sure you can do what you want with your trans headcanons but dont you want to explore the themes of the work. dont you want to see characters who actually have experiences like yours be the ones who are like you. laios' experience is simply not a transmasculine one, but it is a very, very transfeminine one

laios feels rejected by other men, bullied relentlessly by then as a child in all-male settings, and seems to feel safer with women BUT also feels innately like a predator around them (always keeping physical distance, terrified that others would even THINK he was attracted to marcille). he does everything in his power to seem safer and smaller and models much of his body language after like cute girls (i dont have the panel on hand, but the way he plays with the rim of his plate and then shyly looks up while pouting his lip when asking marcille if she wanted to stay on the island instead of go to jail is one example, but theres a lot. a lot.). hes envious of and idolizes his sister, sees her as more deserving of life than him. all these themes together are a very transfeminine themed character: the desire to become a monster (and even more his desire to become a dog) speaks to a desire to shed more his manhood than humanity outright. being a man specifically seems to limit him

there are a number of characters with more transmaculine themes. senshis desire to be a man in his own way, without the need for 'iron in his veins' (also very gay). chilchucks (and all halffoots) adoption of toxic masculine traits in order to 'pass' as a grown man when people refuse to see him as such, despite the damage it does to himself and to the women he loves. Kabrus feeling that he's just his foster mother's doll + the thing where a little girl who looks just like him sees the dungeon opening. falins tendency to go with whatever others want for her until she is fused with a (male) dragon and suddenly finding that she knows what she wants and is willing to assert herself to get it. lycions whole allegorical transition and the very firm assertion that he is a man in the adventurers bible despite being quite manly for an elf already. izutsumi reads the same both transmaculinely and transfemininely. otta, tbh. wont get into that one.

laios i think only makes sense as a transfeminine character

#i like these thoughts #transfem toshiro transfem toshiro #grow up with social pressure and expectation to become a proper lord #so trained to do what is expected of him that he can't even know what he feels #fully surrounded by women growing up and as his subortinate later #not in a horny way but being with women just feel right for him #yet there is this uncomfortable gap between him and them #he can't seem to get close to them but he doesn't know what #then he meet Falin who is all he ever wished he could be #bug enjoyer loved by everyone honest with herself and others #Toshiro feel these feelings so strong and complicated about Falin #and unable to process them properly he conclude it's love and propose to her #but the undertone are more envy than love #he want to be this woman but the closest he can't get there is by being with her #So for the first time in his life he act selfish #by asking everyone to help rescue her #and he start to grow up and close the gap with his subordinate by pursuing Falin #Toshiro is soooo trans #toshiro nakamoto #dungeon meshi
