It's funny whenever you see those memes like "transmasc music: uwu soft boi I wish I was a bug *ukulele solo* transfem music: *loudest sound you've ever heard* IM SLOWLY LOSING MY SANITY" because when you ask for examples of transmasc softboi ukulele bug music it's literally just cavetown. It's literally just one cavetown song because even most of cavetown's music doesn't sound like that. They literally only know one song made by a transmasculine person.

Honestly it feels a bit like one of those "le cringe girls vs le epic boys" memes except gender-swapped (except not really, because "uwu soft boi" is a coded way to call transgender men stupid little girls)

so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.

it makes you a fruit.

This hug is what gets me. Look at how Scott holds Kip here, pulling him in so close (almost like he's afraid Kip will slip away) but also so freaking happy and free. Pure, unfiltered joy, and I am 1000% here for it.

Scott's going to thrive in the sunshine--this hug proves it.

Guy who never feels like his problems are “bad enough” to be taken seriously: what if I hurt the character so horrifically that everyone around them could not possibly deny the severity of their pain even if the character themself tries to downplay it.

also yknow i do think that people would probably have more success dealing with transphobes if they just got obliquely blunt and unwoke about it

“look at her thats obviously a woman are you fucking stupid” works way better on the average transphobe and bystanders than “well shes transitioning so you should try not to be transphobic to her”

[hemipenal-system]

the average transphobe has kind of psyched themself into a paranoid reality that is mostly incomprehensible to the average person, and because of this the easiest way to socially defuse them is to make them look completely batshit insane. if you're surrounded by normal people, a well-placed "what the FUCK are you talking about?" mid-rant about chromosomes and hormones can shut them down infinitely better than trying to out-gender science them
