momentary return to tumblr just to talk about how 5 minutes in transtwt will make you want to kill yourself and everybody else

note to self defending trans women on the internets from transmisogyny makes you white

man i sure do feel a certain way about homestuck beyond canon featuring explicit transmasc representation and joy front and center while transfemininity is relegated to metaphor and readings and teases of what's to come.

roxy gets to transition onscreen. davepeta is metaphorically transfem if you squint. vriska is implied to be trans in a spinoff visual novel and we barely fuckin do anything with that in the comic now that it's been established. there's the ever looming june egbert teases hanging over the whole thing but i honestly do not trust them to not fuck it up wholly and completely

always something to be referred to indirectly and through hushed whispers. talked around and never about. oh hey btw roxy finally stopped wearing the dysphoria hoodie yessss slay king!!!!

i'd say i'm happy for transmasc homestuck fans even if i wish the series would do better for transfems too, but no that'd be a lie. fuck you i'm smallminded and petty! this sucks and i'm not happy about any of it :D

fun how hs2 stopped running the first time in no small part due to an active harassment campaign against one of the transfems working on it. i wonder if things would still be this utterly shit if that had never happened lmao

basically i hope either in the next update we see vriska bulge and her doing her fucking shot of trollstrogen and like every omega kid is also doing estrogen OR i hope some fucking persona 4 shit happens to roxy. i am not kind or nice. i hope you suffer with me.

jade is a woman with a penis. thank god the epilogues heavily imply it wasn't always this way so we know she's atleast a CIS woman with a penis. BY THE WAY. ROXY LALONDE IS A TRANS GUY. STRAIGHT UP. NO FUCKING BONES ABOUT IT. WE SEE HIS TRANSITION JOURNEY ONSCREEN AND HOW HE AND OTHER PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT HIS GENDER IS SOMETHING THE STORY EXPLORES.

recently while poking around a little on reddit (mistake), i discovered a post on a subreddit called something along the lines of 'leftwingmen' discussing frustration with progressive people refusing to entertain misandry as a concept. this was about as hilarious and pathetic as you would expect, but the top comment suggested using 'trans*ndrophobia' as a foot in the door to get people to admit to the existence of misandry and leverage from there. it is unsurprising and we have known this for some time, but it is still unsettling to see tboy gamergate being uplifted by the same demographic who gave us the original.
