I've been on tumblr for a grand total of 2 second and in that time I've determined that there are 2 types of people who want to be robots:

Robot trans person :3

Death is the worst fate a human being can experience and the only way to avoid it is by merging the flesh and the machine.

We can work together to create a world where everyone is partially a machine, and where your genitals can easily be swapped between male, female, and neutron laser.

You're staying with a freind whose a robot. It's just been freed from its master and is trying to make a life for itself on its own. It's still kind of afraid of being its own person, it doesn't have a lot of experience figuring out its own identity.

Its not like most robots. It was never forced to do heavy labor, and was never treated as a machine. It was some rich family's personal servent. It was meant to be their pretty little pet, with a body like a doll, and a sweet little voice. People think it was privileged but really it was just traumatized differently. It was forced to never show anger, forced to look pretty for other people, forced to exist in a body that was made small and weak on purpose. While others were made to feel like someone's tool, it was made to feel like someone's toy.

It takes awhile for it to figure out how to be it's own person. You help it slowly find people, meet people who care about them, meet other robots who've been freed. You introduce it to books and games. It slowly becomes obsessed with dark fantasy and with horror, with the type of things that seem so antithetical to what it was used to being. You sometimes have to slowly introduce choice to it, and slowly make sure it knows its safe and it's free.

Slowly it starts dressing itself and making simple modifications to its body. Most people, even most robots, aren't impressed. They tend to think it's cringe, because most things that newly freed robots try to do to express their identity are always seen as cringe. It dresses in leather, wears black, tries to look like something other then the little doll it was made to be. And everyone dismisses it as a little doll trying to look tough. Even other robots will tell it it's still cute. If they don't dissmiss it as silly or cringe, they'll talk about it like it's a child playing dress up.

So many people talk about how antiquated the idea of a malfunctioning robot is. But they still act like whenever it's awkward or doesn't respond like it's supposed to like there's something wrong with it that has to be fixed. Some people have even suggested reprogramming it when it acts in a way they don't like. The idea of a malfunctioning robot is still on their minds they just won't say it. Like they'll say they're happy it doesn't have a master anymore but then they'll always act like they wish it still had a human who would put it in it's place.

Eventually it changed the way its joints worked so that it had a full range of movement, instead of being so doll like and limited. And a lot of its freinds were approving but a lot weren't. People acted worried, like it was ruining its body, like the fact that it became able to do violence when it wanted to suddenly made it a threat. People were afraid that it was going to hurt someone just because it no longer had a body that felt like handcuffs. People saw the lines on its chest where the cloth was cut and sown back up so it's new joins could be put in, and acted like it had been hurt when really it was freed.

It was harassed on the street soon after that. It was acting especially inhuman, and some teenagers were filming it and laughing at it. And it punched one back. And so many people who knew it acted like that was proof the new joints were a mistake. It didn't think that was a mistake, it was glad to have them, because the alternative was being harassed more, and letting it escalate. Shortly after that a chaser threatened it was far worse then just harassment. And it decided the get a gun installed in the palm of its hand, just a small stinger but enough to protect itself. And a lot of people are upset because they think it's becoming violent. And it feels like if someone's so worried that it will be able to defend itself, then they're mad that they or someone they know won't be able to freely harass or hurt it. Like they think it getting hurt is the good ending, and it fighting back is the bad one. It feels like a rattlesnake, having enough predators to justify its venom well.

It's changing more of its body now. It's finally getting rid of the cloth and plastic chassis it always had. It's replacing it with a new one made out of steel, with tons of blades and guns inside of it. It's all painted black, with its glowing bits bright red. It's built almost like ancient armor, with a face that looks more like a warroirs helmet then anything with humanoid features. So many people you know talk about how much they'll miss its old face, or how it's old chassis was so pretty. They mourn the little doll it hated being so much. And meanwhile it's so excited to go from being pretty to being beautiful the way a sword can be beautiful, so excited to finally feel the euphoria of finally looking like itself, instead of looking like someone else's toy.

!!NEW KINK UNLOCKED!!

Using my knowledge and experience of hardware and pc building to mess with a robotgirl’s systems and toy around with her insides. I’ll tighten and rewire her cables, give it a nice change of my thermal paste on it’s cpu… Maybe I’ll even remove a stick of ram or two, or underclock it in the system’s bios, see how fast she crashes… Don’t worry, I’ll take you apart and build you back together, one piece at a time <3

This unit is overdue for refilling its special Estradiol tanks and keeps throwing errors and this is effecting all of its other systems.

Unit intends to bother its partner until tanks are refilled, as they normally perform this maintenance.

Imagine how normalized being gender fluid, trans, or whatever could be in a robot universe.

Like

Trans robots just switching out their parts

Gender fluid robots changing their parts with their current gender

It would be so easy that it could be pretty common!

Like just look at my (very beautiful) visual aid on this idea

Big sis who sees her needy robot sis and pulls it onto the bed. Big sis who cuddles it, knowing its only gonna get more needy. Big sis who feels it get hard and start to hump her and just teases it while it whines. Big sis who finally pushes it on its back and rides it untill the poor robot sis is overheating and bluescreened

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:
