holy shit oh my go what the fuck

i recently experienced some pretty severe transphobic abuse in my workplace (children’s home) that included having food thrown at me, being called slurs, being told i was a pervert because i am trans. one of the managers talked with me afterwards and shared that he had had a similar experience as an Asian man. this wasn’t him derailing my experience, or talking over me, or making things about himself. he was communicating “hey, i know how it feels and how much it sucks. you’re not alone.”

THAT is what solidarity IS. i don’t know what it’s like to be Asian, he doesnt know what it’s like to be trans, but we both had a similar experience and we were able to turn a horrible experience into an opportunity for bonding and comfort.

ranging from ' room for doubt ' to ' completely undeniable ' :

3 . the character is coded in a way where her experiences align with or imply transfem experiences . for example , she has a history of being forced into certain roles against her will , and girlhood for her is analogous to freedom

2 . the character is explicitly identified as a trans woman within the canon of the story she appears in

Hanahaki, but it's someone whose friends have started ghosting them.

Hanahaki, someone's wife is cheating on them.
