First flower of my house

Harrow wouldn't read yaoi because the notions of romance and sex are almost as disgusting to her as the concept of men. However, if she had to pick, she would read yaoi over yuri, because the most she would feel towards yaoi is disdain, while yuri would vaporize her on the spot.

Baby I’m so sorry but a LOT of white people had periods of time as kids or even early adults where they regularly regurgitated slurs and direct racism and performed cruelty on racialized people. It can legitimately anywhere from “saying slurs on COD at 12” to “putting various unsanitary and hard to remove things into Black classmates hair” to “excluded racialized kids around them because they were yucky/etc.” to “assaulting racialized people around them” to “spent time on /b/ and gained standard 4chan racism brainworms”

You also straight-up can’t guess what it’ll be until they mention it or it jumps out. As an example, back in montana there was a white woman in my local kink community who was generally SO fucking sweet, kind, and caring to everyone around her, including me. One day she posted this on Facebook out of literal nowhere:

And doubled down after I called her on it.

Please understand that “hasn’t deconstructed racist social beliefs” means “can and will use racism when useful or they think they’re safe to, or will engage in white solidarity”

If they haven’t actually put in the work to destroy the white supremacy they’ve been internalizing from society their whole life, this can be basically any white person, at any time, no matter how they’ve behaved previously and how much you think they’d never do something like that.

wow that's wonderful news im glad that a trans woman is getting to join a women's soccer tea-

...oh

Or that there’s genuinely an equal opportunity for trans women to participate in sports (recreationally or professionally) as trans men?

regardless of the fact that most trans sports bans either exclusively or disproportionately target trans women, do you actually believe in earnest that trans women (being evaluated as “effeminate men”) have the same likelihood of being selected for a men’s team as trans men (being evaluated as “butch women”) do for women’s teams?

(I’ll give you a hint: the patriarchal institutions of Men’s Sports do not want to have “sissy fags” on their teams)

Unfortunately, the shitty rules we’re being subjected to are not “the same”

Even if he had to stop HRT in order to play (which does not even appear to be the case for this specific league), the fact remains that testosterone is not being treated as a permanently physiology-altering hormone for him the way it is for trans women.

Trans women having elevated testosterone in their bodies for any period of their lives is used as the primary basis for barring them from competing against cis women, but that same reasoning does not get applied to Isaac Ranson.

His time with elevated testosterone, no matter how long, is disregarded.

So in spite of the fact that there are trans bans affecting “all trans people”, he still gets to play on a soccer team by capitulating to detransition rhetoric. Trans women don’t have that same opportunity. There isn’t a way for us to “play along” with the transphobes to still get what we want like Isaac is doing- there’s only exclusion.

Mark Watney would've been banging on Stratt's door demanding he be tested for the Hail Mary mission, resume in hand before she had time to finish her first speech on the matter

This conversation would not exist if it was a bi flag or a pan flag or an ace flag

Aight here’s a trans woman who’s narrative is thematically linked with her transness in a way that enriches both her story, her characterization, and the story around her who doesn’t ever mention that she’s trans (but y’know she has a trans flag in her room in the background subtly like you asked)

do let me know if there's an issue
