Your Toku Fave is a Transmasc/Trans Man
[Submission form is over here]
Hey what's going on over here?
Are you a toku fan? Do you have trans man or transmasc headcanons for toku/toku adjacent characters? I'm doing a blog about that! Come join me in celebrating and spotlighting trans manhood and transmasculinity in tokusatsu characters!
This is a poll for celebration and positivity about trans men and transmasculinity in tokusatsu and adjacent media. I'll be making two posts a day through the month of June (and probably beyond) highlighting a different transmasc or trans man headcanon.
I'm your host Mosswall Grifalinas, and this blog will be emceed by Ankh (from Kamen Rider OOO) and Tani Chiaki (from Samurai Sentai Shinkenger). They're also the mascots for this blog (see header and icon).
Chiaki's dialogue will be written in green
Ankh's dialogue will be written in red
Fuwa is also an honorary mascot who may wander in from time to time. His dialogue will be in blue when he does.
Transmasc and trans man headcanons for toku (and toku adjacent*) media.
Transmasculinity is a broad umbrella and I am not here to gatekeep who counts, so whatever your headcanon, if I feel it counts as a good-faith transmasculine read of the character, I will accept it
A character who could be argued to have been created without a gender but still presents masculinely/as a man will also qualify. Ankh, for example, is a homunculus, but he's a homunculus who chooses a very open and deliberate masculine presentation, which is why he's one of this blog's two mascots
Canon transmasc/trans man Toku/Toku-adjacent characters. I'm not sure they exist but I haven't seen every show, what do I know?
Positivity and celebration of trans men and transmasc headcanons in toku and toku-adjacent media
What this blog is not for:
Trans/nonbinary headcanons that aren't trans men or masc.
Canon trans or nonbinary characters who aren't explicitly transmasc/men. We're not here to take crumbs away from our siblings. Have those headcanons in your own time.
Negativity of any kind. If you don't like a headcanon, just keep scrolling, make your own post or blog, hell, block and move on if you have to. I don't care. Literally I don't caaaaare. Just don't make it my problem.
Bad faith headcanons. I will throw these out if I get any.
*What is Toku-adjacent media?
Toku-adjacent media is media that cannot be defined as Toku, but has some kind of connection with it. Anime and manga that draws from existing Toku properties or the concept, in-universe toku properties and characters, international adaptations of toku shows, shows that exist in conversation with the toku genre while (arguably) not being toku themselves, and also Digimon and Precure because the people who introduced me to Toku framed those as siblings to the genre and that is how I think of them.
Examples of these categories are Kamen Rider SD and Fuuto PI, Cyborg Ciderman from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K and Masked Yaiba from Detective Conan, Power Rangers and VR Troopers, and Tokusatsu Gagaga and Tojima Wants to be a Kamen Rider.
1. Negativity about any headcanon will not be tolerated and may get you blocked. This is a positivity blog and we're going to keep it that way.
2. If you find yourself getting too het up over a silly Tumblr blog about transmasc/trans man headcanons, consider taking a step back from the internet and take care of yourself instead of making it my problem.
3. Please follow the submission form rules when submitting your characters. Mistakes happen but too much disregard for the rules could get your form thrown out. The rules are there to make things easier on me, and when you ignore them, you create extra work for me. Please do not create extra work for me.
4. You're free to use the "let's take testosterone" posters I made if you want. Also there's no reason you can't make your own yourself if you want, but if you don't feel like it and want me to make one for you, feel free to send me the image to use. I'll post them in batches as they get made.
If you have any questions about anything on this post feel free to drop into my inbox and I'll clarify.
