Hey y’all!

There is such a heavy Americanisation online that when I look up simple terms like "politics", I get a spreadsheet of how the American Senate is organised. I look up "laws Ireland" and I get a discussion around the rights of Irish-Americans or a list of lawmakers in America who are Irish. If I talk about the postal service being crap, I get told that UPS is trash and a detailed explanation of federal funding cuts to American postal offices. No matter what it is, you will automatically get information from an American perspective. Same with identity. If I say I am Irish, people assume that I am Irish-American in such a way that it implies Ireland just doesn't exist anymore as a place. Same with Italian. Also with the Spanish language, I have to bring up, because I've seen people ask perceived white users on here or TikTok why they're speaking Spanish if they aren't Latinx as if Spain isn't a country.

Yet, here's the flip side. If I talk about bad healthcare or a lack of abortion rights, I get Americans jumping in to tell me how much worse it is there and how I have nothing to complain about. If I talk about constructs of whiteness from a European perspective, I'm told that that isn't how racism works (when it does. In Europe). If I talk about crooked politicians, America is worse. Talk about taxes, America is worse. Talk about violence, America is worse. No matter what I may have to lament about from my point as an Irish person living in Ireland, I'm wrong because some state in America is worse. I once gave advice for buying vegetables and was told I was lying about the price of an Avocado even though I can literally buy them for 59c depending on the week deals in Aldi. I talked once about how to make cheap hearthy meals last longer to someone who was struggling & was yelled at because they lived in a particular area which didn't have access to shops as if I was meant to know these details about that specific part of America. I was trying to help someone & got yelled at because I didn't know that somewhere in the middle of Milwaukee or something had bad public transport. Yet I mention the inability to get top surgery in Ireland and am told to "just go to the next state over" like I can hop in a bus and suddenly have access to different surgery options. Going to Kilkenny won't fix the fact we don't have a surgeon here.

How come people are allowed to talk on American contexts and American events and American history and American politics but any time someone from not America speaks from their perspective, we are told it's irrelevant or not needed or told we're wrong (when we aren't)? Americans are allowed to bring their politics or history into conversation without anyone batting an eyelid but when someone else does it, it is apparently some form of attack on them or an attempt to silence them? No. We are giving the perspective from another country.

It feels very much like that Cut video where African Americans were ranking people on how black they were based on African American concepts of black, to the point they told a South African man that he was not black when he... Literally is. Your experience is not universal. Your understanding of situations are not universal.

Why does American ideals override every other countries? Why does American beliefs get held as truth? Why does America get to define everything and everyone else is wrong?

I wish Americans would step back and acknowledge the fact that many Americans refuse to hear someone else's opinion or situation because they aren't Americans, especially when it comes to political or socio-economic issues. If someone brings up politics in France, in the UK, in Spain, in Belgium when talking about politics elsewhere it isn't them trying to take over a conversation but simply giving another opinion with examples from their country. We have our own history of struggles, political or socio-economical, and sometimes those examples can help put other struggles into a different perspective. Sometimes the only way we can personally discuss issues is through our lived experience in another country that isn't America, so we need to compare to give context to how we perceive it.

Each would have a different special interest/hyperfixation! (For example, horror media, a cute mascot, trains)

Lmk if yall have any ideas!!

anime: haikyuu

req: can i ask for a haikyuu x trans!reader? im dysphoric today :[[ either a oneshot or headcanons with multiple characters cause comfort characters <33

notes: ok so first off i thought this was meant to be comfort for dysphoria and i was halfway through when i realized it was just general trans reader hcs? so it ended up being kinda a mix. also i chose the karasuno team bc i started rewatching hq like,, two days ago and the first season is just <3.

notes² : hahah this is platonic but there's a lot of homosexual undertones <3

notes₃ : ghost im so sorry if these suck ok also i realize u said trans reader so im sorry if these were meant to be nb/gn and not ftm </3

third year trio could probably tell what was up with u when u were acting kinda off during the day and then during practice

daichi’s the one that bought you your first binder cuz he caught you binding with ace bandages and was like "that's not good >:0"

anyways daichi knows everything he's smart smart so obviously he figured out u were trans and basically adopted u as his son on the spot

he checks to make sure you take your binder off for gym and also makes sure u aren't overbinding

the third years probably sat down with you because as your senpais it's their duty to look after u totally not because they love u haha ha what are u talking abt

they'd listen to you if you wanted to vent and if you didn't wanna talk about it they'd let u know that they were there for u

asahi would be so scared cause??? he's scared he's gonna say the wrong thing??? he'd just hug u and not speak hhh u might end up having to comfort him instead

suga though

he just wants you to forget about it and feel better :( but he knows it's not that easy

if he knows that you're feeling dysphoric or sad he'll follow u around and check up on u at random intervals during the day,, and maybe if he sees you cry or get anxious or whatever he'll cuddle u <3

hinata and kageyama probably wouldn't understand fully?? like they understand that ur trans and stuff,, they just don't rlly get the dysphoria thing,, but they'd still be ur #1 hype men

kageyama would just be like "i don't really get what's wrong, but you play volleyball really well and you're also smart so don't be upset :("

AND FOR SOME REASON HES BLUSHING HAHAHA IT'S THE HEAT IN THE GYM TOTALLY NOT BC HE THINKS UR AMAZING IN A MAYBE HOMOSEXUAL WAY AHAHA

hinata would buy u food (if he can afford it lmao) to make u feel better

"M/N LOOK LOOK I GOT YOU UR FAVOURITE SNACKS!"

he definitely ate some he's so sorry he just couldn't resist pls forgive him

would jump on you. u both need it ok pls let him.

tanaka would show you how to do the Delinquent Face™ to scare off any local transphobes

noya would jump on u too and tell u to be ur manly self "cuz ur hot either way who cares"

you're part of The Boyz™ dw noya and tanaka got ur back ;)

they'd overuse masc terms like "hey m/n yes you the boy next to hinata hey bro dude come practice with us and show us your super manly moves my guy"

shh they mean well <3

tsukishima would be his usual salty self but he keeps an eye on u during the day to check ur mood and tones down the teasing if you look too sad :(

and if someone says smth dumb he is ready to THROW HANDS mans gonna beat their asses but he'd never let u know ofc he has a reputation to uphold

and like,, if he teases u he's gonna be v careful to say shit like "stupid boy" and "himbo" agshsjdkv i hate him so much what

kiyoko would HUG YOU omg what a QUEEN who WOULDN'T be straight for her ahagdnzk so what if ur GAY didn't u know u can be gay and still like GIRLS ahaha this is not me projecting my biromantic ass on u wtf are u talking abt

NOW

i hc yamaguchi as trans (sorry if this offends anyone ig but i just,,, hhhh trans yams and trans m/n being besties is all i need in life)

he knows what it's like even though he doesn't feel dysphoric that often?? so you would spend a lot of time together and he'd tell you some of his coping mechanisms and yall would exchange tips

AND YACHI MY BABY GIRL MY SUGAR PLUM HUNNY BUNNY

SHE WOULD BE SO SUPPORTIVE

NOT SURE HOW TO COMFORT U CUZ???? SHE'S ANXIOUS THAT SHE'S DOING IT WRONG (guys this is not my yachi kinnie showing ok ur hallucinating pls seek help)

would take u shopping (with shimizu) for clothes to help w the dysphoria

if u didn't have enough money they'd pool some of their savings together n help u out

UKAI WOULD AWKWARDLY PAT UR BACK AND BE LIKE "it's okay, son" ASHDGDK "now go do two extra laps and work up some ✨sweat✨" he's tryna comfort u in his OWN WAY ok let him BE

but if anyone was being transphobic he would need to be HELD BACK or else he'd punch that idiot even if it was a student hhh students don't get an asshole pass
