Is Shouma really the trans rep y'all want? Someone who had no agency in their metaphorical puberty blockers and was forced and threatened into 'taking' them, hated it for years, and eventually decided 'yeah i guess it's pretty neat i'm still youthful but also but also fuck that guy who did this to me?' Is this not just a right wing talking point about how doctors are abusing innocent children with irreversible surgeries to trans their genders being with trans-positive paint? I think reclaiming transphobic narratives them can be powerful, but the context of Nirvana Initiative canon this doesn't feel like 'reframing conservative beliefs' so much as just. Doing their arguments beat by beat including the medical abuse part and saying 'its good actually we want this.'

I haven't seen works transformative enough that change the text so Shouma wasn't abused into the early stages of her transition, or that she was actually willing to take the abuse and deception once she learned about it to see if it could get her what she wants for her body, and her grievances are with the abuse alone. It's just treated as a given that canon is exactly as we know it to be, and the ends justify the means.

Maybe a controversial take, but I just think a lot of transcanons are poorly considered, genderbent or no. This isn't specific to aitsf, and I'm also not saying anyone who likes them are just as bad, even for the ones I don't like at all like this one. They are popular with trans people first and foremost, that would be a bizarre claim; I'm not your dad, fandom should make you happy, do whatever. My beef is that as far as I have seen, a lot of the popular ones in trans fan communities are done by picking some part of the text, ignoring the context it exists in, and then using that detail to justify the hc, even if the context flies against it, and without providing any new context to supplement or even replace the old one. We're just left to assume that everything else is the same still, and transitioning is often the focus of genderbent ones making it stranger. In the case of transfem!shouma, this style of creation just like accidentally leans into transphobic ideas, but even for characters where it's not doing that, they're still similarly thoughtless. Transmasc Kuranushi Mizuki has its own popularity, to distinguish her from Date Mizuki, but like...that's it. No one posts about what it would mean for his character, their life, it's an aesthetic decision alone. It means nothing other than the petty fan grievance or wish-fullfilment that inspired it.

That laziness is what I hate the most. Fandom is transformative, those transformations have the power to be extremely beautiful and compelling and meaningful. They can elevate the text into something more than what it was. I love that. I am a trans person who loves good art. That's why the way trans headcanons are made and portrayed is so irritating to me, because they feel low effort. People will say they have thought about them a lot, and maybe you have! But if all of that consideration is in a private discord server, that means nothing to me. I refuse to consider the merits of context I have no access to. If the context exists, put it in your work!! I just want better art than that.

Fandom wants to be taken seriously. It wants to be treated as art, and yet it also wants to be treated as just a fun hobby unworthy of criticism, but I don't think you get to have both. You cannot position your creations as art, your community as an artistic one worthy of respect, and yet its immune to the treatment all art and art communities get: criticism. I just want more thoughtful and considered fanworks. I want transcanons, even if they exist for a ship, or out of spite, or for fun aus and comedy fan-comics, to be taken just a bit more seriously and with more effort.

Not me being nervous to share my transcanons, even though if I REALLY think about it, I shouldn't be nervous. Because, well, people are trans sometimes. It shouldn't be a controvertial thing. It's not like people can just,, not be trans. Also, they're *MY* transcanons, and *I* like them. So, why tf does my brain have to be nervous to share them :'( xD

I don't remember my actual in depth first impression but I'm positive I found you through the comment section of the confessions blog posts. And there's no need for me to regret following you even if I don't recall how I decided to, because you have great opinions and are very onboard with transcanons. I love you platonically and appreciate your company 🧡

I would be found in the confession blog replies XD that place is so much fun but such a headache at the same time and i feel for the mod putting up with everything. They deserve all of the hugs

And you! You are amazing!

All the trans characters on this here blog, i love them. I love all of your Oc’s even if i forget names and sometimes get confussed. I love your devotion to shin (you call it weird but let’s face it i am EXACTLY the same about Kakashi XD)

[yamanaka-shin]

Shin!!!

I should hunt you for sport

Orientation headcanon: aromantic and bisexual! the aro part is brand new, just figured that out within the past week.

Gender headcanon: DFAB AGENDER, MY BELOVED FAVORITE TRANSCANON I HAVE

Some ships: Fuu Yamanaka/Shin, Ino/Shin, Kabuto/Shin, and I like the idea of Kiba/Shin. as for OC/canon, Haruka/Shin is very beloved to me (thanks Jess for having such a wonderful OC).

BROTP: aside from with Sai obviously? Itachi, oddly enough. and Torune. I also like platonic KabuShin very very much.

NOTP: OBVIOUSLY with Sai. but hmmmm. I don't think they would go well with Hinata or Shino.

Random headcanon: FUUMA CLAN KID

General opinion: if you don't know by now, consider yourself lucky

Pls go off about trans hibari plssss

HFJSHFG thank you for this ask!! ;; actually i have a post about my hibari hcs in my drafts (i still need to finish writing it...) and trans hibari is the first of the list, but i dont mind saying it here before posting that one www

hibari is the first character i ever headcanoned as a trans guy, and it actually started when i read a fic about trans hibari a few years ago. i didnt like the characterization in that fic but since then i always thought the transcanon was Very Very Great

over time, the reason behind my transcanon became something 100% personal. it’s a projection tbh since im trans myself LMAO and since hibari is one of my all times fave characters, i find much comfort in hc-ing him as trans, as well as giving him some of my own experiences as a trans person

this said! i hc that hibari has identified as a boy since early age and made sure that everyone always treated him as such (hibari voice: transphobes begone)

also and this is another self projection he doesnt have dysphoria!

it's a nb leverage kinda night so i ALSO am thinking hard about eliot Super Delayed Adolescence Queer Trope'ing it up and only once he's really really Mostly Shock Silver Hair retired he's like. fuck maybe im not Man. and it just cracks something deep in eliot that is so vulnerable and destabilizing but also thrilling and perfect? its a super sore topic in the thiefsome household because he clings to he/him which is fine (but also not? but also let eliot be eliot and process on eliot's own pace but also eliot is too good at repressing shit UGH). but! unlike parker who is flexible with their afabness/womanness, eliot starts breathing hard at any gendered epithet and sometimes when there's too many he's in a row. so there's definitely a way hardison and parker's language shifts so they two have more reason to use second person & eliot's name & things like Spouse and Person and Hitter and Theirs.

beyond that, not much changes but also a lot of little things change? i just imagine parker french braiding eliot's hair all the time once his dexterity's really gone to absolute shit so he can't flat iron it anymore. but now, more often rather than occasionally as they did before, they will do elaborate braid crowns that eliot'll grumble about but love. eliot grows out his hair a little longer. meanwhile, hardison out here trying to desperately support the Retired Portlandia Bookshop Owner / Farmers Market Crunchy Granola Dyke Realness eliot is so primed to fucking bless the world with. like! shaking, tears in his eyes, hardison """"casually"""" shows eliot an etsy listing for beige overalls with embroidered flowers and a tiny little baby so teeny tiny carrot near one of its ergonomic clasps and hardison's like hahahhhh do you think parker would like this? and they really wouldn't but ELIOT would and so eliot grumbles ...maybe and when it comes in the mail OOPS its the WRONG size (nevermind that somehow its a certain SOMEONE'S exact measurements) and eliot just snatches it out of hardison's hands before he can pretend he'll send it back with a harsh HOW DARE YOU MAKE THIS HORRIBLE MISTAKE note to the maker.

this is how eliot's affirming closet starts building very very quickly. and it feels like so good to have these pieces thrown in to the usual fare. the first thing eliot gets himself though is a super comfy black batwing dress that is easy to pull on when he's having a pain scale 23 pain day instead of the usual 11 and he lounges in it and curls up and hardison and parker take sweet good care of their beloved hitter.

Every Last Character in Doom* is trans, especially Doomguy. And VEGA. And The Marauder. And the Cacodemons. 

*Everyone except Doomguy’s old CO that he put in a body cast for trying to commit war crimes.
