#xirl

I got a comment on the trans Mass Effect characters post that pointed out that Edi really is transfem all things considered, not tagging them because I don't know if they'd want that, but it made me think A LOT about her gender, so with the help of a friend who really really likes pride flags, we scrounged up a bunch of feminine aligned genders that feel like Edi.

Some of them are your run of the mill transfeminine, some of them are nonbinary girl or agender woman, some of them are more complex relationships with feminine identity, and there's a robogender for good measure.

It was really fun thinking about how she may relate to human notions of gender in relation to being an AI or a ship, or how people may interpret her being gendered as a woman from a queer perspective (I the OP am genderqueer) since it's seemingly done in canon because she's got a feminine voice and is, well, a ship, a thing often gendered that way.

Anyway that had us thinking about Joker, logically, they're married, I don't make the rules I just play the game right, and the way he talks about falling in love with the Normandy is something I could talk about for hundreds of hours. As a disabled person as well, it's heartening to hear him talk about something that clearly gives him a level of autonomy that not only he lacks physical ability to take for himself, but has been taken from him multiple times, especially with such affection. It speaks to a deeper reason he releases EDI from her shackles. She, too, lacks an autonomy by the very nature of her form, that Joker hands back to her willingly long before she gets a body. I think that's inherently a queer, disabled love story, down to it's core.

Anyway, this is a stamp post.

So, the disabled brigade that follows me everywhere snapping their fingers on one hand while using their canes with the other convinced me to make some objectum/techtum/technosexual Joker stamps too. Because he talks about loving that ship more than I can ever imagine him loving a human being. I think it's important that EDI is the ship, to the affection the two of them have for each other.
