Where the fuck do I even begin?
So the overall lesson in this episode really didn’t come off as accepting or tolerant of trans issues in the slightest.
They outed their ‘trans’ character at the start, didn’t address how wrong that was
the overall lesson here is not to change your body because bad things will happen and you’ll be a monster
I want to say this right now:
I am trans. And it’s people telling me that I’m NOT a boy, that I SHOULDN’T want t change that makes me feel like a monster.
It makes me feel like a freak.
CN decided to make a trans character a villain for trying to change ‘who they are’.
I’m going to keep this short and simple because the fix to this abomination IS simple:
This episode would have been PERFECT if he became a monster because everyone kept insisting he was a pony over and over and over and over
his anger could grow from no one letting him be what he feels
and in the end, bubbles insisting to him that he IS a unicorn, and that she was wrong for not treating him like one from the start
and everyone accepting him as a unicorn
Everyone believing in him and accepting him as a unicorn is what turns him in to a unicorn
But most of all, the most important thing, is that he has to believe in himself.
He might not have been a unicorn in body but he was a unicorn at heart and that’s what mattered most, and as long as he was true to his heart and everyone else could accept him for what he feels on the inside.
Bam, unicorn. The problem is solved, he no longer feels like he has to be a monster or a freak, he doesn’t feel trapped in his own body and misunderstood and mislabelled.
How fucking HARD was that to fix?!
Instead, we got this. This thing that tells us trans people are whiny, dramatic, angry, and that it’s risky/dangerous to try and change your body. That they should just accept their own bodies and it’ll all be okay.
