#like expression =/= gender

[mattiebluebird]

And if I said genderfluid Cissie would anyone care

#🏳️‍⚧️⁉️ <- my actual reaction to this panel #eugh i LOVE making characters w identity issues trans. exploring the self through gender expression is so so important to me #ALSO a cissie who goes thru a tomboy phase bc her mom hates it but ultimately ends up deciding she likes fem style more but retains that #like. internal feeling of otherness. yk? #like expression =/= gender #cissie king-jones #cissie king jones #young justice 1998 #trans cissie king jones #genderfluid cissie king jones

I do sort of wish western anime fans would analyze anime and manga from a framework of japanese historical and cultural context. Specifically a lot of works from the 90s being influenced by the general aimlessness and ennui that a lot of people were experiencing due to the burst in the bubble economy and the national trauma caused by the sarin terrorist attack. I think in interacting with media that’s not local to our sociocultural/sociopolitical sphere it’s easy to forget that it’s influenced and shaped by the same kinds of factors that influence media within our own cultural dome and there ends up being this baseline misalignment of perception between the causative elements of a narrative and viewer interpretation of those elements. It’s a form of death of the author that i think, in some measure, hinders our ability to fully understand/come to terms with creator intent and the full scope of a work’s merits

#exilley's diary #this is about utena btw like. yeah its feminist and a coming of age horror story but also #it was in part ikuhara’s response to the changes he observed in the corporate anime industry and an attempt to subvert those trends #it doesnt really help that i feel certain aspects of the show are filtered through translation and certain cultural emphasises are lost #like for instance. the blood type symbolism. or wakaba’s gestures with making packed lunches #theyre incredibly japanese expressions of conventional gender roles that non-japanese audiences might not fully resonate with

What I love most about Gandalf big naturals is how much it eases my chest dysphoria. I can sleep without a shirt on now because of Gandalf Big Naturals. Knowing that the artist made the original image while recovering from top surgery and said the image was like a final parting gift from their boobs makes me feel even better about the image's effect on me. Men with big naturals makes me feel much more good about my body than those old posts on here that were like "trans men! Some men have pecs!!! So don't feel dysphoric <3". It's much more meaningful to see a hairy, bearded man with a huge H cup rack not letting his tits get in the way of his masculinity.

Most of all, Gandalf Big Naturals helped me love my body the way it is instead of hating something that's a part of me. Of course I still want top surgery but the fact that I can live with my own big naturals until then without wanting to guillotine them off is really important.

#losers lament #gandalf big naturals #I queued a drawing of Gandalf big naturals where he has a hairy chest and that one's my favorite #since I started t I've been growing chest hair and I really like how my cleavage looks with the hair #so when I saw that picture i knew that I would be able to keep the love for hairy big naturals #instead of losing them forever when my own hairy big naturals get removed #and it's like I'm giving them to him #I love the way gender expression has progressed on this webbed sight

It's fine for your transition goals to be a man who wears dresses or a woman who wears tuxes or a person of indeterminate or queer gender wearing literally any combination thereof (or lack of combination, for that matter)

The point of transition is not to fit yourself into the cookie-cutter boxes. The point is for you to be able to exist as you. There is nothing wrong with being a "stereotype" or looking "queer". You are radiant and amazing <3

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #kind of weird to see this odd gnc-phobia from people like... it's fine to be trans and not be 'neatly' your gender #i've just seen some weird things from others that presenting your gender in a nonconforming way is problematique and wrong and ????? #although not everybody expressing their gender in a way society sees as nonconforming will be gnc #gnc is something you claim for youself - if you're just a person wearing clothes then that's accurate to say yknow? #like for me personally i don't always see myself as gnc. i just see myself as a man who Does Things Sometimes

huge ew at all the people who erase the bisexuality of the bg3 companions. they aren't "playersexual," they aren't "gay coded" or "lesbian coded," there are MANY instances of them expressing romantic and/or sexual interest in other characters of varying genders. and not just your tav. it's not a suggestion, it's part of who they are no matter who your tav is.

#bg3 #thoughts about media #you can obviously see certain companions have a preference #which is a normal thing for any bisexual to have! #and it's equally as normal for a bisexual to have no preference! #but astarion clearly favouring men doesn't make him gay #karlach having flirtatious interactions with shadowheart doesn't make her a lesbian #gale being terribly hung up on his ex girlfriend doesn't make him straight #bisexual means a whole array of different expressions of attraction to all genders #it doesn't just mean whatever halsin has going on lmao #and that's not to say i'm against companions in games like these being gay/lesbian/straight #but that's NOT what bg3 did

As someone who is genderfae (microlabel under genderfluid), I have a lot of different experiences with gender.

I just wish someone told me sooner that it won't go like "today I'm a girl" "today I'm an enby" but more like ,,, "today I am a swamp witch" "today I am a feminine victorian vampire boy" "today I am a forest goblin collecting people's stares about my gender expression like shiny rocks on the ground" "today I'm an androgynous pirate lady"

Like,,, sure, are those real genders? I don't fucking now. If a cisgender person asked me what I identify as that day, would I answer like that? No, definitely not.

But to my genderqueer, trans and genderfluid friends; do you get me? I can't be alone with this, right?

#genderfluid #genderfae #gender expression #genderqueer #transgender #nonbinary #queer #questioning my gender yet again #gender crisis #gender #my gender soup has so many flavours you don't understand #i needed to explain to my friend that when i say i want to dress like the cutest victorian inspired goth vampire prince #it's not actually a male gender #like.. you would really think it is #but that is a very nonbiney gender somehow #don't ask me how #or maybe it does count as male? #but the femininest androgynous male you can think of #like cute pretty let me giggle like a little girl kinda feminine #i don't even know if half of these things make sense #“why don't you just say girl or enby” #because moon witch dark cottagecore female isn't the same #as go out in the sun and enjoy the breeze i command a ship androgynous pirate lady female #anyways

In light of F1nn5ter coming out as gender-fluid I’m gonna need all of you who were bitching about him “appropriating” trans culture to fucking apologize

#like his gender expression is his to do with as he pleases so what if he’s making money off of it #f1nn5ter

For those of you wondering about Les's mysterious younger sibling. It's Hed, he's the little brother.

They share a mom who was a rock troll. Les's dad is funk, and Hed's dad is rock, but he lived in Vibe City since very young so he's also basically mixed genre like his bro.

In the second pic he's singing/rapping Tastes Just Like Chicken by Scatterbrain. I feel like this is the kind of music he would make when younger.

and bonus: meet the nominees for the worst parents award

#trolls #dreamworks trolls #ex bandmates #my art #I feel like trolls' music genres are based in their genes (race) #but are also an amalgamation of their upbringing. culture. and perhaps even gender (🤔) #like it's an integral part of their self expression that they can't live happily without #and like all those things many have a clear relationship with it while with some it's not so cut-and-dried #and they need a while to figure it all out #I chose the parents genres solely based on what the brothers' genres derive from irl because I'm a little obsessed with the little details #they are also whatever is the troll equivalent of potheads and crackheads. also drunks... #also just awful trolls all around #the brothers really hit a jackpot with them #trolls oc #les #hed

i love how much we mess around with pronouns and a characters gender expression in the good omens fandom its brilliant like you could post a picture of crowley presenting very masculine and the comments would be "HER" "SHES SO AMAZING" "MY WIFE" etc etc

#not that gender expression = pronouns #but we do like to mess around with it dont we #and i love that #good omens #gos2

i'm genderqueer as in genderstrange. it is weird, it is fucked up in every way. my gender is, and it is not. it is mine, and mine alone. i twist it and wind it and fuck it up more. i am everything. i am nothing. my gender is weird. and i love it.

all the critiques of the “male presenting” bit in the star beast are valid and true (patronizing, kind of bioessentialist, etc) however i think we’ve been ignoring the funniest part of the whole thing which is like. he was a woman like three hours ago. you don’t need to give him a lecture about What Women Are Like. he knows. and even when he was a woman he still bottled shit up so your argument is moot anyway

#and like i know that rtd was making a very conscious effort to use inclusive language in the ep #which i appreciate!! congrats on Baby’s First Trans Allyship!! #but the way they phrased it as ‘male-PRESENTING’ people don’t know how to express their emotions was. weird #i mean if rtd went out of his way to include ‘presenting’ in there then he’s clearly at least somewhat aware that presentation and gender #aren’t the same thing #i’m fairly male-presenting (at least i try to be) but i’m not a man? #lots of butches could be considered male-presenting (oversimplification but you know what i mean) #there was probably even a time in rose’s life when SHE was male-presenting!! #i appreciate the attempt at inclusivity but like. this doesn’t make sense rtd aldjdbaqldk #bucky’s thoughts #doctor who #the star beast #tenth doctor #fourteenth doctor #tentoo #donna noble #rose noble
