Malleus Draconia!

You both agreed to meet up where you first met. If you're going to start the new year you're going to make sure this relationship lasts! You both just started dating not too long ago anyways.
Putting on you're shoes as you reach for the door handle, a small furry creature rubs its head on your leg.
"GAH!! why does my henchmen have to go with that weirdo with horns! He isnt as great as the all powerfuland all knowing grim!!" He said in frustration. He didn't want you to leave, he wanted to start the new year with you. Not with Tsunotarou.

"Grim..hes my boyfriend, of course I want to spend the new years with him; look after it hits 12 I'll come home as soon as I can and then we can spend the rest together alright?" You replied picking him up and giving a small peck his forehead.
Grim let out a small grumble "fine then! Spend all all your time with him! Go frolic in fields for all I care!!" Letting him go as he stomped his way to your room. You did feel bad but you would make it up to him! Ace and deuce would be there with him too anyways.
Hi guys this is very very important so please pay attention, my friend amora (who is arab herself) recently was asking for help to set up a gofundme to help a palestinian family escape gaza and finally it's all set up so PLEASE donate if you can and please share ๐
My name is Muhammad, a Palestinian living in Gaza, and I need help collecโฆ Vardah A needs your support for Help Muhammad and His Family
This is Rafah, The "safe" zone, where 1.5 million Palestinian fled to. You have to understand, what bombing Rafah means.
Please don't look away, while everybody is busy watching the super bowl, Israel commits one of its most deadly and openly genocidal attacks on Rafah. Please don't look away.
Have a friend whoโs neutral and said when I showed her a picture of dead children in Gaza
โEw, I did not want to see that.โ
No shit. But this is the real world and I told her that Israel is bombing Palestine and she still said sheโs neutral. She said that Palestine did things too.
Did the kids do anything?
Did they?
Did the families do something that justified getting bombed? Murdered in cold blood?
Since this discussion and going around recently and has revealed a fair few instances of transphobia in this fandom that I wanted to my point clear: I despise the trope that "everyone finds our Yuu is a girl" because a lot of people who are writing it unintentionally embed their work with transphobia.
And while I know I do not have enough followers for this to actually make a change, I want to explain what I mean so maybe someone will think about how they write this trope.
More often then not, this idea that Yuu is a girl is inherently attached to them being cis with this revelation occurring through them either menstruating or people realizing they have boobs (yes I've seen this one a fair few times) instead of the fact that Yuu just identifies as a girl.
Ignoring my other views on this trope, assigning girlhood or proving Yuu is a girl by claiming their sex or aspects of their sex is what defines that is a problem and a big one. Not all afab people are women nor do they identify as such. Someone being able to menstruate, have boobs, or even have a vagina does not make them a woman no matter what. Similarly someone being amab does not make them a man or mean they must identify as one.
By putting this idea up that Yuu is a girl and that her proof being a girl is her being afab or her menstruating, two things occur. For the menstruation as proof of girlhood, this unintentionally attaches menstruation to girlhood or as proof you are a girl which as explained above borders closer on transphobia than people realize. This also implies there are no other afab people at NRC aka no trans men or nonbinary people who would need the same products, and I only mention this because there are a few instances in these stories where period products are unable to be found in the nurses office because "NRC is a boys school" which isn't this gotcha people think it is.
2) I cannot say this enough but attaching boobs or having a vagina as what makes you a women is not only transphobic but borders on misogyny in ways that we need to talk about. Your sex does not always define your gender.
As we get to the end of this discussion, I want to be clear in saying that I don't think the people writing these are transphobic. I honestly believe a lot of people are writing it this way because they are cis and have never had to or thought to separate their gender from their sex. As a result of never having to question it, I think they do not realize they are writing it this way.
Additionally, I am not saying your Yuu has to be gender neutral or can't be a cis women. Do what you want: your ocs are not my ocs and I have no control over them. What I am saying is that if you are making x readers which are intended to include as much of you audience as possible, please think of your trans and nonbinary readers. I am also not saying that you can't have Yuu go through menstruation or write a one shot about it. You can! Hell, I can give recommendations for those.
All I am asking for is that if you are going to write a piece that uses the "everyone finds out Yuu is a girl" trope then please take my advice and look it over and consider if any of this stuff is unintentionally transphobic. I know I can't stop you from writing that and I am not trying to. I am just trying to share my voice and concerns about it as a trans person because as of late, people have not been taking them seriously especially in this fandom.
I won't touch in the topic ever again but ill just have to say one last thing; please block me if you're friends or follow soru/ameleii, I don't care if they hate me for calling out their friend but them literally framing trans people as dangerous has genuinely no excuse that's just fucking bigot terf mindset, and to my trans mutuals and followers; you are not an animal you're a beautiful person you're valid you're not dangerous you're not someone that shouldn't be trusted i love you please stay safe you never know who in the internet could be hiding beneath a nice mask

Itโs always โDNI if youโre LGBTQphobicโ until you remind them the T stands for trans.
Nobody but trans people will ever treat trans people normally the nerve of soru to be acting like the victim too lmfao but then again this is what happens when trans people don't just take everything with their mouth shut and head down
Wooooo, Iโm so steamed about this shit. They only care about fictional trans people, and even then only when they can fetishize or make them the butt of the joke. Both of them are absolutely disgusting human beings.
Blanket disclaimer: If your transphobic or support transphobia get the FUCK off my page.
As a fucking reminder; SHE was the one that barged in a discussion between mutuals SHE reblogged MY reblog in Eli's post i only barged in when SHE started being transphobic and TWO of my mutuals were venting about how her words made them feel
Quick work, if you cant respect trans people, get the fuck out of my blog
Second, if someone doesn't even know better, it doesnt make it any okay!! If you can't learn from the first chance, you do not deserve a second chance, if you're ignoring the people you want to educate yourself on, you dont deserve a second chance.
