i'm the girl from 日常 (2011). Call me Pocchi! I'm a 21 yr old, autistic, mixed-black lesbian on the net! My pronouns are she/kero. (*´ω｀)o I’m in a DID system, and I’m also alterhuman. I draw sometimes; I also really like web design, check out my website called Aioi!
this blog is where i post... - my art! - my photos! - my rambling... - and your questions!
HELLO EVERYONE HAPPY PRIDE !!!
i am #currently running a sort of sale to celebrate... $5 icons and fullbodies in any pride flag colors you want // whatever your ocs are labelled as :> and tumblr gets a special treat... I WILL DRAW CANON CHARACTERS WITH YOUR PERSONAL HEADCANONS AS WELL!
and when i say any flag i do mean like literally any flag i will do xenogenders and neopronouns too. i won't do things like the map flag or whatever but anything else is on the table! (papyrus font) Just let me know.......
i can take c#shapp ++ v#nmo ++ k#fi (direct link to a comms page !)
here's some examples !! these are all my ocs with their respective flags (aroace ++ mlm ++ lesbian ++ bigay) i can also provide a version of the art that has their normal colors too #notaproblem
you still deserve to have good things happen to you
to be honest any discourse ever in the wider trans community on tumblr makes me wanna go "ok now what about systems. how do systems fit into this wonderful categorization you've got going on. you don't know any systems, you say? think long and hard about why that is. really. sincerely"
#REAL #also not just trans discourse tbh. any qieer discourse #queer* #like y'know the mspec lesbian discourse? #completely fails to take into account plural experiences
EXCELLENTLY BROUGHT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH OKAY IF YOU'RE BRINGING MY TAGS HERE I WILL ELABORATE!!!
i actually made a post alluding to this, but something about the mspec lesbian discourse that always interested me was how often i saw systems being pro mspec lesbian compared to singlets, who were more frequently against them. more specifically — it interested me to see how many systems (ours included) heavily benefited from the label due to the complexities of attraction and gender that comes with being plural, and how many singlets just never considered this to be a possibility.
queer singlets tend to have this mindset that your queerness needs to be "clear cut" in a way that often erases plural experiences from the equation — because plurality, suprise suprise, can cause many complications when it comes to identity. singlets want your identity to be chopped down in a way which is palatable and easy for them to digest — any sort of complexity which would require them to stop and try to understand experiences aside from their own is something they tend to be heavily against.
This!
And those things - plurality and nonhumanity - can overlap in unusual ways.
"Mspec lesbian" is actually a fairly good catch-all for how our system ends up on the scale! But personally, I'm a dragon. I'm aroace and have non-human and non-normative transition goals. I'm also the "core" of the system, or one of them. People don't expect a non-human headmate to be one of the ones born here, or to have such strong feelings about transitioning.
I've changed this body to be more masculinised (top surgery, some T) because that aligns with my nonhuman feelings. But there are also a fair number of humans and humanoids who are also heavy fronters. If I continued to change the body in the few limited ways that I can (I really want blue skin, for example), I'd be making them uncomfortable.
Many of said headmates are also fem-aligned in some way, and have a range of feelings on our top surgery and the inroads we've made into transition. For those of us who have some attachment to girl/womanhood but lean more towards multigender, lesboy, mspec, etc., or for those with less mammalian body plans, it's fine and even welcomed. But for the more human-fem-aligned of us, it creates a strange experience where even though we're afab and can pass as a woman, we still feel dysphoric about the body. We're not laying claim to the transfeminine experience, but there's something there that simply calling us transmasc doesn't cover.
Because of all this, we present as fairly androgynous. We can't have the body reflect all of our genders and identities, or even strongly reflect one of them without causing dysphoria for others, so we settle on something in between that we can dress up as we like. We've noticed a lot of other systems have similar presentations; we've known a handful whose headmates all align strongly enough to one binary gender that they could transition, and a handful who stuck with the body's agab, but the majority of other systems we've met in person have cultivated an ambiguous look for this reason.
Needless to say, this isn't something that goes down very well in the larger trans community, which is still incredibly binarist/exorsexist and demands you have an unchanging, singular relationship with oppression and gender.
I think systems are also really important to note under the category of "detransitioning"!
For a while we were pursuing a more binary-aligned masculine transition path. We stopped doing that when we decided we wanted to try and have a different main fronter.
From the outside, what we did - transitioning up to a certain point, then stopping, seeming unsure, using different feminine names - looks like detransitioning. In actuality, it was just different people taking the collective body and life in different directions.

Oh yeah, our existence is a Controversial Topic Of Endless Bad Faith Arguments on here. We're a transfem and two trans men who live together in one body - obviously, our lives are affected by this! We can pretend that it's not and act like we're a singlet with a simple queer identity, but that's not actually true!
Honestly, a lot of the problems with Queer Discourse on this site can be boiled down to 1) refusing to believe other people when they tell you about their lives, and 2) believing that anyone with an identity you don't understand is labeling themselves that way to harm you.
"You say you're transfem, but I think you're a filthy liar who's faking your gender for influence and credibility. I think you're actually a fake transfem who's sneaking into our community and stealing our resources while making a disgusting mockery of our oppression. You have no idea what you're talking about, you can't possibly understand the real transfem experience! You live in a trans man's body, it's impossible for you to be transfem!"
There's a lot that we could say in response to this argument, some outpouring of real life experience and trauma and hardship to prove that it's not a joke being played for laughs, but we don't need to bare our souls to angry strangers on the internet looking for a fight.
My main question is just - what kind of incredible power and benefit do you assume anyone would get by pretending to be transfeminine? Why do you think that someone would go through the trouble of pretending to be transgender to prey upon a community of defenseless women?
(Do you see the parallels to the common transmisogynist argument that transfems cannot be who they say they are, because they're just lying predatory men who are mocking real women's oppression by claiming to be women? Something to think about.)
Wait actually, maybe we’ll add something to this too.
We have never really transitioned in any “significant” way. Medical transition is forbidden where we live and social transitioning is impossible at our current living condition, so we live our life as if we’re a cis woman who wears unisex clothes and binds once in a while. We do know Transgender 101 from the internet but because of this background, we often still feel that we’re not “trans enough” for several reasons. Even our trans members feel this way at times.
Our system has cis people and trans people on both sides of the binary, nonbinary people, you name it. Sometimes our gender identity is inseparable from our alterhumanity, often in weird ways (for example, cistransfem werebeast girls. One in particular relates to a ton of transfem experiences even though her gender has always matched the body). Some other times, we just know, for whatever reason, that we’re cis or trans without taking our body into account. We typically only transition in our headspace if we choose to do so, because even something as simple as purchasing a binder or a packer is difficult to do here.
Our cis guys acknowledge that they face basically the same problems as an average transmasc person, but they themselves don’t transition in headspace so they don’t feel that they’re trans. They’ve always been the same gender, they just ended up in the “wrong” body.
Queerness can be very messy in a system in ways that might not be easily digestible to singlets, and this often makes us afraid to talk about it outside of alterhuman spaces because what if people refuse to understand? What if they choose to hate us because it feels “easier” than trying to understand others?

Ms Frizzle sending you one (1) permission slip at the beginning of the year to cover all the field trips and you’re like huh that’s a little unusual but I guess it’s efficient at least and then you open it and it’s written like This
