no but the thing is. they KISSED. on screen. it was a real scene, not deleted, not removed from a script, it HAPPENED in front of the world's eyes. and AND the actors are normal about it and the whole cast and crew is normal about it and it's not vague and it's IMPORTANT. no matter the rest of it and what came after it, it happened!!

mom avoids dead anime mom curse because he transitions. he’s always had a complicated relationship with pregnancy because of how woefully little people are told about potential complications and aftercare, and also because of how gendered it is, so after the birth of his second child he’s finally had it and decides to transition
he joins a local community group for mothers and at first it’s played for laughs how often they fall to the dead mom curse, but soon we find out more about how society has failed mothers and people who give birth, from information being withheld, procedures being carried out without consent, lack of accommodations and maternal and paternal leave, racism…
it also turns out that becoming a man doesn’t help with this, not really, because being a pregnant trans man brings its own problems. follow along as he learns more about being a parent and a mother, and maybe even… finding love???
coming to you never because I can’t write!

after weeks i’m re-watching guapoduo/spiderbit povs and i noticed one thing that is so them; technically, they saw and shared each others mind literally.
the first one, obviously, is q!cellbit who, after q!roier respected the fact he has a special place —his own mind physically— and waited outside, let him in his most protected place to hang out together, having specials conversations after revealing q!cell’s traumas.
on q!roier side, in purgatory day twelve roier shared his screen and cellbit watched the whole thing, even if it was for the competition, i found so curious how if we bring that in a lore/canon context is like q!cellbit was on q!roier’s mind while he asked him to do things, fighting together for a win.
and now, where q!roier has like a mixed mind with q!quackity and q!cell, was q!cell who managed more of his actions, letting him as q!cell see richas again and take care of pepito as his new son (for this one, i prefer to consider like that day q!roier’s mind was so tired and missed his best friend and husband so much so as a copy mechanism he bringed their personalities, even if q!cell said he was q!roier, it was to cover his mental state to others. we know q!roier has different voices in his mind canonically).
in the case of q!cellbit he let q!roier know his physically mind to share his story, stay together with his son and even decor the walls with some drawings q!roier does to support his husband when he just wants to be in that place alone. for q!roier side, he let q!cellbit know his mind in his most vulnerable state, purgatory and after purgatory, where he just needs someone there too to not handle all his responsibilities alone.

"[Elizabeth Woodville's] piety as queen seems to have been broadly conventional for a fifteenth-century royal, encompassing pilgrimages, membership of various fraternities, a particular devotion to her name saint, notable generosity to the Carthusians, and the foundation of a chantry at Westminster after her son was born there. ['On other occasions she supported planned religious foundations in London, […] made generous gifts to Eton College, and petitioned the pope to extend the circumstances in which indulgences could be acquired by observing the feast of the Visitation']. One possible indicator of a more personal, and more sophisticated, thread in her piety is a book of Hours of the Guardian Angel which Sutton and Visser-Fuchs have argued was commissioned for her, very possibly at her request."
-J.L. Laynesmith, "Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight's Widow", "Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, Dynasty"

like we are on our nine billionth positivity post for cis men with beards and masculine trans men and feminine lesbians and bi people in m/f relationships and nb people who are comfortable passing as their agab etc.... do we need more? is straight people not being able to tell you're gay/trans really the biggest issue facing lgbt people right now?
there seems to be this undiminishable reservoir of care and sympathy for the very idea of having ur queerness slighted in any context. meanwhile people who never get the choice whether or not to hide it are routinely dehumanised, othered, and ignored. if the issues facing these groups do get discussed it's almost never with much concern for their feelings. invalidation and erasure may be one of the issues facing lgbt people and it deserves attention too but I really don't think you can claim at this point that it isn't getting its fair share already.
for what it's worth, even your hypothetical most flaming butch lesbian/fem gay man/androgynous nb person etc still meets people who assume they're cishet, who even actively refuse to acknowledge that they're not. the false equivalence between erasure and overt prejudice alleged exclusively by those who largely experience only the former is in fact erasing the reality of people who experience both
