Something, I just realised that really resonated with me about Gwen in Across Spiderverse, is her clothing.
Tumblr media
When around non-spiderfolk adults and at home she wears loose fitting clothing which seems androgynous and hides the shape of her body.
Tumblr media
But, when with Miles and her spider friends, she dresses in tight clothing. She’s clearly comfortable with her body when around friends but she seems to feel the need to hide her figure around people outside her friend group.
Similarly, I struggle with my body and didn’t wear shorts or tight fitting clothing for many years because I had problems with how masculine my legs and torso looked due to body hair and my wide shoulders.
These traits caused much dysphoria until I made more accepting friends when I became more comfortable with wearing shorts, tight tops, jeans and even leggings. My dysphoria became less severe around them because I knew they saw me as a girl. I even realised that some of my features were rather feminine like the shape of my legs and hips (though I don’t have curves) so I started empathising them making me appear more feminine and womanly. My shoulders are also not broad compared to most men and it bacame obvious my dysphoria had been exaggerating certain features.
Whilst at home though, or out with family, I wear baggy clothing which, whilst isn’t masculine, hides my shape so no one can tell my sex because I’m scared of my family’s reaction to seeing me in feminine clothing. Simultaneously, I feel less comfortable because I know they will always see me as a boy.
I know many cis girls and boys, especially in their teens. have body image issues and feel more comfortable showing their figure around friends but, to me, Gwen’s choice of outfits, and how they shape her, is very trans. A lot of cis girls (not all) will still dress fem around family but just not in clothes which emphasise their shape but Gwen chooses to dress androgynously around her dad and is more comfortable showing her shape around friends. Of course, it is her choice how she dresses but there’s a definite contrast between her clothes around friends and her clothes around her dad.
This is just a reading and I don’t know how intended it was but I thought it was a cool and fun approach which I found in this video. (Apologies the link can’t be copied here for some unknown reason so here’s a screenshot.) They cover a lot of readings of the film involving queer theory, race theory and comic history.

Also can we just appreciate how cool Gwen looks in every scene. The gender envy is so strong. <3

One of the most "imposter syndrome" things about me is that I am a trans girl who never wanted or cared about "girl toys." Everybody says I was supposed to want Barbies and whatever, but all I wanted were Transformers and Legos. In fact, that's an excuse my mom gave for arguing with me about whether I was always a girl or not. (I was.)
Like, the fact that I find dress-up dolls and hairbrushes and horses and crap boring as hell is a source of conflict to me. It makes me feel like a "fake" girl. Which I know is stupid, but so are most feelings. Even now, in terms of the media I consume and even the things I write, I tend to shy away from the "for girls" stuff. Yes, I'm a lesbian who doesn't like shoujo. Press F.

This New Year’s party I’m going to try something new
And that is not treating myself in feminine
I’m done with pretending I’m something I’m not and I no longer care if my family thinks “I’m to young to know” and all the other bs I’ve been said over the past 5 years, whether they like it or not, I’m going to start 2024 being myself
Not the “daughter” “sister” “granddaughter” “niece” they think I am
Wish me luck I guess
HOPE ALL OF YOU BEAUTIFUL AND HANDSOME SOULS HAVE THE BEST YEAR EVER!!!
And I hope that someday my family is able to accept and love me as much as they love her….

I just watched a YouTube video and I'm livid. It was about this trans woman named Lilly and she was recording herself getting misgendered in public/restaurants. Everyone was saying she should try to pass more instead of correcting people. BRUH YALL TELLING ME DECENT RESPECT CAN BE TAKEN AWAY IF YOU DONT PASS? I'm so angry rn. My gf doesn't pass. It will probably will take YEARS to get there, and that's if she gets surgery and vocal training. It boggles me that people asking for basic decency is looked down on bc they don't "pass" enough. I'm so sick of passing culture. Cool if you like it tho, I just hate it rn.
Edit: I'm a trans man (genderfluid too) not a trans woman. (making this known bc I feel like talking about trans women issues as a trans man is a bit weird. I feel like I should've woken my gf up to ask what her opinions were)

Transgender
Ever since I was little, I've felt more on the masculine side of the gender spectrum. But when I was a little girl I thought that I wasn't right. My mother had taught me to be against people who are a different gender then their birth gender. My mom had taught me that they will burn in hell, that they will be punished by Christ. And I hated myself for it, I hated feeling like a boy. So I made it up by coming out as lesbian/bisexual. I told my mom my sexuality, and I was severely punished. I wanted to cry in my closet until I died from starvation and dehydration, but I didn't change. I was a "weird tomboy girl" who hated pink, dresses, and barbies. My mom would call me a tranny and make fun of me for it, saying that I acted "unladylike." I pushed myself, my brain, my power, to stay feminine. I wanted to be happy, be at home, be loved. I hated the feeling, though. I wanted to be a boy, I wanted to change. I held my thoughts and crumpled them and threw them away...Only to pick them back up from the trash can in my brain. I had to fix it, I needed to be happy. I couldn't stay cisgender any longer, the dysphoria was only getting more painful. I decided it was time, time to be a boy, be happy.

I am Trans/Agender and I’m trans masc. I go by they/them but don’t have a problem with being mistaken as a man or having more masculine terms used.
However, I hate being referred to as a woman or having feminine terms used. That does not make me misogynistic.
Trans mascs are not misogynistic for not feeling comfortable being referred to as or treated like a woman.
Trans mascs do not go through less struggles or transphobia just because they are masc presenting.
We are not less important because we are masc.
We are deserving of love and support just the same as trans fems.
