I know people might hate Steve, because Endgame (and Doomsday…) are the reasons for it, and I do it myself, but to accuse him of being a roadblock to Bucky's recovery…? Like…?

There's not a single scene in the entire MCU that shows Steve only wants his old self, nor any that suggests Steve is holding Bucky back or demanding he be his old self. Not a single one. In fact, Steve clearly admitted he knows Bucky isn't the same person anymore, but he doesn't care. He wanted Bucky to get his memories back, but since when does that make him some selfish person who only wants the old Bucky?

It's also important to consider that Steve is the only person in the entire MCU who told Bucky that what he did as the Winter Soldier wasn't his fault. That he didn't have choice. He didn't make him make amends, didn't make him take responsibility for anything, because he knew it wasn't his fault, didn't diminish his victim status by suggesting something was happening of his own free will. No. Steve was adamant that it wasn't Bucky's fault. And rightly so!

Steve wasn't just the person who saved Bucky, risking everything, but also the person who stood by him when absolutely no one else believed in him, and when others suggested that perhaps Bucky shouldn't be saved, beacuse "he's not the man Steve knew."

Steve knew that. And Steve don't give a fuck. And rightly so.

And noting that Bucky should be making amends for Hdyra's crimes is not noticing his flaws, but victim blaiming.

And two things need to be cleared up:

literally the only answer is that transition timelines are meant to visually justify the necessity of transitioning to a cis audience. people won't believe you if you just say you're happier, but if you're more attractive aka a more morally righteous person, then you're allowed. a massive part of this is weight loss. fat people are hated, fat women even more, and being a fat trans woman is utter misery. transition timelines where the woman became or stayed fat don't get popular or are never posted at all. that's why you don't see them.
