card that immediately generates expectations in the white people around him...

All the things that could be different: If I had been born in Seol, would I still be gay? How would my life be? With a different name, here, perhaps? And my parents, would they have loved me? Would I have failed them? Would I have joined the RCM? Could the commune have succeeded?

Harry is haunted by all the expectations carried by his name, he wants "one he hasn't ruined yet". This is Kim saying, yes, my name also haunts me, but it's mine like my mistakes are mine; the only way not to drive yourself insane is simply accept that you can't imagine a life you haven't lived.

At some point, I think people have to contend with the fact that misgendering isn't a completely a universally agreed upon concept in the specific sense that misgendering can be very personal.

What may be misgendering to you will not be to other trans people - even if they have the same gender as you. You may be misgendered if somebody used the wrong label to describe you (e.g., somebody calling you "girl," even if it is slang), but that does not mean that that will apply to everybody.

It's important to recognize this because so often, people will say things like, "you can't use this label/phrase/term for any trans person who is a [gender]! And if any trans person who is a [gender] uses those labels/phrases/terms, they're wrong and bad!" and that is simply too broad a generalization.

It's fine to be uncomfortable with certain things like this. It is fine if you don't want to be misgendered, and indeed, I share in that sentiment. However, that does not mean that your comforts and discomforts apply to all trans people or all trans people who share your gender. There's a difference in that, I think.
