1910s // morgyn ember & tess dyer

In my little hc world, Tess is hundreds of years old, she was directly involved with the accidental creation of Vampires (oops) and subsequent devastation of the Realm (double oops), she took Morgyn in as a troubled teenager to train as her successor, and she lost her eyebrows in a tragic but likely hilarious potion-making accident many ages ago. She's also definitely taller than Morgyn.

EA doesn't often customize gender/sexuality settings for premades, but interestingly both Morgyn and Tess are infertile. For Morgyn, I'd assumed this was because they're either trans or intersex, but with Tess in the mix I'm starting to wonder if there might also be reproductive consequences to Untamed magic...

[about me]

i go by Astor online, i'm 17, from Romania.

i'm a trans man.

i've had EDN0S for about 5 years (also been on 3dblr for about that long lol). if i had to guess, it was probably caused by a mix of dysphoria, bullying and trauma.

i've also struggled with $h since the age of 10, same story as my 3d pretty much.

Published: May 18, 2023

Yesterday, New York Times reporter Maggie Astor published a hit piece about me in an attempt to undermine my story and the testimonies of other detransitioners. Now that I’ve had some time to process everything more completely, I’d like to address some of the inaccuracies and falsehoods that Astor wrote about me—beginning with the disingenuous title, “How a Few Stories of Regret Fuel the Push to Restrict Gender Transition Care.” 

I take issue with Astor’s flagrant use of the word “regret,” which implies a benign mistake like a bad tattoo—something I wasn’t even allowed to get until I turned 18 last year. No, I was a child when I was misinformed and misled by adults, who convinced me to permanently alter my body. 

I learned through social media when I was 11 about boys and girls being trapped in the “wrong body”—an impossibility that should never have been “affirmed” by doctors. I was told by health professionals whom I trusted that I had a medical condition that required medical treatment. Not only that, but my parents were emotionally manipulated by being presented with a false dilemma—“would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?”—despite the fact that suicidality is routinely overexaggerated in trans-identified youth.

Astor relies on the euphemism “transition care” when she means “chemical and surgical sex change services.” This is neither medically necessary nor lifesaving, but rather elective, cosmetic, and experimental.

Astor also flippantly refers to my detransition as “changing course,” implying I merely took a wrong turn instead of having doctors affirm my confusion with experimental medicine. She says I “returned to my female identity,” but being female is not an identity. It is a biological reality that describes half the human population. It is something I never stopped being despite the fact that when I was 13-15, doctors prescribed me puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgically removed my breasts to try to mold me into something that superficially resembled a boy.

Astor neglects to mention the vocal European detransitioners and how European medical societies have backed off of “gender-affirming care” after conducting systematic reviews of evidence and finding that the risks outweigh any purported benefits. She also referred to outdated statistics on detransition which include studies on adults rather than the cohort I belong to—adolescents under the “gender-affirming” model of care. These studies also had serious methodological flaws and a high loss to follow up rate.

Another statistic she likely referenced was from a study about detransitioners that specifically excluded detransitioners. Participation in the study was limited only to those who had detransitioned in the past but still identified as trans–in other words, not people like me.

If Astor had researched the topic properly, she would have discovered a recent US-based comprehensive review of medical records that found 30 percent of teens and young adults had discontinued “gender-affirming” hormones after 4 years. Another US study from this year that challenges the notion that detransition is rare found that 29 percent of youth changed their requests for hormone treatment, surgery, or both. And yet another study from a UK primary care practice found that 12.2 percent of those who had started hormonal treatments either detransitioned or documented regret, while the total of 20 percent stopped the treatments for a wider range of reasons. The authors of this study observed that the detransition rate in emerging research brings forth crucial concerns regarding the possibility of “overdiagnosis, overtreatment, or iatrogenic harm,” similar to issues encountered in other areas of medicine. 

A 2021 study found that three-quarters of detransitioners did not report their detransition to their providers, thus potentially creating a false impression that they were satisfied with the “care” they received. Norway’s health authorities confirm that detransitioners updating their providers is “not a given.”

It is not true that there are only a few vocal detransitioners in the US. Many have spoken out online, but only a few have the time to travel and testify. It’s not easy to open yourself up to an onslaught of criticism, blame, and hit pieces from the New York Times. It’s not easy to go public with details of your private life.

There have been many instances of detransitioners getting overwhelmed from the response to their story and deactivating their social media accounts. Hundreds more reside in support groups and remain anonymous, not wanting the stigma and negative attention.

Lawmakers shouldn’t have to restrict sex changes to adults, but US-based medical organizations are not doing their job at following the science. If they would conduct systematic reviews of the evidence, they would likely come to the same conclusions as European countries, which have heavily restricted medical interventions for minors and specific psychotherapy as the “first line of treatment” for teens in distress over their bodies. 

US-based guidelines ignored an entire body of research that found the majority of children who do not socially or medically transition will no longer experience gender-related distress in adulthood. Instead, most of them grow up to be gay or lesbian adults.

Pioneers of the evidence-based medicine (EBM) movement said the current guidelines for managing gender dysphoria in adolescents in the US are “untrustworthy” and not evidence-based.

Astor took a shot at me for the detransition rally I helped organize in March, but our event was exactly how I planned. My heart hurts every time I see a new detransitioner come out, but soon our numbers will be too large for the New York Times to dismiss as a “few stories of regret.”

I had a slightly unhinged thought last night about how Astor could have gotten malice top surgery scars so here i am.

But what my poor little sleepy brain imagined was Astor telling the evil egg how he wants to get top surgery and the evil egg, being possessed by Gan was like “aight. Stay still” and pulls out one of those little swords build into it. Everything goes black and next thing he knows he wakes up with the surgery done, but the scars are malice scars.

Idk where this ideea came from but it did

Dragon. My dude. That’s literally the best unhinged thought ever.

Ans it even seems logical like… We stan trans-friendly Harbinger of Destruction.

I can imagine Astor having a conversation afterwards with Kohga and Sooga, on how he got scars to this specific place, and the lads being hella supportive because they obviously are.

[sadnessisavegetable]

I am having way too much fun building my AU of Legend of Zelda lore, specifically with the Villains.

Like…Ghirahim? He’s got a slightly terrifying platonic husband who happens to be a fallen angel and a holy blacksmith. Said husband has forged Ghirahim into a sturdier shape after Ghirahim broke.

Zant? He’s got a boyfriend bodyguard that unintentionally became the Team Boyfriend for all the villains, and said bodyguard is the most competent one there. He still doesn’t know how his bodyguard became “Our Boyfriend” instead of “Zant’s Boyfriend”.

Yuga? He shows up at inconvenient times and has a pet bird that happens to like playing in paint. The bird is definitely capable of speaking coherently due to Yuga talking to it so much. And nobody knows where Yuga is or when he’ll pop in next. It’s great!

Vaati? This boy has a tendency to be intimidated by most dogs. It comes from being Minish in his case, the poor thing. And everyone EXCEPT FOR GANONDORF babies him. And he’s been color coded so aggressively into purple in the group that it’s pretty much the only color he owns from gifts.

Astor? He’s been thrown out the window. Countless times. By so many different people. In so many different ways. He’s also been demoted really hard also because Ganondorf Did Not Vibe with him attempting to sacrifice people who served him without his Express Consent and the Express Consent of those who he attempted to sacrifice.

Kohga? Man’s happily the Mom™️ of the Yiga Clan. He’s a firm believer in eating and sleeping and talking to make things feel better after trauma. He bakes really well (something something don’t trust a skinny baker) and happens to like training newbies with a lot of potential. He just also values boundaries.

Sooga? He’s a dad now. He’s got two daughters, one of which is happily in the Yiga Clan and the other of which died but sticks around like a stubborn bleach stain. I simply have him as a girl mom dad but the type who would show up to a soccer game for his kids and quietly glare daggers at the (other) soccer moms there.

Ganondorf? THE MAN IS TRANS. I LOOKED AT HIM AND DECIDED HE NEEDED TO BE TRANS. VISCERALLY GRABBED HIM IN MY MOUTH AND SHOOK HIM AROUND LIKE A SQUEAKY TOY. So. Trans Ganondorf designs to follow soon. (And also, he’s a big softy who looks terrifying, he’s adopted a Link and a Zelda in the past.)

[astronosys]

Im terribly sorry to everyone.

Because of the current bill (KOSA) being pushed for, I am going to have to be taking a break.

Our body is trans, and our online life is all we have to keep us safe. If our "parents" see this, I'm afraid it will result in our death.

I'm sorry to everyone tho cares for me but for the protection of my host and or system I won't be posting until it is safe, but I will answer dms from anyone close.

May the goddess protect us all.

Helloooo there.

I have trans Astor you have trans Astor, I can now put some of my brainrot here, I’m so happy you can’t even imagine.

WHAT IF Mipha actually did his top surgery ? She’s a sort of doctor, she comprehensive and knows well the subject (potentially. Let’s say that she knows)

Astor was aware of that so, one day, he just... Asked her.

She was really REALLY reticent at first but then she saw that he wasn’t going to hurt her and she’s just too nice to say no.

And after this little event, when he gets in a fight with Zelda and co, he just... Can’t attack her. Or not directly at least.

That’s all. I’ll just... Crawl back into my cave...✌🏻

Looking at this like

👁👁

/pos

But MMMMMM it really hit me at the end there ouCHIE.

I feel like this could end in him trying to bring her to the villains side (who dosen’t need an Evil Top Surgery doctor these days?) or being besties post-calamity (assuming he lives lmao looser). Or like you said, hurting her but not directly (hollows? Traps? Yiga?).

Honestly folks that drawing was me having a gender crisis. In other words, GOD I WISH THAT WAS ME

A story I read in the New York Times last week and why

Democrats Overhaul Party’s Primary Calendar, Upending a Political Tradition

By Katie Glueck

Published Feb. 4, 2023

This story caught my eye because it is a move that hurts progressive presidential candidates. It is newsworthy because it is a big change in how democratic presidential candidates are selected. The thing that stuck out to me the most was how the writer unquestioningly carries the provided reasoning for the change, that it was done out of respect for diversity, and does not entertain the reasonable idea that the move had anything to do with an unpopular president wanting to hold on to power. I also found it interesting that the New York Times did not seem to cover the D.N.C. refusing to vote on a ban on dark money in primaries, the second time it has refused to do so within the past five months. One thing I liked about the article is how the writer was able to mix in multiple different quotes in a condensed amount of space.

G.O.P. State Lawmakers Push a Growing Wave of Anti-Transgender Bills

By Maggie Astor

Published Jan. 25, 2023

This story caught my eye because it is something that directly impacts me. It is newsworthy because it shows how a right-wing legislative push against trans people has evolved over time. I liked the quote that the writer got from Terry Schilling, the president of one of the conservative think tanks at the forefront of pushing anti-trans ideas, admitting that the initial focus on trans kids was part of a wider plan to eliminate transition care for trans people of all ages. Activists have been saying this exact thing for a long time, but outlets like the New York Times and the Washington Post have nonetheless largely taken statements from the right at face-value as if they genuinely came from a place of concern for children. I think the article could have gone further to show how the interest groups fear mongering about critical race theory and trans people also have a direct interest in privatizing public schools and how that plays into all of this.
