I think a lot of the transandrophobia discourse stems from the idea that transfems and transmascs are parallel and inverse. If a transfem experiences one thing, then transmascs must experience the same thing but opposite. In reality, there are gonna be challenges that transfems face that have no transmasc equivalent, challenges that transmascs face that have no transfem equivalent, and challenges that both face in similar or only slightly different ways. That's not even accounting for nonbinary and intersex people who have a whole host of their or challenges outside of this rigid framework we've recreated.

i DO believe that a good writer can make mischaracterization work. oh there's a character who doesn't normally cry? figure it out!! disect the character. make the situation cryable for them. make that character cry ugly tears even if it goes against their very nature. YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK!!!

[amyrosedefensesquad]

A great piece of advice I've seen is "Don't fixate about what the character would never do. Think about the circumstances that would drive them to do this, even if they wouldn't normally."

[ficsinhistory]

Best advice ever!

chopping vegetables and laughing to myself as I imagine someone writing a fanfic about their new oc, the long-lost McElroy sister

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

she has deep purple eyes and long wavy black hair and they have to put her on the podcast and the title of the fic is my brother my brother my sister and me

[playwrongs]

She walked confidently into the podcasting studio. She looked at the three brothers sitting there and smiled, tossing her shiny raven tresses and looking at them.

"It's nice to meet you all," she murmured and her violet orbs shone while she looked at them. "My name is Carmellia Sofia Azura McElroy. And I am your sister."

"But you are too beautiful to be our sister" said Justin looking at her with astonishment.

"I don't know how this could happen" said Griffin who was also astonished.

"Your eyes are as purple as my hair" said Travis (he was still dyeying his hair purple)

"It's true boys" said Clint. "Your mother and I had another child but she was lost when she was one year old. We never told you about her because we didn't want you to be sad that she was lost. But now after many years she has grown up into a beautiful young woman, and you can hear how amazing her voice is. Plus, she is so funny and hilarious. If we put her on the podcast everyone will want to listen."

"I don't want another person on the podcast" said Justin. But then Carmellia said "You mean you don't want another horse in the stable" and it was so funny that everyone busted out laughing hard.

"Okay it's true you are funny and your voice is so rich and good to listen to" said Griffin. "We will change the name of the podcast and make it so that you are on with us every week. It will be called My brother my bRother my SISTER and me!"

"That is all I ever wanted" said Carmellia as she cried happy tears. She took out a big handkerchief so the tears wouldn't fall on the beautiful pink gown she was wearing that had white lace on it and trailed down to the floor. "I'm finally reuinted with my family and I get to make jokes with them." Everyone hugged.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

I think Carmellia dies tragically by sacrificing herself to save her brothers in chapter 12. There are four chapters of everyone grieving her before Sydnee McElroy (in the only appearance of another woman in the fic) resurrects her with medical science. She is the eldest sibling but she was kept in cryogenic sleep for like 30 years so she didn’t age and is only 18.

the way teenagers are treated these days is wild. when i was a teenager we were all watching porn, jerking off, and going to horror movies with 3000 gallons of blood. Nowadays they make kids get a permission slip to watch anything darker than Barney the Dinosaur. Insane.

[ivy-michaels]

Every year we infantilize teenagers more and more and act surprised when they grow up to be terrified, angry, emotionally stunted adults.

[genderkoolaid]

& then for some reason people fixate more on "ugh these teenagers just want to be treated like babies!!! teenagers are to blame for the rise in puritanism!!!!!" than how this is a very obvious example of ageism and the increased control over a socially vulnerable and exploited group

[absolxguardian]

I think a commonly overlooked part of this coddling is that it teaches kids and teenagers to be afraid of things they don't need to be afraid of, which is exactly how they end up as "puriteens". I remember as a child being terrified to change the channel on the tv because I had ended up with the impression that seeing even seconds of an R rated movie or tv show would give me nightmares. And then as a tween every time I saw swearing I felt sick to my stomach because I had been taught such a thing is bad and harmful. I think I would have suffered less if I hadn't been raised with everyone around me acting like mature media was so bad. By the time I was a teenager I had figured out this was bunk, but understandably a lot of people don't. By making this whole system worse and stronger you have teens who have been told that seeing explicit or dark media Will Harm Them, and so they act in ways that would be appropriate if it really was the info-hazard it's implied to be.

[headspace-hotel]

^^ never heard anybody specifically talk about this but yeah. parents acting like sexual or any "dark" content in a story or show was going to put bad things in my head that were going to be there permanently just gave me a deeply distressing sort of contamination anxiety

[jame7t]
