"there's no such thing as a transgender child" incorrect. Little old me was crying at my cousin's birthday party when I was like 9 because they wanted to put makeup on me and put me into a dress. I also cried when they made me wear a dress for Easter photos. I felt sick when I had to start wearing a bra. I'm the transgender child the media doesn't want you to know about
Anyway this rant brought to you by the amount of posts on r/plural that say "I came out to my parents and they're not acknowledging our plurality/they're being weird about it" and it taking everything in our power not to reply "hey why did you think they would/wouldn't"
Because like. What did y'all expect parents can't handle their kids being trans let alone more than one guy. It's going to be extremely scary for a parent to see their child "become someone else".
Like re: my last reblog I just can't separate my nonbinaryness from the misogyny I've experienced in my life; how to this day I feel the pressure of knowing my body is a poker chip in a game I never consented to be in, that being the pressure to have children regardless of my absolute horror at the thought; the fact that my body and presentation have always been policed more than my cis male peers, that I had to work harder against my will to look attractive. That looking attractive, as I was told from a very young age, was imperative for me to be taken seriously 'as a woman'. That I am in a state that stripped abortion rights from me as soon as I could, that I need to misgender myself to be taken seriously at all.
Obviously not all of this is particular to afab nb people or even afab trans people. But I have always felt the misogynistic pressure of becoming a Wife and a Mother and to be subservient to my husband because those are the expectations I was raised with, and I can't simply shrug off those expectations on my body simply because I know myself to not be a woman.
Normie redditors: political differences are supposed to be petty like tax policy!
Me, a communist: ...interesting. however,
It's me. The world's first Uma sociologist
Chica had her teeth cleaned and 4 removed; the bill was REALLY hefty so I am going to reopen comms and stuff to recoup the cost, hopefully.
She was really loopy when she first got home but she is acting a bit more like herself as of this evening. She scarfed down some mushy kibble and has a strong appetite and she's gone to the bathroom.
I'm a total mess though. It's been an extremely stressful day and chica suddenly having a two week recovery of needing to wear a cone and eat mushy food, plus the fact that she's clearly pretty frustrated with the cone and had a very very hard day pushed me to A Point. I may need to take a half day at work tomorrow because I don't know if chica will need extra care or if frankly I will.
I swear to god if I see another reddit post on r/plural asking how endogenic systems work
The other thing about specifically the idea that umamusume would be a transfem thing only and could never resonate with trans men and nonbinary people is like...it's a race of all "women", presumably (canonically) by birth. I think for any single-sex species the idea that you are locked into a single sex by your biology and that you cannot identify outside of it would obviously resonate with trans men and afab nonbinary people?? Especially with the umamusume that read more masc, we find the idea of an umamusume escaping gendered expectations of femininity enforced by their very species and the society that tells them they are inescapably This Way to be WILDLY compelling.
