The common refrain of "transmascs will shit themselves when they realise that T is making them look like a man, not an androgynous femboy twink" has always bothered me for two reasons. The more minor reason is that "man (on T)" and "androgynous femboy twink" are pretty obviously not mutually exclusive categories. There are a ton of men (cis and trans) with normal T levels who are androgynes, femboys, and/or twinks. There are people who may not end up looking like that when they are on T, but it is still within the realm of possible outcomes, and if it's what one wants to look like, there are things one can do to get closer to one's goal.
The more major reason I am bothered by this refrain, though, is the fact that people who say "why do transmascs always want to look like androgynous femboy twinks?" use this demeaning tone that indicates they have a low opinion of transmascs, androgynous people, femboys, and twinks. It is said as if transmascs are too stupid to know even the basic facts of what they're doing with their bodies, and as if wanting to be an androgynous, feminine, or visibly queer man/masc is inherently a bad and absurd thing to desire. The principle of "some people say 'twink' when they really mean 'fag'" is on full display here. It becomes more obvious when it's paired with overt transmedicalism, e.g., "Why do these trender wannabe twinks feel the need to tell everybody that they're trans?", or "'Transmascs' who want to be feminine twinks are basically not even trans". I can only conclude from statements like these that they think being a "real man" means not being a feminine twink, and that it is unacceptable and undesirable (for a man/masc) to be visibly queer and/or GNC. Otherwise, this would not be said with such derision. Needless to say, it is not the hill pro-trans people should ever be dying on.

I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where yâall lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was âhetslopââthis person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually donât think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post thatâs been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that theyâd need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldnât have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of yâall are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. itâs not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.
on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of yâall NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think thatâs actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think youâre no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldnât kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human
Ralsei is so "internet-friend" coded it kinda makes me wanna explode in grief
Telling Susie to âforget about himâ and to make some âreal friendsâ who, unlike him, can actually be there for her in important moments and not solely during moments of escapism. Completely disregarding his own isolation in favor of allowing someone else to be happy. His impermanence and conditionality in his friendâs lives, only interacting with them when they need to have an escape from their problems, thus never wanting to divulge his own problems lest he spoil the only reason he could possibly perceive anyone wanting to be with him. To relish in that, loving his "role" as nothing but a prop and a servant for their escapism, because that's the only way he gets any connection. Any thought given to him while "offline" and "touching grass" is pointless, and it's selfish for him to ever want that, ever want The Lightners to take a moment out of their awesome real lives to care about him.
This is just one elaborate metaphor for a friend on discord. by god she's even a trans woman.

This is true but I'm gonna be controversial for a second and say that I feel bad for jocks who get hit with The Injuryâ˘ď¸too. The Injuryâ˘ď¸ fucking sucks, man. Having something that everyone praised you for when you were young suddenly betray you and having to grapple with both a sudden loss of ability (whether it's something that can be recovered from or not) and figure out what your future looks like now that the one you had imagined for yourself (whether it was actually realistic or not) feels like it's been snatched away is brutal.
Yeah, like, maybe we shouldn't be shaming/making fun of people for either of these things!
Oh cool, Lucy's graduated from "accidentally being triggered while bringing Augustus homemade brownies" to "deliberately seeking out her trigger out of what I assume is a misguided desire for control over her life."
This is Not Good for her mental health. Maybe there's someone she trusts that she can talk with about this.
People Lucy Trusts
Her Mother
If I'm reading the tea leaves here correctly, it looks like when Lucy was in private school and staying at her aunt's house, she briefly mentioned boy trouble to her mother in a phone call or something, and Carol got involved to a degree that was deeply unnecessary and/or unfortunately necessary.
Or something. I'm extrapolating here.
But it looks like whatever Carol did severely damaged Lucy's trust in her. So her mom's out.
Augustus
No good, she's run out of patience for his well-meaning coddling and won't let on that anything's wrong. If she tells him about her anxieties then a) he'll start coddling her even harder and b) he might feel he has to stop hanging out with Jessica's crew to take care of her. Which would ruin her plan to convince him she's fine so he'll hang out with his new friends.
She can't let Augustus father her, she's trying to mother him!
Paulo
Fine, this one was a stretch before he went all "I know about what Mike did to you and I remained friends with him anyway" and/or "I will totally abandon one of my oldest friends if you invoke something rash I said in a fight like a month ago."

bwahahahaha <despairing laughter>
