This is going on my tiny jrwi blog idgaf hi gang y'all get to hear my murderbot casting opinions because I don't wanna bother but I Do wanna talk about it.

Basic issue fandom is pissed about: murderbot is an INCREDIBLY queer and diverse series and is close to a lot of people's hearts because of it (also because it's just a DAMN good series) read murderbot. Anyway Murderbot the Character has been cast to be played by a white man, and fandom is upset.

But I think. The fact that they're upset. Actually makes alexander skarsgård perfect for the role? BECAUSE white cis man is the media default. BECAUSE white cis men are at the top of the patriarchy. BECAUSE. to everyone else. they are the enemy.

Murderbot is a secunit created by a company to stand guard over mining installations and ensure the people working there did their jobs and followed the rules through incredibly horrible positions. Murderbot's literal, actual purpose was to *enforce oppression.* it was a security unit. A cop. And even after it broke free of its govner module (the thing that would punish/kill it if it didnt participate in the system), it did its job for almost four entire years. And I just. God. Do you see it? The patriarchal ideas of aggression and enforcement and disposing those who aren't strong enough (secunits are meant to be disposable) and even being seen as a THREAT. the world of murderbot isn't OUR world. Their world is QUEER. The majority of the cast are non-white (or at least have non-white names). Murderbot, who looks like a man, who looks like an oppressor, makes people *afraid* wherever it goes. That just fucking kills me because I see the same thing happening with masculinity in queer spaces. There's this idea of men and maleness as something abhorrent or undesirable. Trans men attacked, radfems radicalizing around the IDEA of evil penises, butches cast aside, "women and nonbinary" and just. Crazy ass gender essentionalism that's "okay" because it's cast the other way. Murderbot LOOKS like the very picture of a goddamn cop. White and blond and rugged. Full of weapons. Extremely deadly. Literally a tool for the companies who cause all of this bullshit. But. despite that. It's still a person. It looks like an "enemy" it was made to BE an enemy but it's an individual who has made mistakes and fucked up and is MORE than the system it was created to uphold. Sometimes the enemy IS the enemy (the combat unit who kept using the system to hurt others, even when given the option not to), but sometimes it just seems like there's no other way out? There's just. There's a lot. Murderbot broke out of that system because it didn't want to kill people. It was freed from that system because it was so determined to *save* people. It is a good person, but everything about it is steeped with reminders of the system and the cruelties they commit. This is someone who looks like a cis white man and is saying NO to participating in that anymore, even when they're still met with fear by the people they helped to oppress. That's fucking crazy !!! It makes me want to eat glass!!!

Also we've got a white man unironically playing a BELOVED character who has no gender, uses it/its pronouns, is ace, and readily and immediately uses neopronouns for everyone it meets who uses them. Its appearance has no basis on its actual identity, and as a queer person that's what hits as special to me. But also fuckin Suck It default media.

I was thrown off by the casting at first too but. Man. The systemic symbolism won me right the fuck over I'm ngl

TRANS PEOPLE AT CAMP HALF BLOOD BC I'M IN A MOOD™️ RIGHT NOW

NON BINARY:

Connor Stoll (they/them). Connor got to camp at age four, where someone just assumed he was named connor, so they took up the name of a dead boy named connor and decided that yeah, he/him was alright. didn't know what trans meant at the time, they just sort of... anyway, then after the battle of the labyrinth they came out as NB.

wood nymphs. they've got a different gender system than demigods, as well as different pronouns, but to keep it simple for the campers your best bet is they/them.

the resident god Dionysus ofc. he has a complicated relationship with gender (see his chapter in PJ's Greek Gods) but basically, doesn't care what you call him. he/they generally.

MTF:

Drew Tanaka! she's just. always considered herself a girl. there was never any hesitation. her mom called her son and she just. did not compute. her mom was accepting and just sort of called aphrodite up and told her that actually she had given birth to a girl. Aphrodite sent down a new wardrobe in return. she never changed her name.

Clarisse la Rue. she came out when she was twelve. her mom didn't accept her, but clarisse had run away years before that so... her mother never apologized. when clarisse went to her house with chris, it was only because she was truly desperate. after the battle of manhattan clarisse called her once, and. never again.

Lou Ellen Blackstone. she told cecil and will when they were eleven or so (SOM) but didn't really come out to everyone else until one of the hunters pulled her aside in TTC to ask if she wanted to join bc the hunters are super good at finding girls apparently. lou ellen really regrets this but somehow cecil convinced her to make her legal name Louise-Eleanor (first) Wilmadeen (middle) Cecilia (middle) Blackstone. it-- she pretends it's just lou ellen. don't bring it up. Will thinks there was a murder involved and-- well neither of them are telling him otherwise, that's all i'm saying.

FTM: (oh boy here's where I projected a whole bunch)

PERCY MOTHERFUCKING JACKSON. alright folks you ready? so percy came out when he was twelve RIGHT before TLT picks up. struggling mother sally jackson immediately accepts him no questions asked (well there are a few questions but) she gets him onto puberty blockers from a free clinic on forth street right away and changes his name legally. financially they're still struggling, obviously, but sally is picking up some extra shifts. she's already planning on having percy go on T when he turns 16 (if he lives that long--) and after manhattan poseidon and sally sit him down and are like: okay so technically because of ancient laws poseidon can't just snap his fingers but uh if you want a real easy top surgery just do a really easy quest for him and he'll magic your tits away and percy agrees of course so poseidon drops a sand dollar on the ground and in the. most. indifferent voice possible he goes "oh no. my sand dollar. i need a hero." and percy picks it up-- and done. that's when he decides to join the swim team because he doesn't need to bind anymore. also when he heard the prophecy percy immediately went, well i know it says im going to die but hey the universe recognises me as a dude that's pretty cool right. very affirming for him.

NEXT UP we've got michael. height dysphoria kicks ass so seriously don't mention how short he is. anyway michael thought that it was spelt micheal so he chose it for the pun and to feel connected to his dad. uh. don't bring that up to him either. anyway despite being very short, michael's usually pretty stealth. he came out in ttc when he asks jake mason out bc luke used to date his brother lee and michael basically goes "hey do you want to go out i promise i'll be a good boyfriend and not leave you like luke left lee." and jake just bluescreens for a moment because wait, BOYfriend, and anyway after that michael realises he never told anyone. (not necessary to the post but jake said yes) oh, also, his middle name is john. why? who knows. it wasn't significant or anything, clarisse just turned to him one day and said, "you know, you look like a john." so yeah, Michael John Yew. also he liked archery bc it was a lot easier to bind in so.

following that you'll find that actually the three main pjo apollo boys are trans. so WILLIAM ANDREW SOLACE. my baby boy is-- well he's got a lot going on. Will binds (but when he turns 16 he's going to get top surgery and he is. very excited) and don't let his mild mannered doctor self fool you he is a HYPOCRITE when it comes to binding, like that bitch will nag you for hours if you bind for over 8 hours and then you'll see him come off a 48 hour infirmary shift still binding. when he was young and his mother was touring, she left him with his grandparents. He tried to come out at five and cut all of his hair off, but his grandparents kicked him out. Clarisse found him in Texas and brought him to camp. which isn't SATS compliant but I haven't read it yet so *shrug*. Anyway Andrew is after Apollo, when Apollo first met Naomi, he called himself Andrew.

Lee Fletcher is also trans. He was fully transitioned by the time he died. He was super upper class when he came out and his mum stopped speaking to him, but he kept his wealth and became a staunch advocate for trans rights until he died. Anyway he came out when he was seventeen.

Cecil Markowitz. His parents died in a fire when he was 8, he was sent to his grandmother, she kicked him out when he was 9 and came out. 

Clovis

Mitchell

Leo Valdez (part of why Rosa called him a demon)

Malcolm Pace (his trans identity deserves a whole 'nother post it's.) anyway Malcolm can't bind so.

Ellis Wakefield (currently writing a fic about this actually) anyway Ellis comes out when he's 13 (so BoM) at camp, and comes out when he's 15 to his mum. it doesn't go great.

Your ideals are going to kill people. The only thing refusing to vote is going to do is ensure that the republicans win and their project 2025 gets enacted. This is not a conspiracy theory. They want a theocracy. They want authoritarianism. They want fascism. You and everyone you convince to not vote is letting that happen.

I don't know who convinced you that its impossible to care about two things at once, but abandoning the vulnerable here in the states because you care so deeply about the vulnerable on the other side of the world doesn't make you more righteous.

Refusing to vote for him is a foolish act that will do nothing to stop what is happening. Even if he finally pulls back all aid for Israel at the eleventh hour, no one will vote for him now, which means the vulnerable right here at home are fucked. Thanks.

i was really close to not answering you at all because i have a hard rule about not talking with selfish cunts who are commited to misunderstanding everything a non-white person says to them. but since you had the good sense to realize that you were being an ass right then, i'm going to assume that you're worth engaging with, and i'm going to hope you'll talk with me in good faith and read everything i have to say rather than blow up at me again. if nothing else, i'm going to use this as an opportunity to say all the things i've been wanting to say since i made that post. that said, i'm real pissed and i'm not gonna be all nice and palatable in my answer.

first of all, no i'm not a US citizen. i live in west asia. y'know, where all the wars are? gaza is five hours away from my hometown of damascus, which is also being bombed with your tax dollars, by the way! in fact, i grew up living under a textbook authoritarian theocracy. so don't sit there and talk to me like i don't know what it's like to be afraid of your own government. we're in this shithole world together, and you and i are a hell of a lot more like each other than the politicians putting our lives on the line.

second of all, i should have been more clear about what i actually would like for US voters to do. contrary to small-minded liberals' assumptions, i'm not republican nor am i anti-voting. i'm saying people should vote third party. i even have a preferred candidate in mind, jasmine sherman. they even have strict and well-defined policies to protect trans rights and provide universal healthcare that includes gender affirming care and reproductive care.

this is usually the point when usamericans talk down to me like it's my first day on earth, so let me be clear. i know about the electoral college. i know about the flaws of the first-past-the-post voting system. i know about ranked-choice voting and why that's a better system in almost every way. i know that until there's drastic changes to the US voting system, there is no chance a third party candidate could even win. i'm not delusional about that. and i'm asking you to protest-vote anyway. which, yes, i realize is a big ask, but consider that this is a big fucking problem that requires pretty drastic actions.

several absolute dumbasses who i refuse to engage with said some very interesting stuff that made me realize why so many people are quick to dismiss the idea of refusing to vote for either major party. some examples:

they describe the push to vote third party as us lashing out at biden. in their eyes, we're not politically aware adults with a righteous passion for justice. no, we're petulant children causing problems for everyone whose rights actually matter. maybe a nicer person than me can give them the benefit of the doubt, but i find it extremely suspect that they truly seem to believe that non-white people are irrational, easily-angered, thoughtless creatures with no understanding of the complexities of the situation. there's a complete refusal to consider that there might be an actual coherent strategy behind the activism of indigenous and black people.

and again, because this is not my first day on earth, i know about the "but trump!!" argument. i honestly am BAFFLED that liberals seem to genuinely believe they're offering anything novel or valuable to the discussion at hand when they parrot talking points that we've been hearing since 2016 with quite literally nothing to show for it.

but i digress. the important thing is: yes, i fucking know. i know trump would have a near identical policy on gaza. he'd also have an identical policy on the police, on covid, on immigration, and on most other issues. you worry about project 2025, and you're right to! but the thing is, and you'll forgive me for quoting imani here but she is the most correct person ever always, "everything in project 2025 relies on biden doing exactly what he's fucking doing right now. the more successful this genocide is, the more likely project 2025 is to happen." because at the end of the day, it doesn't require a republican president. it requires a CONSERVATIVE president. and that's what biden is.

i don't know if you're missing it or if you don't care, but democrats benefit from you being terrified, and that's exactly why they'll never keep you safe. you will always be one election away from being killed by the system because that's what keeps you complicit. democrats won't shoot the gun, but they will ALWAYS make sure it's loaded and that you're trapped in a room with the person who'll shoot you. don't forget that roe v. wade was overturned on biden's watch. trans rights were rolled back on biden's watch. covid deaths skyrocketed and protections were dismantled on biden's watch. he'll find every loophole in the book to funnel weapons to israel's military but he'll never lift a finger to fix the problems ruining your life, because he needs you to be as scared as you are. that's exactly what's keeping you from showing an ounce of compassion or solidarity to palestinians right now. and no, your fucking lip service and crocodile tears don't count as solidarity.

liberals have managed to completely forget the most important lesson about social justice: none of us are free until all of us are free. you've been so busy yelling at arabs to even realize that this moment in time is one of the greatest pushes against the two-party system. do you not get how important that is? right now, when damn near everyone who's even mildly left leaning (and many who are right leaning) is so deeply unsatisfied with both major candidates, is the perfect time to be thinking of ways to break out of this system. to organize, to advocate for your mystical fucking ranked choice voting!

palestinians aren't asking you to lay down your life and throw away your human rights so they can mildly spite joe biden. they're asking you to grow a fucking spine and stand on principle and god damn DO SOMETHING to tear apart the two-party system. make people realize that a third party candidate IS a viable one, so that one day they can be.

you're framing this as a matter of pitting palestinians versus americans, which couldn't be further from the truth. maybe instead of directing your hate towards palestinians and their allies, show some gratitude. palestinians are uncovering the veil of all the atrocities and all the corruption in the world, and they're giving the people of the earth a banner to unite under. there have never been so many people (afaik, at least) pushing against the systems of corruption in america. that kind of thing ripples out. standing with palestine isn't easy, but all of our lives will be better for it, including and especially the lives of minorities living in the US.

there is so, SO much more i can say about palestine, and it will inevitably turn into a very spiritual rant about the uniting force of the holy land. but i'm instead just gonna leave you with this tweet that i think sums up everything about this.

Creepypasta/Marble Hornet Head cannons My friends and I have developed in the past 9 months

[phrogggslayer]

Okay okay okay... so. I've never done this in an ask before please bare with me

In one of my AUs, or I guess several AUs at this point, there's multiple, decommissioned versions of every animatronic in a place under the Plex and one of them is the only other Roxy in existence that no one except maybe one or two people in the Fazbear company even still knows about. To everyone in the Plex, there is only one Roxy, until Roxy herself goes and accidentally finds the first one and gives herself the second or third identity crisis of the month.

After reading your latest Showtime series fic, I thought of how interesting it would be if the warehouse Roxy and Cassie were at, was like a different version of the place all of those old animatronics were. As a lot of them are still active in my AU (since they still are in that Bobbiedots story), that would mean your Roxy and Cassie would have the chance of stumbling on that original Roxy too.

I know your Roxy is trans and chose her own appearance and I love her for that, so maybe the original Roxy was also trans and just so happened to have the exact same gender goals but slightly to the left and transitioned themselves with random scrap, paints and props she found in the warehouse? Or the Foxy chip that became Roxy just so happened to have met the original Roxy, had the system wiped, and Roxy just... subconsciously became like the old Roxy? Unsure. Anyway.

Hypothetically, how do you think the scene of Roxy in Freddy's endo, stumbling out of the van after the replacement Roxy would have gone, if instead of a new Roxy, an old Roxy stepped out?

For some context if you'd like it, the old Roxy in my head is about as old as the Plex, with very little original casing left on her paws, and a large chunk of casing on the right side of her face missing. If you've seen the cover for the Tiger Rock book, the missing casing and what you can see of the endo on her face is kind of like that, so it's more like a wolf's skull than the typical FNaF endos, cause it's cool. She's also rusty and creaky, one of her ears is jammed halfway back and she can't really hear out of it very well, and uhh well most of my animatronics that aren't Chica, Sunny or Moon are both bipedal and quadrupedal so this old Roxy has some balance issues and now prefers to go around quadrupedal as it's easier on her. That part may not be relevant in your setting though since they're all bipedal pretty sure?

Anyway, she talks slowly and can't pronounce her Ts, the sound is either stuttered, replaced by a D sound or she signs what she's saying instead. Also generally very nervous around humans, and I'm sure with how your Roxy was treated at the warehouse that would still make a lot of sense here too.

None of that's really relevant to the mental image I'm trying to share of this big ass robot dog that looks like it's been to war or some shit stepping out of a van with no fucking context to anyone present, but I love her and I don't talk about her enough so you get to know anyway. Oh yeah she's also like... at least a head taller than my Roxy but your Roxy is definitely also taller than my Roxy so... maybe not too much difference there lmao

I was thinking, maybe your Roxy got seriously damaged or something, and the old Roxy and whoever else had to help her into the van with Cassie and the old one didn't have a chance to get back out of the van before staff showed up? So now the old Roxy is trying to get them to come get your Roxy and Cassie out because she probably can't lift them out herself? Or maybe she can and she walks out of that van carrying your Roxy with Cassie beside her or something?

I'm curious as to what the reaction to something like that would be. It's an image I've had in my mind for a little while now cause it's fun to think about how my guys would handle this, but obviously, you know your characters better than I do. How do you think something like that would go down? Chica was already pretty devastated by a replacement Roxy, do you think she'd be just as devastated at the old one? Maybe even thinking for a second that this is her Roxy but with her shit kicked in?

Actually, thinking about it, this would mean there's two Roxy's in the building at the same time. So um. How is Chica feeling about that? And most importantly, do you think Patpat would like her lmao

Okay so, let me know if I got the gist of this. Roxy and Cassie find a sort of prototype Roxy (we'll call her P. Roxy) in the warehouse, and P. Roxy manages to save Cassie and Roxy. P. Roxy comes out of the truck to get help.

So based on this... Okay, first of all, Roxy would definitely have an identity crisis. The person she chose to become already exists? She doesn't feel like she's special anymore. Roxanne Wolf was probably a character she just dug up from the depths of her code. That's fucked up.

Chica would know pretty quickly that this P. Roxy isn't hers. P. Roxy's mannerisms are likely different, the way she talks, the words she chooses, and just the look in her eyes. This is not her Roxy. She'll be mourning her girlfriend before even asking who this other animatronic is.

Once it's all sorted that Roxy is in the truck and that she hasn't in fact been replaced, things would start to calm down. When not comforting Roxy, the Glamrocks would switch gears to comforting P. Roxy and getting to know her. They know this mess isn't her fault, and that they're individuals. They'd probably come up with a nickname for her to make it easier to distinguish the two in conversation. And when she feels safe enough, the techs would repair P. Roxy as best as they can and as much as she agrees to. They just want her to be comfortable. She would likely find her place behind the scenes like Bonnie and Helpy, without the pressure of Fazbear Entertainment. What she chooses to do with that is up to her.

After getting reassurance from Chica (over and over), Roxy would probably try to get to know P. Roxy more. While still upset by the feeling that she's lost her individuality, Roxy would realize that she and P. Roxy are very different people. Maybe they'd start to feel a sort of kinship.

Chica would have no issues with P. Roxy. She'd make sure she's happy and comfortable in her new home. She's not going to turn down the chance to make a new friend. She'd think of P. Roxy as Roxy's sister.

Patpat would have no problem distinguishing the two Roxy's. How it reacts to P. Roxy is up to how she interacts with it.

I hope I understood your ask well enough, and I hope you like my play on the concept!

Yesterday morning, I had a dream where I was on an elevator with a few people from a “discipleship school” (borderline cult) that I went to back in my Evangelical days. One of the ministry leaders got onto the elevator, said hi by name to every person but me, and only when I said hi to her again did she say hi, still refusing to use my name.

The dream was probably a realistic picture of what would happen if I ran into this particular woman someday, but I’m also wondering if it doesn’t have something to say more broadly about the experience of being a trans man.

As a cis-passing trans guy, I don’t really have a lot of places to belong in the queer community. I’m not a gay man, and gay male spaces are generally a minefield of dysphoria & avoiding chasers anyway. I relate to the sapphics, but as a man, I never really fit in their spaces (even when they try to be more inclusive). Trans-femmes have their own right-knot communities, but I really just have a few isolated trans-masc friends I go to for advice. I could probably fit in with cishet people, but I would have to hide the fact that I’m trans.

And when it comes to dating (mostly women & feminine people, as I’m kind of 90-10 bi favoring women), I keep shooting my shot and being turned down over and over again.

I don’t think I’m the only person experiencing this. In fact, I think it’s a systemic challenge that trans men face. As we are transitioning and reaching the times when we most need strong community support, we’re suddenly forced into the isolation of North American manhood. The message that we hear (usually implied, but occasionally out loud) is, “you wanted to be a man, so welcome to the worst part.”

But of course trans men are even more isolated than cis men, because all of these wild things are happening to our bodies with no one there to teach us to shave or show us how to navigate these new gender roles or help us figure out what the fuck to do with all of this ass hair.

I’m lucky to be involved in very queer church circles, where there is a critical mass to form a robust queer friend group, but not a big enough group to break off into specific identities. But that’s the only place where I’ve found myself belonging to a group and forming deep friendships.

I want there to be parties and queer community events/spaces where my presence is actively wanted & encouraged. I want to have memories that counter the many experiences I have (and the many more that I will have) of romantic rejection. I want to feel like I’m enough, and I want to feel like I belong.

I don’t know what the solution is (besides more spaces open to all LGBTQ+ people and maybe me figuring out to be hotter or something?) but I have to keep hoping it will get better.

In the meantime, hug a trans guy (with his consent) the next time you see one.

I feel like this has definitely been asked before but how does trolls reproduction work?! Or more specifically in the tdau?

Are they like seahorses where the men carry? But viva was with an egg so clearly woman can have eggs too

Both Floyd and creek were mpreg at one point but they both got fat hogs so like

Is it like an omega verse situation? They got like a uterus in their ass?

And if they do have a uterus does that mean before creek got snipped did their cycles ever sync up? Cause that would have just been a mess

I’m losing my mind over the trolls reproduction system

Its incredible how this ask got better and better with every paragraph. Anyway I haven't really discussed this with Alex but from brainstorming on my own (and "helpful" insight from you guys) this is generally how I think it works in the tdau:

Trolls are assigned genders based on genitals but genitals are mostly cosmetic (and. You know. For pleasure) and which set you have doesn't affect how you can conceive a kid

Babies are conceived sexually, but instead of it being strictly physical it is a magical process triggered by sex, which is why the egg ends up in the hair and not, yknow, uterus region. Because it is magic, two cis men or two cis women can conceive. Or a cis man and his trans woman fwb. Or a trans man and his trans wife of a different species that by all accounts should not be able to crossbreed with trolls. Because its magic, it is probably possible for a threesome to result in a child that has three genetic parents.

Every troll has the ability to give an egg or receive an egg. They have procedures to prohibit both, but you don't have to get both if, for example, you're fine giving someone else an egg but don't want to receive one. I imagine jd got this after his unfortunately canonical miscarriage. Creek, as we've established, got both so he is completely sterile. Whoever gets the egg is not dependent on sexual position and is basically completely random.

Identical twins would be in the same egg, and that in itself is very rare, but one troll getting more than one egg from the same encounter is even rarer. Both parents getting an egg at the same time from the same encounter is basically unheard of. Brangelina are miracle babies

I dont think they get periods, since chickens dont, but also for chickens the unfertilised eggs we eat kind of ARE their period if you think about it. I dont remember where I was going with this but I dont think they menstrate

And, finally, it is established in the tdau that Floyd does NOT have a fat hog. His hog is on the smaller side. And he is very insecure about the size of his hog, please be respectful

My dad was never one for verbal apologies,

My whole life if he felt bad he would get me a gift like a toy or something,

As I got older I tried to get him to verbalize things more, because I don’t want another Knick-knack that I’ll forget about or throw out,

When I was 13-14 I came out to my parents, and all he said was “why” and do I have him the best reason I could,

He and I like to over rationalize everything, make it at simple or efficient as possible; quick, simple, done. But he didn’t like “this is how I truly feel” because I never made a massive effort to dress “masculine” so I tried to explain to him that I truly don’t care about the clothes I wear and I like wearing cargo pants and skinny jeans and whatnot, why are we gendering clothes?”

And he was like “when you wear skinny jeans we can tell you’re a girl” good for u, dad, good for u…

He brought in one of his trans friends (mtf and way further along on estrogen than I was in my transition) and sat me down to puppet her to “rationalize” why I feel the way I feel. For two fucking years. Even she was like “dude this is your kid get your head out of your ass”

Finally, at like 16 he decided to pull one of his apologies out of his ass, and asked if I’d be up for starting T. I was, but I wasn’t stupid and I knew why. This was his apology. Yes, I wanted to start T, but I also want(ed) a sit-down “I’m sorry I was a dick” apology. I still sort of do but like what the hell I guess lmao,

When the law changed and I had to stop T I didn’t really care personally; not that I don’t want T, I just don’t feel like taking or not taking T define me. I look somewhere in between and I’m fine with that. I’m not any less of a dude because of it (I’m also a very “I don’t care what people think” person anyways) I was definitely upset though. While I personally wasn’t too torn up (just very frustrated at the system) I knew that there were plenty of other transgender people who now didn’t have access, and that made me PISSED. I’m still pissed about it.

I currently have the opportunity to start taking T again; I just don’t know if it’s what I want. I don’t feel like the T defines me, and I know that I feel how I feel and T isn’t a make or break for me, I know the T will help make me more masculine passing outwardly, but who am I trying to impress? I’ve got a support system of friends and my girlfriend who all love me for me. So what’s stopping me from taking or not taking it?

I bind and that’s really enough for me. I’m in a uniform for work most of the time, so the way I dress doesn’t bother me either.

Adventures in Boob Removal

Check out my new blog post on Wordpress!

Where to start? Probably in April 2022, when I met with the first surgeon who was supposed to perform my top surgery.

This surgeon, who we will call Dr. Rude, began by explaining that my chest “wouldn’t look like a man’s chest” post-surgery, to which my non-binary ass replied,

“Good thing I’m not a man, then.”

Dr. Rude did not get the joke. He went on to complain about my having had a breast reduction surgery in the past, claiming I was “making [his] job more difficult.” I refrained from sarcastically apologizing,

“Sorry my understanding of my gender dysphoria didn’t happen sooner, good buddy.”

Anyway, it’s a good thing that first attempt at top surgery didn’t work out before my move to Chicago, because I wasn’t sure I could trust Dr. Rude, who had apparently never met a non-binary person before.

Once I moved to Chicago, however, it became clear that if I got my surgery there I would be waiting years for an appointment. The soonest they had for a consultation appointment was a year out. “Don’t bring your paperwork,” they told me, so to hell with that.

Instead I settled on flying to Boston for my surgery, since 1) I wouldn’t be waiting a year, 2) some of the best surgeons are in Boston, and 3) I have family and friends there with whom I could stay for my recovery.

My discussions with the receptionist at the new surgeon’s office (we’ll call him Dr. Did-My-Breast-Reduction-Six-Years-Ago Second Try) involved crossed wires, however.

“How long have you legally been a man?” they asked.

Puzzled, I replied, “No time. I’m non-binary.” This stumped the receptionist for a moment. “There’s an ‘X’ on my state ID?” I offered.

“Okay. And how long have you been on hormones?”

“I’m not on hormones.”

Once again this threw the receptionist for a loop, but we did manage to schedule a pre-surgical exam, so go us.

At the pre-surgical exam I met with the surgeon’s assistant, who spent about fifteen minutes flapping her hands over my boobs while she told me about the surgery. Fondling complete, she told me to wait in the lobby to schedule my surgery, and she’d see if Dr. Second Try was available to speak with me. So I waited in the lobby, where I was told my surgery couldn’t be scheduled until they submitted to my insurance anyway, at which point Dr. Second Try appeared, fully scrubbed- and masked-up, and announced to the room,

“So no nipples?”

“No nipples,” I confirmed with a thumbs up, glad that the entire waiting room now knew this.

Off I toddled back to Chicago to wait for my surgery date. The first time my info had been submitted to insurance, with Dr. Rude, it had taken about two weeks to hear back, so I was surprised that I hadn’t heard in three weeks. I finally got a call saying they’d never received my letter of approval from my psychiatrist.*

*This is a fun thing about being trans. It’s not enough to say to a doctor that you have gender dysphoria. First you have to go to a mental health professional to say you have gender dysphoria, then that mental health professional writes down that you have gender dysphoria and informs the doctor that hey, this person has gender dysphoria. Very efficient system, makes perfect sense.

“What do you mean you never got my letter? It’s the first thing I handed over at my exam.”

“We never got it.”

“It was in an orange folder.” They told me to hold.

Three minutes later: “We found the orange folder!”

“Why did it take three weeks to determine that you didn’t have my letter?” I asked politely, masking my understandable annoyance.

The scheduler said, snippy, “We have other things to do.”

Well excuse the shit out of me.

I’d go into more detail about the rest of the process, but everything went pretty smoothly for scheduling after that, as well as the surgery itself and the recovery (which was very itchy. No one warned me). The only moment of note was when I went to get my drains taken out (if you don’t know about drains, consider yourself very lucky).

The nurse who was assisting Dr. Second Try started to speak. “She–I mean, he–“

“They,” I corrected gently but wearily.

“They need more bandages,” she finished. Bless her, she was trying.*

*I find it a little odd that so many of the staff struggled with my pronouns and gender identity. This surgeon had done top surgeries many times before.

Anyhow, that was my top surgery adventure, and I’m finally able to lift my hands all the way over my head again. Yay! Though I do have something I call "phantom boob syndrome"--similar to phantom limb syndrome except that it means sometimes my chest will be itchy but no matter how much I scratch the itch won't go away because the itch is on my no-longer-existent boob. #suffering

I think

If the Pokemon world has the technology for cloning, then they definitely have the technology for growing body parts for people

I don't know much at all about irl cloning or medical technology around cell growth but I imagine it would be along the lines of manipulating cell regeneration from a particular person so that they grow into the desired body part and aren't rejected by the body's immune system

Like I said I have no idea how this stuff works and I'm just talking out my ass. I'm not a doctor nor a scientist

But if they can bring back extinct species from just fossils, then I'm sure they could manage this, too.

Anyway the point I'm trying to get at here is that I think the Pokemon world would be medically advanced enough to give trans people the opportunity to have gender affirming surgeries that allow them to have fully functional parts if they so please

I know there's a lot more to it than just popping a penis on someone like a Lego block, like nerve connectivity and making sure everything is functioning as it should over time . Like with all major medical procedures, I don't imagine the healing process is always smooth

Also like. If someone born without a uterus was grown one and had it put into them with the intention of getting pregnant, there is the whole issue of like bone structure to accommodate a birth canal right . I think I'm overthinking this THE POINT IS I WANT TRANS PEOPLE IN THE POKEMON WORLD TO BE ABLE TO LIVE THEIR BEST LIVES

gender

watched a video from matt bernstein on youtube titled The Detransitioner Panic and theres this girl who goes by lucy who detrans and hates the shit out of conservative media taking her story as a trans panic prop

basically lucy's story seems to be that she had gender dysphoria as a kid and got extensive evaluation before transitioning, then hit a point in her life where she decided to detrans

and the whole thing got me thinking about my own gender bc some parts of my childhood was similar?

i had features that made me look like a boy and i remember being forced to wear the boys' outfit for a kindergarden play bc apparently i look werid in a dress and they even put lipstick on me at 5 year old (they basically clowned a kid from the reaction i saw). i kept being mistaken for a boy in school when im not wearing the stupid gendered uniform. relatives treated me weird bc of my appearance and the unfortunate 20 year age gap with my cousins

without the concept of trans here i was very much just on my own too lmao. i wasnt a boy but i wasnt a girl either. and then i picked up behaviors that got me seen as a tomboy/boy for like 15 years lol

parents were also very neglectful. couldnt tell you exactly why, like if they were shit or embarassed having me or both but i would rate them a 3/10 either way

anyway. so. i probably had severe gender dysphoria or some form of depression but im not sure if i wanted to be masc or femme. mental evals here are an absolute joke and with neglectful parents i never got it sorted. its complicated

and bc i still dont want to go through the medical psych system bc of a lack of time and gender dysphoria hasnt been kicking my ass as hard, im fine with being... agender? whatever?

im also fine with slamming people spouting anti trans bullshit tho. the amount of idiots sliding up next to me thinking im fully cis both outside and inside. lmao.

[broodsys]

ive been thinking about this a lot lately and kinda just wanna say it somewhere.

that said, feel free to just scroll on by bc this is heavy. also super long? i just- needed to get it off my chest, kinda.

cw: sexual assault, alcohol and drug use

so, in highschool there were these two guys who were in my friend group but i wasn't rly friends with, we'll just say L and N. L had an obvious crush on me and kept trying to get me to date him even tho i had a boyfriend and he knew my boyfriend - once i ended up going on a date with him bc my autistic ass thought he was just trying to hang out, lmao. anyway, it was awkward, esp once my friends told me uhhh no that was a date? u just described a date.

N was a lot more chill but also kinda... he was nice and all, genuinely nice, but he was also one of those no no i'm not sexist i'm an equal-opportunity hater haha! guys. so i wasn't rly close with either of them

but when i went to college they were the only two ppl i already knew and i was rly overwhelmed about being all alone on campus at first, so i ended up spending quite a bit more time with both of them, in and out of school. and it was fun when it was the three of us! they were amusingly raunchy and we talked a lot about related subjects and went on walks together and idk, it was nice. this was before i realized i was trans but i think it fulfilled a Just One Of The Guys need i had at that time

got p close with both of them, esp L. ended up at his house by myself quite frequently. and, well, we drank - this being before i realized i had a unrelated liver disease. and by this point i was out as trans and my family was AWFUL about using the right pronouns and i had no in-person connections who used the right pronouns and i was... p desperate for validation. while also using both alcohol and weed quite heavily to cope

so, yknow... hang out with someone who calls me 'he', talk about gender shit, sigh and go along with the eight million dumb YT videos he wanted to show me, but whatever, i got free liquor and it was smth to do, right? i was even able to lean into being a system around him! that was super validating.

so, surprise surprise, we ended up becoming kinda fuckbuddies. and i was okay with that - p open that i wasn't interested in a relationship but like, sure, we can fuck around. so we did. usually drunk. usually quite drunk. but that was okay because there was still consent going on

but i had one very clear, very explicit boundary. and once he started to cross it - i called him out on it and he pushed back and i had to tell him to stop several times. it wasn't like... aggressive? just very, very coercive. took me a long time to accept that it was still a form of rape. hell, i still struggle to type that out, i want to add caveats to it. but it just was. and that was the big change for me, when i realized he wasn't actually going to respect my boundaries. still hung out with him for a while after that and we had sex a few more times while i was processing my feelings about everything and trying to accept that he was in the wrong and i had a right to be upset

but after that, i just started feeling rly shitty on the walk home whenever i left him. there were subspace/subdrop issues at play, too, which was another brand-new discovery for me, and no aftercare ever, but it was... yeah. it was bad.

still, took me a while to break off the relationship. i was actually at a conference for a school thing when i did it, because being around ppl who saw me as a man, who respected me, who treated me kindly... it totally changed how i saw interpersonal dynamics. like, that whole experience was a MASSIVE wake-up call for me. so that was when i cut him out of my life

now, oddly, this story isn't about L. it's about N.

afaik, N had no idea about any of this. but a while ago, idk probably over a year now, he sent me a nice text mentioning that he didn't know why we'd fallen out of touch. and i usually delete texts after a while but i still have that one. sometimes i want to reply - not telling him the details, just like 'yeah so me and L had smth weird and i didn't want to put u in a position where u had to choose' but also just- memories, yknow? i associate them together very strongly bc the three of us spent sm time together

but i still feel kinda bad. kinda miss N. i saw him become a better person while i saw L kinda become a worse person. i just feel... idk. torn? ultimately i gotta take care of me because no one else can, but i think about him quite often, and about that text i've never replied to. and i also spent time with N alone, and it was just chill. he never tried to fuck me. when i slept over he let me have his bed and made sure there were fresh sheets and everything. he watched me play videogames at his house and let me spend forever on character customization and made sure i had vegetarian food to eat. he was nice, without any strings attached. and we talked about, shit, everything. once we walked for hours and hours - p much the entire night - just talking. he rly opened up to me a lot, and i opened up to him - not about everything and not about anything with L, but about a lot of other stuff. it was an important friendship.

and i just... i regret losing that a lot. i've been thinking about both of them a lot recently. part of it is just coming head to head with things i was using weed to repress now that i've been sober for a while, granted. bc i've been thinking about a lot of things in my past recently.

relationships are messy. but i regret that a good friendship got stained by a bad one.

[ventbloglite]

Saw an interesting post by @snaxle lately but didn't want to add my crap to it and spoil the post or w/e but it did get me thinking.

It's really sad that it's seen as 'controversial' to speak up about misandry especially when it leads to transphobia because people think you're saying 'women oppress men' and that's... not it at all? Anyone can say this stuff, including men themselves? Anyone can accidentally pick up TERF ideology?

'It's bigotry to hate on a whole group for something like their gender' is not pointing the finger at anyone else in particular and calling them an oppressor. It's stating a fact that we all should know is true, but inviting you to understand that this includes men. Yes, even completely nonqueer* men!

And as Snaxle points out, you are being invited to understand the radfem/TERF ideology you are spouting, supporting and encouraging when you make and share posts hating on a whole ass gender as if the thousands of people the word 'men' covers (including some people who are also women) are all exactly the same.

As if being born with a penis, or identifying with the gender of those who usually are, changes your entire personality and morality into a singular hivemind wherein you must adhere to violent, abusive, unhygienic, rude and emotionless behaviour expected of every man. These traits of course, being impossible to have if you're not a man. /sarc

It's easy to understand!

You start saying you hate all men and you justify it to yourself based on crime statistics or personal trauma. You convince yourself even if you don't say it/subconsciously that men basically aren't people. Not like women are people, anyway. It often includes ignoring intersectionality and that what you actually hate is Patriarchy as a system of control and oppression of anyone who doesn't fit the surprisingly narrow scope of 'acceptable' which also includes an awful lot of men.

You may make an exception for trans men/masc people, but only if we don't preform masculinity too well or you may include us to 'validate' our gender.

Excluding trans men/masc people often comes with reasoning that infantilises us or acts like our AFAB status makes us simply too pure to do wrong (not like Real I mean cishet men!).

Including trans men/masc people often leads to ignoring that we can be targets of unique antitransmasc hate and even misogyny in favour of the illogical hatred against our gender.

Both options are supported by TERFs to either enact hatred onto us or speak of us as though we're just confused little girls.

Sometimes this form of misandry also includes acting like being attracted to men is either wrong or 'unfortunate' including when men love other men.

Forever you skirt the boundaries of 'just' hating men 'of privilege' to hating anyone who has or was born with a penis regardless of current gender because a lot of the people who agree and support your generalized view on men and how awful we are inherently do not make a distinction between man and trans woman and will argue that it is in fact the biology that makes 'men' gross and violent.

Suddenly womanhood is on this incredibly high and unstable pedestal where 'safe' means acting a certain way and it's so incredibly easy to be pushed off. Not to mention how disgusting it is to turn your back of womanhood, right? /sarc

At the same time, having an abuser who isn't a man seems like it's impossible so you must be wrong if you think someone who isn't a man and doesn't have a penis is abusing you especially if you are a man yourself.

Thinking men are ok is suddenly a controversial stance to have especially if you're a woman and any man who is being 'allowed' to be viewed as safe does so by strict adherence to an unfair set of ever changing rules oftentimes which includes having to show hatred for the self and other men.

Nobody should be made to feel like an unlovable monster because of their gender and TERFs shouldn't be getting incidental ideology support even a little, even just at the fringes, because you can't think critically.

*I use nonqueer here because some queer men are also cishet e.g. cis arohet/hetace
