Testing something: who are your favorite canon trans women in fiction?

[couldtransitionsaveher]

Things I've learned so far:

1. Many of the characters listed aren't canonically trans (some of them are characters I know about for sure, others could just be the result of wikis being misleading)

2. Trans women have wildly different standards for what is "good" transfem rep than everyone else

3. There is a character named "Cancer Death Toll" in Saint Seiya. This made research hell.

genuinely sorry to have to keep posting stuff like this, i hate doing this enough as it is, but. because of some sudden bills regarding my roommate's medical incident at the start of the month, we are now $160 short on rent for this month. found out about that half an hour ago. that and he isnt being allowed to work for another month so we need some way to scrounge up that rent. overall this is about $910.

im clairebear1093 on paypal and cashapp, and clairebear1018 on venmo, which im tentatively putting down since it seems to allow you to skip putting in the phone number now. venmo is preferred as it's how i pay rent, but i can navigate.

an update since this: our roommate got on disability, but a scam is trying to harass him and disability is only 150 a week, which is nowhere near enough. anything helps at this point.

hhhhhi i am actually worried about my job right now! for varying reasons. and finding a new one has not been easy with my specific situation. unfortunately this is gonna get reblogged a lot more.

[hard-times-paramore]

Okay, real talk now. People love to tag male characters in posts about women, but this post is gonna take this seriously. Is there actually a canonically male character you believe is a trans woman? Or at least has made into a trans woman for a fanart or a fanfic? Excluding the ones canonically implied.

Sound off in the tags! Link to the fanart or fic if available. Do it. Give me the girls. Make more women.

maybe this is not my place to say because I am monolingual, and I'm sure it's part of a larger, more nuanced discussion about visibility and accessibility on the internet, but I think it'd be cool if people posted in their native languages more instead of in english. I see people do it way more on other platforms than on tumblr which is almost exclusively in english

[minothtime]

El problema es, como bien has dicho, la accesibilidad y la visibilidad.

Tumblr en concreto es muy anglocentrista y un gran número de los usuarios no habla más que inglés. Si quieres que tus cosas lleguen a gente con gustos u opiniones similares, escribirlo en inglés asegura que la gente por lo menos lo pueda leer. Suma a esto el hecho de que bastantes series y tal son originalmente de habla inglesa (y a veces ni se traducen a tu lengua madre), lo que crea un fandom principalmente angloparlante.

Más allá de eso, también hay que tener en cuenta las diferencias culturales que surgen entre fandoms de distintos idiomas. Por ejemplo, durante mucho tiempo el fandom de Vocaloid angloparlante y el hispanohablante han chocado con respecto a temas como la piratería. En ocasiones es complicado manejar estas expectativas, y si sabes varios idiomas, peor incluso.

A mí me gustaría subir cositas en español y encontrar a gente que comparta mis gustos, pero en Tumblr en concreto es casi imposible. Tumblr ya es de por sí mucho más «nicho» en espacios hispanohablantes que otras RRSS como TikTok o Instagram, y si tus intereses no son muy populares, despídete.

La lingüística de los espacios de fans también está hipercentrada en el inglés. No es una pareja, es un ship; no es un universo alternativo, es un AU; no es destripar, es hacer spoiler, etc. Incluso las siglas: en español es LGTB, pero lo que sueles ver es LGBT. Parece una tontería, pero esta disonancia cognitiva hace que resulte muchísimo más complicado hablar en tu propio idioma en un fandom. Por no hablar de las innumerables referencias a posts o a memes... en inglés todo, por supuesto. Como te atrevas a hacer cualquier referencia cultural no inglesa, no te entiende nadie. Pierde la gracia.

Casi todo esto se puede achacar al imperialismo cultural estadounidense. El inglés es útil para comunicarse con gente de todo el mundo, pero su omnipresencia sirve de barrera para todos los demás idiomas. Quizás habría que reflexionar un poco sobre por qué coño el resto del mundo tiene que tragarse años de clases de inglés para hablar del juego que le gusta en una red social mientras muchos angloparlantes no se dignan ni a meter un texto en un traductor automático y prefieren pasar de largo.

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.

[lastvalyrian]

It's not just rude to make me read something you didn't want to write. It is that you expect me to respond to your email written by Claude. You don't even want me to talk to you. You want me to talk to Claude so that you can make Claude respond for you. It is rude to expect me to talk to a chatbot when I wanted to talk to you.

When I was in undergrad, there was a time when I had classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I would I work on MWF. While there was that one week I had to take off from work to write my final essays, in general I had better time management skills on the times when I had to work part-time while going to school than when I decided to just not work at all and focus on school.

I think I having more free time just let me procrastinate for too long. But I also think doing manual labor in between reading and analyzing texts relaxes you.

seeing trans women out in public is like warm sunlight washing over me it genuinely brightens my mood
