One year ago, trans women held an iconic topless protest outside the Scottish Parliament. I love it when trans women hold topless demonstrations. If they're arrested, the state must admit they're women. If they aren't, it exposes the obvious contradictions of defining trans women as legally male.

The guardian trying to find who’s responsible for increased transphobia in this country

chara is tma because of their hatred with their humanity, and passive suicidality. they're so disgusted and bitter towards mankind that they are willing to kill themselves in order for monsterkind to take its revenge. no reason is given, but it's possible that humans were abusive towards them or treated them poorly in the past. and this has hurt them so much that even after running away, even after finding a new family who loves them, they still feel so much hatred for humanity and for themselves that they carry out their plan

kris is tma because of everything hinted at in their past. they're a human adopted into a monster family. for the longest time they didn't know they were human, and wore fake horns to try and look like their family. despite being clearly and explicitly referred to as "they/them" in the text over and over again, they're still treated as masculine and sometimes even called "he" by the fandom at large. this masculinization extends to the game as well, with the "deodorant for men" and "mancountry: (non men are welcome too)". also the entire narrative of the game is about the disconnect between kris the character, and the soul controlling them. about freedom, and breaking out of the rigid structure of reality.

Susie is tma because she's stereotyped as overly aggressive and masculine due to her appearance. people assume she's a bad person based on nothing but vibes, a highly racialized and transmisogynized act that mirrors what so many "troubled teens" experience. Susie acts bad not because she is bad, but because people have just assumed she's a bully so much that she gives in and simply acts how people expect her to. it isn't until she hangs out with kris and lancer and ralsei where she's given the tiniest bit of unconditional kindness and empathy, that she is finally able to grow into a kind hearted and hopeful character and break free of the stereotypes people impose on her.

Noelle is tma because the snowgrave / weird route is defined by abuse and control, a metaphor for an abusive relationship that trans women often go through, as we assume the only connections we deserve are the ones that hurts us. she hurts and kills people not because she has any intention to, but she's being forced by kris (who is actually being forced by the player). her narrative is defined by abuse and control by parental figures: queen who acts loving and caring but is really just trying to manipulate her and use her for her plan, and her mother who acts cold and distant and implied to be abusive when she sends her to the kitchen after the encounter in chapter 4. also her room is trans flag colored.

ralsei is tma because their entire identity is a tool that exists only as means to an end. their only purpose is to help lightners, who by the laws of the prophecy are intrinsically "above" them. they have incredibly low self worth, constantly belittle their own struggles, and imply that they aren't real. they even offer themselves to be literally used as a stepping stool for others. despite the friendships and connections they have with others, they still cant see themselves worthy of love, or deserving of any personality besides what the prophecy demands. lost girl plays during a hidden scene which shows how lonely and empty they truly feel, that they assume they're nothing more than an object created for a specific purpose. one of the light world objects that they probably are (besides the green crayon or asriels fur) is a doll (the ralsei plush doll). in the few moments of vulnerability and actually personality we see, they are shown to like bows, cooking, and express liking their (very feminine) face and outfit and want to try and become more "ralsei-like"

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

turns out his princess is a lesbian and nobody knew, so when i cast the spell it made him into a beautiful princess. she asked for a refund right away and begged me (cryin', held me at swordpoint) to turn her back, but i says to her, i says, "The die has already been cast, and your fate is now sealed!" which is my way of sayin' "no refunds".

turns out, bein' a princess weren't so bad for her and she was able to take her sweet and beloved princess' hand in marriage. seems like everything worked out.

but then, surprise of my life, they both show up to my tower and my spell was undone. some dark sorcerer shithead (some kinda sketchy royal adviser who wanted to usurp the throne, a million like 'im) had removed my enchantments and turned our princess back into a knight. but she didn't want to be a man no more and asked me to redo the spell. gladly i changed her back in exchange for fuckin' up this sorcerer shmuck, (could be a threat to my business, you see) gave 'er an enchanted sword an everything. to my shock, the other princess takes the sword and vows to get this guy for me.

now i got all this guy's magic shit and good graces for life with the queens of the land, plus the best advertisement money can't buy. "yes, i am in fact That wizard from the story of the princess knight!" classic.

the government says this plan will increase the integration of vampiric persons into normal society. the national health service says their trial will help 'people with disordered hemosynthetic parasitism' manage their health and avoid poor, condition-derived choice.

everyone knows it's kinda bullshit.

the clinics are too far apart, the waiting lists too long, the supply too short and the subject of endless headlines about the bagfeeders stealing from our veins. (0.4% of daily donations, to be precise.)

and you're still basically disabled without RADE (risk-aware dietary enhancement), and taking it from a partner is just a call-out post and a lost mutual aid network waiting for a breakup.

you could do bloodwork. it'll even be not-yet illegal if you don't let them fuck you, which is only the most required part if you aren't a top 0.1% earner and still wanna make rent.

no. what everyone knows really is that it's not enough, and it's not supposed to be. they want you starving, barely able to get up in the evening, getting fired totally because you can't keep up and all these complaints which are totally valid.

they want you thinking about making those poor, condition-derived choices. so they can simper about how much they sympathise with your condition and how unsafe you must feel while they lock you up and cancel all their plans and trials for being ineffective.

so you're in their corridors, their halls. it's where they want you. cheap, and vulnerable, and needy. with the people who could make it better and won't. who'll enjoy you and feed you and toss you when the headlines get too close to finding out.
