Navigating gender dysphoria? Be heard and be counted in the science.

The surveyors include:

- Kenneth J. Zucker, an advocate for conversion therapy.

- J. Michael Bailey, a proponent of Blancharts ideas (autogynephile vs gay man dichotemy)

- Lisa Littman, the woman who coined the term "rapid-onset gender dysphoria"

This study is not conducted in good faith, it's intended to be used to strip away our rights, not understand us.

Ideally I'd make a post like "It is pride month! Yay! :D" ...But it is getting increasingly hard to exist as a trans person, let alone celebrate it.

We should still celebrate it. That celebration doesn't need to be loud. It doesn't need to be noticed by anyone except yourself.

They want us to feel shame at who we are. They want others to fear what we are. Pride in yourself is the antithesis of shame. So please, now more than ever, make sure you celebrate pride. Celebrate you.

Honestly I don’t think Alya comes across that way to me, especially in season 4 through 6. She’s allowed to disagree with Marinette and have her own opinions, and even her own moral code. That people deserve honesty and that true is important for someone to grow. We see this in revelator and lady chaos. We even see her grow from the journalist that wants truth no matter what to the journalist that knows when some secrets should be kept. Which started back in season 2 with Sapotis, where she puts back the miraculous after seeing that ladybug’s trust is more important than being a hero and even revealing her identity. And speaking of season 2, it’s also the start where we saw Alya’s sisters and her sisters are recurring characters. So in short, I think Alya doesn’t fit that trope and has good depth to her more than most black characters do. Though, I do wish she had more black features like having natural hair.

As for Nino, I think he fits to this trope sadly. That isn’t to say that he doesn’t have his own life or goals… but they’re barely seen by the audience because he doesn’t have a lot of screen time to himself. He’s either stuck being Alya’s boyfriend or Adrien’s best friend, and sometimes he gets his own moment and plotline like with the resistance in season 5, where he did help ladybug and chat noir as well as having his own character moments but it wasn’t a lot of that plotline and the resistance disappeared after season 5 leaving Nino in the dust because he barely knows the main plotline of season 6, Gabriel is monarch and Marinette is hiding it from everyone especially Adrien until she gets the butterfly miraculous back. I mean he still gets moments where he has his own thoughts and opinions on things, rocketear is a good example of this. And we saw his parents for the first in chained titans and his home life, seeing how it shaped him to the person he is. But that isn’t enough, he should be allowed to do more outside of being Adrien’s best friend or Alya’s boyfriend.

One last thing to add about Nino, we don’t actually know he’s black. Like canonically black, he’s Moroccan, which is Arab. But him being black is up in the air, not saying it isn’t implied. We have Zeno as his Va, his curls, and one of his bracelet are an African pattern. But I think it should be explicitly shown in canon that he is black more than just implying it. As for his parents, I have a light skinned mom that has a similar skin color to Nino’s dad, so his parents being lighter than him is honestly pretty realistic because sometimes that’s how genetics works.

But yeah, I think Alya doesn’t fit this trope but Nino sadly does, also keep in mind I’m not an expert on this because I’m black.

And I wanna hear more about this “missing brother” Tom mentioned but never brought up again. Maybe Nino can have a legitimate conspiracy board hidden in the back of his closet and he has his brother’s friend’s contacts saved in his phone and occasionally calls them

And he eventually lets Adrien in on his goal to find him and the reason he didn’t do so earlier was because of Adrien’s own shitty home life and he didn’t feel like “dragging him into his own family bs.”

Also, Nino would definitely be pissed at Marinette/Ladybug after everything is revealed, not just because Adrien’s his best friend, but because he HATED Gabriel with every fiber of his being. He probably glares at people calling him a hero because that’s not the asshole he remembers. But he can’t say that because Gabriel got Ladybug’s stamp of approval and no one can badmouth Ladybug, and Adrien’s too in love with Marinette who keeps telling him his dad’s a hero and he doesn’t wanna get him pissed again after Heartfixer and because he DID have a crush on her, past tense

As for Chris, he may have spoiled him a bit to keep him out of the dysfunctional world that is their family, but he’s since mellowed out after a talk

Just give the kid a personality and other interests

But yeah, I would love to see that for both Nino and Chris. I would especially love to see him and Zoé interact more because they clearly closer than most people realize.

My liege! I found it! It was in response to someone asking why he was so upset about it being stolen by Lila in Chameleon. It says deceased brother, but to be fair, I had to use Google Translate from French to English
