I've tried to socialize with the cishets. I have.
There are these kids in my Marine science class, and we are talking. They seem to be all right people. I don't think they're homophobic or anything.
But they have a LOT of questions. And normally I don't have a problem with questions. But, they ask the same questions multiple times. For some reason they can understand being bisexual, and they can understand being trans, but they can't understand being trans and bisexual.
It's just an endless cycle of
"so you're a man"
"yes"
"but you used to be a girl"
"yeah for simplicity's sake let's go with that"
"but you like men"
"yes"
"and women too?"
"yes."
"how does that work"
"there's no reason it wouldn't?!?!"
They literally have nothing to do with each other. Literally nothing. They do not interact. They are separate concepts. I have black hair and I am short. My black hair doesn't impact my shortness. Like at all.
If you know where the confusion is coming from let me know I'm genuinely curious.
Back in my day, "MAP" stood for Multi Animator Project and they were made up of cat drawings
As complex my feelings are about giving Aaravos a tragic backstory, I feel like it should be pointed out that it probably never occurred to him that he could lose Leola. Most human parents when they have kids know, while unlikely, their kids can die before they do. It's still shocking when it happens of course, but we all know that horrible things happen to children every day. Star touch elves are functionally immortal. He probably thought that the worst thing that could happen to her was her getting really hurt. Nothing permanent or unfixable.
It must've been incredibly shocking for him to lose her, when he didn't even realize he could.
me, trying to explain to a cis guy why a certain character is transmasc: seven years is a long time to be living as a man when you don't have to
The cis guy: ehh not really
Me: would you live as a woman unprompted for seven years knowing you're not gonna get anything out of it
Him: no
Me: so he's transgender
Him: well that's different

Everyone has their own idea of what they want a trans man to be. Feminine. Hypermasculine. Quiet. Whatever.
And I feel like these separate ideals work in tandem to push trans men away from the queer community and people in general.
Most people want us to be realitively feminine. More feminine than the average man at least. They act really uncomfortable whenever we become masculine, especially when we start passing. Feminity is pushed upon us, so you'd think they'd be nicer to feminine trans men, but they're not.
The same exact people who get uncomfortable whenever I almost pass, whenever I look as masculine as is realistically achievable in my current situation, will shame me whenever I'm letting my feminine side come through.
"What's the point of being a man when you talk like that? When you wear eyeliner and knit and and have very feminine interests? You should just go back to being a girl"
If you're uncomfortable being called "girl" or "a girlie" and other terms, you're just as bad as cis men who say "I'm not a girl" when they're referred to that way.* But if we allow it and we're not uncomfortable with it, then there's no point in being a man and you should go back to being a girl.
now for the most part, I am mostly speaking about cishet people. But there are a few members of the queer community who have sort of pushed toxic masculinity onto trans men for no other reason but because they're men. (Cough cough transmeds) And I've noticed that cishet people's view of trans men has crept into queer spaces, at least online, in recent times. And maybe it's always been there. I'm a baby trans, for the most part, and perhaps I'm just now noticing it.
But trans men can't win.
*Side note I don't see the problem with a cis guy being uncomfortable being called girl or girlie. We all forget that cis people have gender dysphoria. As long as they're not assholes about it the first time it happens, it's whatever. It's not a sign of misogyny. They might just feel uncomfortable being referred to as such. Obviously, trans men are more likely to be uncomfortable being referred to with such terms, because we've had femininity pushed on us our entire lives and it can feel a bit like a slap in the face, but there are cis men out there who are considered more feminine due to various factors, like their race in the case of Asian men, and they might be uncomfortable with it for similar reasons. also even if it's a white guy who is cis and doesn't like being called that, I don't have a problem with it and we should be focusing on other matters. Sorry there's a lot of runons in there.
Paige Mahoney did Scion 9/11 because she was a terrorist and attacked one of the towers but didn't hit both of them.
this is why I hate fandom
Several Years Later
Sorry the art is kinda lazy. It's more of a vent comic. Also sorry Mizu is bald. I tried giving them hair but it looked weird next to the other characters without hair.
If I had a nickel every time this happened in the fandom of a show I really liked, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it pisses me off that it's happened twice.
I don't care how you read a character. I care how you treat others who read that character differently than you do. Because other people's headcannons don't affect yours. Characters are not some pie that gets taken away from the more headcanons are made about them.
It costs 0 dollars to not be a piece of shit.
