Do you have anything to say about transgender black widow this is v important
iiiii have never thought v hard abt trans!tasha. hmm. let me think some things.
(also gonna use they bc reasons kk)
personally, i 99% go for nb hc’s, esp for my babies , since i’m nb
and i think that my sort of sitch would kinda work for tasha - connecting with the feminine and with the identity of being a woman but also just sometimes...not. and having days when tasha really doesn’t id as any gender in particular bc it’s hard enough id’ing as a living human sometimes.
it could also connect w the loss of fertility, which could make tasha’s gender id v fragile. and being spurred by trauma doesn’t make an nb or trans id any less valid! and that’s def something they’ve been through - the questioning of whether tasha really was a ‘woman’. and i think for mental health reasons tasha’d need to be able to defer to the “gender? nah” way of thinking of themselves, bc otherwise they’re caught up in “am i a woman or am i a monster?” and feeling like there’s no in between when there’s so much in between and tasha doesn’t need to fit in a box or even on a spectrum and who tasha is as a person doesn’t need to be calculable or quantifiable and that’s okay, that’s what human experience is: often describable, but not legit quantifiable. (not that people don’t try really fking hard!)
in tasha i def see a connection w some (mostly weaponized) femininity. and i think that blurs lines more for them, in that they don’t really know where they stand even on expression all the time. preferring feminine clothes esp when their feminine figure can be used against the opposition, but generally, in casual situations, preferring clothes that are usually seen as neutral. not usually tight, to allow for not having to think of body and mind as totally one and the same.
and idk what i have for u if u had a totes different direction BUT POTENTIALLY
if u wanna go for young-’boy’-grows-up-and-identifies-with-femininity-and-womanness (which i guess is now not canon compliant bc the sterilization part) then that can work too - being taken in with the thought that they could do something else, possibly learn from the red room girls, but then wanting, needing to be one of them. not having anything else around that felt safe to identify with, but then learning how to wrap themselves up in any identity they wanted and then turn it against people who looked down on said identities.
if u wanted to go w tasha-never-really-feels-right-iding-as-a-woman-and-then-the-sterilization-totally-makes-a-disconnect-w-a-reality-like-that then that could also be a thing that would make sense.
(not that i don’t think like every trans!hc makes sense somehow but w/e)
okay so this was kinda an unexpected question and idk what u wanted so i gave some basic meta/hc’s, but if u wanted a fic w a certain scenario, or more specific hc’s connected to a scenario or smth then lemme know, ok? i’m cool w writing a fic or w/e w/ a trans!tasha as long as i know what id and scenario is wanted.
thank you for caring abt and asking for my thoughts, bb <3
