elpiso replied to your post “god, the rise of the transphobic ‘trans man siren’ shit in the blands...”
borderlands has always been surprisingly good abt lgbt stuff, but alas, the Masses
Thats one of the things that annoys me about the blands fandom, especially in the height of the trans!Siren!Rhys headcanons. Because by lore its stated you HAVE to be female to be a siren, and if a transguy is a siren,,,, then thats saying he’s not really male after all bc he’s a siren... and on the flip of that thats saying transwomen cant be sirens because they’re not ‘true females’,, Like??? if you think about it for more than ten seconds past its surface value you can plainly see that its a transphobic and gross thing to headcanon?
Thats why Gearbox specifically said you HAVE to be female, and included the fact that if you are a transwoman you can be a siren!! because you’re female!!! Not sure mention the rumours and hints we ARE getting a transwoman siren this game anyways!!!
Sorry to get so heated but this was a common issue in the blands fandom since tftbl came out and its one of the things that irritates me greatly, especially as a transdude
