every time a trans man who does not want to be called a twink gets called a twink I will personally go out into the world and rend 1 parked car to shreds with my teeth. cut it out
walk with me for a moment. let's think for a sec. I'm not upset but I do want people to understand. do you think assigning a label associated with feminine features, hairlessness, skinniness/lack of muscle tone, and high pitched voices is something that most trans men would feel comfortable being associated with? why or why not?
of COURSE there are trans men who don't mind it, or trans men who actively enjoy being called a twink. but I am not hairless by choice. I WANT fat and muscles and body hair and a deep voice. and a lot of trans men that get called twinks DO HAVE THESE THINGS, yet they get called "twink" anyway. why do you think that might be?
it's okay if you've done this in the past. maybe just check in before you call your friend or acquaintance something with so many specific, potentially disheartening associations!
I wonder if the inverse occurs with trans women getting called "butch" too. because there are many wonderful butch trans women!!! but if you call trans women "butches" for traits like short hair or body hair despite otherwise feminine presentation, maybe think about why that is? is she really a butch? or is that just her body? just ask first!
nonbinary people too. are they really "masc presenting" or is that just their body? are they really "fem presenting" or is that just their body? let's all try to be a bit more cognisant of the language we use to describe the trans people in our lives, yeah? [: it's worth thinking about. don't worry yourself into a hole about it, of course! but it's something to check every now and then.
Wesley is preparing for a bit of an adventure, first stop being in Sharlayan to visit his kits, and he is putting Gaelileo in charge of his burrow.
The last time Gaelileo was left alone when Wesley went on a trip to Thavnair and then Scion business in Alexandria shortly after, Gaelileo raided the pantry and made a mess of snackie all over the floor. Wesley had to buy locks for his pantry to prevent his sneaky little catby (cat baby) from wrecking more havoc.
My Wesley assumption is he doesn't like his nose touched bc it's sensitive!!
This is very funny to me because this has happened in RP. One of Orin's boyfriends booped Wesley's nose at the end of their second meeting after Wesley explicitly told him No Touching, which has developed into a mild aversion to that guy in particular. lol
Wesley, while he CRAVES physical touch, refrains from touching and avoids being touched by others. His Echo comes with an added dynamis absorption ability that he was largely unable to control until Very Recently. The build up of dynamis in his body caused his magicks to backfire on him, burning and cutting up his fingers and hands. The physical avoidance was meant to protect others from being able to feel their emotions and to prevent this build up.
So his nose itself isn't sensitive when touched! But he hates being touched by people he doesn't trust much yet because he wants to better control the dynamis in his body!
