Fandom: Genshin Impact Pairing: Arlecchino x fem!Reader Rating: Explicit/18+ Warnings: smut, oral sex, sexual tension, switching, teasing, dominance. Word Count: 2,870 Summary: Two formidable figures meet in a clandestine rendezvous, their identities veiled behind playful banter and seductive glances. Their encounter takes a thrilling turn as they unveil their extraordinary abilities, indulging in a symphony of sensations that transcends the physical realm. They explore the depths of pleasure and power, each revelation igniting a fierce desire for more.

“So.” She got up from the chair she was sitting on before turning her gaze towards you. “To whom do I owe the pleasure?”

“Who is asking?” You say.

She giggles, "No, no, not how this works, my dear rabbit. You must introduce yourself first.”

You blush a little from her giggles. “I’m Y/N, Leader of the Akademiya .”

“I am Arlecchino, the Knave of House of the Hearth. You just said the leader of the Akademiya? Hm... I never knew the Akademiya would be led by such a young person...” Both of you head towards the chairs to take a seat.

"Oh, thank you. I know I look young, but to tell you sincerely, I’m not necessarily that young.“

“Hmm... You don't look older than thirty. How old are you really?”

“Well... we can say that I have my methods of keeping me in the same state and not aging.”

She raised an eyebrow in response to this. “Are you saying... how old are you actually?”

You smile at Arlecchino. “I will let you guess.“

“Hm... That is not a bad idea.” She crossed her arms again, thinking to herself before saying. “Well... you know, you don't strike me as the... ancient type. There is a kind of ageless feeling about you... I'm thinking more in the range of 300–400 years, plus or minus.”

“You surely have luck when it comes to guessing.“

She giggled once more before saying. “Oh really? So I was right with my guess?” She tilted her head a little bit to the side, her lips curling up as she raised a single eyebrow in surprise.

“Indeed, I'm the leader of Akademiya, alongside the archon, obviously.” You roll your eyes at the mention of the archon. “But I am the active leader.” You smile at her.

“Ohoho... so that's why you have so much authority...” She giggled quietly and leaned back on the chair, her hands on her hips now, as she said. “I wonder... do you have any other 'abilities' other than not aging?”

“I would not let all my secrets out, Knave.” You smile.

She giggled at that, a playful smile stretching across her face. “Oh? You're so secretive.” She raised an eyebrow at you then. “Or do you just intend to keep them to yourself for a future surprise?”

“Depends... I don’t know people’s real intentions, so I better keep them just for myself until the need to use them arrives.”

She leaned forward, tapping her chin, as she thought about what you were saying. “Hmm... Fair. Fair. But surely... you're not completely against showing others the full extent of your capabilities, right?”

“Are you that curious, Knave? Or did you just get interested in me?” You smirk at her, leaning forward, wanting to get closer to her.

She leans more forward, her gaze fixed on you. “What if I am?” She spoke with a teasing tone in her voice. “Is it bad if I am curious about your capabilities?”

“Not at all. But how do I know that you don’t intend on using them against me?”

She tilted her head to the side. “And if I do?” The smile on her face remained even as she said this.

You smirk, leaning back and looking at her with intense, half closed eyes and a little threatening look. “You are playing with fire Fatui.” You pronounce the last part hard.

She smirked right back at you, her gaze equally as intense, if not more. “Oh, but fire is my favorite element.” Her smirk broadened, and her voice became a hint more erotic. ”You know, I think I am having a little trouble understanding something. You are clearly powerful. Yet... you are still afraid of showing the full extent of your power...”

You start laughing. ”Who says I was afraid?”

She chuckled a bit along with you. “The fact that you're so hesitant to show anything of your capabilities?” Her head tilted to the side again, a playful smile on her face as she said. “If you weren't afraid of showing me, you would have done so by now.”

You giggle “And if you weren’t so eager to jump to conclusions, you would have understood that I’m cautious.”

She laughed at that, still playing along with your teasing. “Oh? Am I so eager?” She smirked at that, and her voice took a flirty tone. “Or perhaps... I'm just too intrigued to know what other wonderful abilities you may have.”

“And maybe now I’m so interested too. So maybe we could show each other our abilities.” You are responding to her flirting.

She smirked in response to your proposition. “Perhaps we could...” She leaned forward again, her gaze and smirk intensifying as she replied. “After all... I wouldn't want you to be the only one showing your secrets.”

“Good then” You smirk from your leaned back position, analyzing her more now that you can see her expression closer.

She chuckled softly at you. “Ah... I see you're interested.” She leaned more forward, her gaze turning even sultrier than before.

“What do you suggest?”

She giggled as you asked this. “Hm... Well, how about...” She smirked. “You show me just one of your special abilities...and I show you one of mine." Her voice was still a flirty one as she said this, her eyes sparkling as they locked onto yours.

You grin “I don’t think that’s fair, I’ve already told you about one of my abilities, now it's your turn.”

She smiled back at you. “Oh, fair enough. But if I'm going to show you one of my abilities...” Her voice became more sultry as she spoke. “...then you better prepare yourself for something spectacular.”

"Oh, you would like it, I’m sure.“ You say confident.

She smirked, rolling her eyes at your own confidence. “Of course I would.” She spoke in a flirtatious tone once more.

She smiled mysteriously as she spoke. “You want to know what my abilities are?” Her hands now rested on her hips again as she leaned back in her chair. “How about I... surprise you?”

“Then please surprise me.”

She smirked at you. “Alright.” Her arm stretched out, and a shadow suddenly formed in front of you, shaped into her hand. The shadow then grabbed your hand.

She then started concentrating her energy on her ability. After a few seconds, her eyes started to glow with the same glowing shadow. The world seemed to shake ever so slightly as she did so.

An intense feeling of ecstasy and pleasure shot through your body, overwhelming you as your mind became a mess of conflicting sensations. Her grip started to get painful at this point, but the sensations continued, and you heard her voice echo in your head.

You looked to see that Arlecchino's grip on your hand had not faded despite the overwhelming sensations. You felt her grip tighten even more as you thought about this, making the sensations even more intense.

You then heard her voice in your head. “Relax your body... let the sensations flow...”

You start to relax, and the sensations do indeed start flowing through, becoming more and more intense as they do so. The pleasure was almost too much at this point, the ecstasy taking over. You still felt her grip on you, but the sensation of pain from it started to dissolve as the sensation continued. Despite her hold being as strong as ever, you could have sworn it felt like one of the most tender things you've ever felt on your skin.

You let out a little moan after getting carried away, you realize it and snap out of her trance.

Arlecchino was caught off-guard by your moan, her grip relaxed after this happened. You suddenly felt your body start to tingle from her ability, but the sensations slowly began going away, leaving only a strong pleasure behind. She looked you in the eye as she smiled, clearly having taken notice of this.

You clear your voice. “I suppose it's my time to show you one of my abilities?”

She smirked at you as she said. “Yes... I suppose it is.” She released her grip on you and looked back at you expectingly, waiting for you to show her your abilities.

You’ve had other plans, actually, but seeing how dirty she is playing, you need to get yourself on the same level.

You decide to use one of your abilities, which are some living vines, and start unleashing them. They penetrate the floor around Arlecchino’s chair and start going up for her. After some seconds, her hands and legs are covered in vines, and some of them start getting under her clothes. The vines start transmitting a tingling sensation all over her body that transforms into something more pleasurable, feeling like something is caressing and kissing her whole skin.

She looked shocked as she witnessed the vines covering her whole body. The sensations were indeed pleasant as her body shivered and her breath caught in her throat. The sensations continued as her breathing quickened, making her shivers ever so slightly more pronounced. She looked at you, her lips curling into a slight smirk as she spoke through her shivers.

“...well played...” She suddenly looked at you expectantly, her tone returning to being flirtatious. “But... are you done already?”

“You want me to be done with this?”

She giggled a little, her voice still flirtatious. ” ...do you have something even more special hidden away?”

As she speaks, some of your vines go into her private areas and start doing their things. "Actually, yes, but I think now is your turn again.” You smirk, enjoying her little shakes of pleasure.

Her body shivered intensely as the vines started touching her more intimate areas. Her hands clenched into fists as she bit her lip, feeling the tingling sensations all over her skin. She started to breathe more heavily as the sensation spread to her most sensitive areas, making her shivers more noticeable.

“Oh...” She breathed out slowly. “...I have to admit you are quite the surprise...”

Her shakes and shivers worsened as the sensations from your vines continued, intensifying. The sensations were becoming almost too much for her, but her expression remained the same, enjoying all this attention she was suddenly getting. She clenched her hands more as she breathed in slowly and out rapidly, her lips curling into a smile...

You get up and go in front of her, looking down at her, having your legs touch hers, and you decide to get a knee on the chair right in between her thighs. “So tell me, Arlecchino, what do you have in mind now?”

She looked up at you as you did this, a flirty grin on her face as she replied. “Nothing yet...” She raised an eyebrow as she said this. “But I am considering a couple of possibilities...” She smiled seductively, raising her fingers to brush up against your leg.

"Oh, and what are those?” You enjoy her little touch.

She moved her hands up a bit higher along your thigh as she smirked. “Well... I just might go ahead and... “ She paused for a second. “...do this”

She leaned forward and placed her lips on your thigh, beginning to trace them along it. Her tongue then came out and began softly licking your thigh.

You retrieve your vines and grab her head as you enjoy her kisses that send shivers down your body.

She smirked as she continued. The soft licks of her tongue sent waves of excitement through your body, making you shiver ever so slightly from the pleasurable sensation.

Her tongue started getting a bit bolder with its licks, though, slowly increasing in intensity as she pressed her lips on your thigh and continued to trace them along it.

Her lips then began to travel up your thigh, moving closer to the sensitive area between your legs and lifting your skirt ever so slightly. Her warm breath was washing over your skin, sending chills down your spine as her tongue continued to tease your surrounding areas. With a sly smile, she whispered, "You like this, don't you? I can make you feel even better by showing you my ability... if you let me."

As her lips neared the sensitive area between your legs, her eyes fixed on yours, waiting for your consent. Her breath hitched ever so slightly, signaling her anticipation, and she awaited your response. The anticipation and the feeling of being completely in her control left you at a loss for words, but your nod and blush gave her the green light to continue.

Her tongue then gets into the warm, wet crevice between your legs, gently probing and stroking with the utmost precision. You gasped, the overwhelming sensations coursing through your body. She licked and nibbled, savoring each tremble and moan that escaped your lips, taking control of your pleasure with fierce determination.

Arlecchino's skilled tongue continued its exploration, teasing your most sensitive spots as she pulled back a bit, her mouth wet with your essence, looking up at you, wanting to savor your lustful expression. She trailed her tongue upwards again, eliciting more gasps and moans from you, each one sending a shudder through her own body as her dominant nature reveled in the control she held over you.

Her grip on your hips tightened, urging you to match the rhythm of her sensual assault. As she continued, her pace picked up, the intensity of her ministrations left you on the edge of ecstasy. You could feel the climax building, and her wicked smile seemed to promise that she wouldn't let you fall until she was ready.

With a mischievous glint in her eyes, Arlecchino slowed her tempo, prolonging the exquisite torture as your body writhed beneath her control. The room was filled with the sounds of your ragged breaths and her soft hums of satisfaction, an intoxicating symphony for both of you.

The moment seemed to stretch on forever as if suspended in time, and the anticipation of release grew more and more unbearable. Arlecchino finally leaned in and kissed your thigh, her eyes locked with yours. But with her pulling away, you let out a groan of frustration. "Do you want to come now, little one?" she whispered, her voice filled with lust. You could only nod, she resumed her skilled demonstrations with renewed intensity, driving you both over the edge in perfect synchrony.

The orgasmic waves crashed over you both, sending your world into a haze of ecstasy, and for a moment, it was all you could do to keep yourself from collapsing in a heap. The ravishing woman pulled back, her satisfaction evident on her face as she wiped her lips, the remnants of your arousal still clinging to her.

She gently stroked your hair, her voice soft as she whispered, "So good, wasn't it? I'm sure we can find even more ways to please each other, my little one." The warmth of her smile was intoxicating, and you could feel your heart beating faster in anticipation of all the wicked pleasures you would share with your new mistress.

Now is your time to satisfy her. As you kneeled in front of Arlecchino, your eyes locked with hers. She offered a sultry smile and nodded for you to continue. Carefully, you began to undress her, slowly pulling her bottoms down, revealing her supple, luscious flesh.

Her breathing quickened as you reached for her most intimate area, your fingers gently tracing the contours of her femininity. You leaned in, closing the distance and pressing your lips to her arousal, savoring the sweet taste of her as you began to explore her with your tongue.

Arlecchino's hands found their way into your hair, gently guiding your movements and urging you to take control of her pleasure. She moaned, the sound sending shivers down your spine as her body began to tremble beneath your ministrations.

You delved deeper, your tongue tracing intricate patterns and diving into the warm, wet haven that quivered beneath your touch. The sweet, musky taste filled your senses, and you found yourself intoxicated by the mixture of power and passion.

Her hips bucked, and she grasped your head, guiding you and urging you to do your best. As you felt her body begin to tense, you knew she was close, so you upped the ante, flicking your tongue and grazing her most sensitive areas with the tips of your fingers.

Arlecchino's moans grew louder, and her breathing became ragged. Her hands clenched into fists. And just as you sensed she was about to fall, you adjusted your rhythm, driving her over the precipice with the force of a tidal wave.

Her body convulsed beneath your ministrations, and she cried out your name in a torrent of pleasure. As her tremors subsided, Arlecchino leaned back into her chair, her chest heaving and her face flushed with rapture.

Her eyes met yours, and she reached out, tenderly stroking your cheek. "You've pleased me, little one." She whispered, her voice heavy with both satisfaction and longing. "I have a feeling our wicked liaisons will only grow more and more intense with each passing moment."

I have this Starnovamora headcanon in which the three of them, instead of wearing engagement rings, wear earrings since they all wear/wore them at some point in canon. They’re always fighting and rings could get damaged by physical combat and/or the constant blasts, so they went for this option.

They have three sets of three earrings, each with a gem from Earth that represents one of them. The yellow diamond represents Quill (the Sun), emerald for Gamora (well, it’s her color, even in her clothes) and sapphire for Rich (”blue blazes”, get it?).

Each one wears their respective gem on one ear and their partners’ gems on the other. This way, no matter how far away they are in the galaxy, they always feel close to each other.

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice

#jeeves and wooster #i want to watch tumblr go rabid i want to watch ao3 overflow with jeeves/wooster fanfiction #yes obviously the fandom EXISTS but it's a cozy little neighborhood #a handful of talented artists and writers doing their best to keep their charming little village going #but i'm tired of cozy i want this fandom TRENDING #I WANT TO SEE THIS ON MY DASHBOARD PEOPLE #i swear to you if they made a shiny new tv series tumblr would absolutely obsess over these characters. good omens levels of obsession #it's just such a great dynamic! the good-natured overly-trusting bumbling idiot in constant need of rescuing!#the stoic all-knowing genius who quietly masterminds mayhem in order to protect this one moron he's devoted himself to for some reason #jeeves as a morosexual is just such a beautiful interpretation of the original text #wooster as a happy-go-lucky himbo who stumbles his way into a relationship with a protective caring and supremely competent mastermind #the angst and social complexities of a same-sex cross-class relationship in turn-of-the century london!#oh AND half the stories are about jeeves helping wooster get out of engagements/desperately avoid marriage #two men who live together constantly scheming to maintain their bachelorhood. this is quite literally the main plot point #the gay subtext is there! the gay subtext is there and very ripe for picking!!!#this thing is LOCKED AND LOADED we can pounce literally any time

you're grabbing lunch with a nice man and he gives you that strange grimace-smile that's popular right now; an almost sardonic "twist" of his mouth while he looks literally down on you. it looks like he practiced the move as he leans back, arms folded. he just finished reciting the details of NFTs to you and explaining Oppenheimer even though he only watched a youtube about it and hasn't actually seen it. you are at the bottom of your wine glass.

you ask the man across from you if he has siblings, desperately looking for a topic. literally anything else.

he says i don't like small talk. and then he smiles again, watching you.

a few years ago, you probably would have said you're above celebrity gossip, but honestly, you've been kind of enjoying the dumb shit of it these days. with the rest of the earth burning, there's something familiar and banal about dragging ariana grande through the mud. you think about jeanette mccurdy, who has often times gently warned the world she's not as nice as she appears. you liked i'm glad my mom died but it made you cry a lot.

he doesn't like small talk, figure out something to say.

you want to talk about responsibility, and how ariana grande is only like 6 days older than you are - which means she just turned 30 and still dresses and acts like a 13 year old, but like sexy. there's something in there about the whole thing - about insecurity, and never growing up, and being sexualized from a young age.

people have been saying that gay people are groomers. like, that's something that's come back into the public. you have even said yourself that it's just ... easier to date men sometimes. you would identify as whatever the opposite of "heteroflexible" is, but here you are again, across from a man. you like every woman, and 3 people on tv. and not this guy. but you're trying. your mother is worried about you. she thinks it's not okay you're single. and honestly this guy was better before you met, back when you were just texting.

wait, shit. are you doing the same thing as ariana grande? are you looking for male validation in order to appease some internalized promise of heteronormativity? do you conform to the idea that your happiness must result in heterosexuality? do you believe that you can resolve your internal loneliness by being accepted into the patriarchy? is there a reason dating men is easier? why are you so scared of fucking it up with women? why don't you reach out to more of them? you have a good sense of humor and a big ol' brain, you could have done a better job at online dating.

also. jesus christ. why can't you just get a drink with somebody without your internal feminism meter pinging. although - in your favor (and judgement aside) in the case of your ariana grande deposition: you have been in enough therapy you probably wouldn't date anyone who had just broken up with their wife of many years (and who has a young child). you'd be like - maybe take some personal time before you begin this journey. like, grande has been on broadway, you'd think she would have heard of the plot of hamlet.

he leans forward and taps two fingers to the table. "i'm not, like an andrew tate guy," he's saying, "but i do think partnership is about two people knowing their place. i like order."

you knew it was going to be hard. being non-straight in any particular way is like, always hard. these days you kind of like answering the question what's your sexuality? with a shrug and a smile - it's fine - is your most common response. like they asked you how your life is going and not to reveal your identity. you like not being straight. you like kissing girls. some days you know you're into men, and sometimes you're sitting across from a man, and you're thinking about the power of compulsory heterosexuality. are you into men, or are you just into the safety that comes from being seen with them? after all, everyone knows you're failing in life unless you have a husband. it almost feels like a gradebook - people see "straight married" as being "all A's", and anything else even vaguely noncompliant as being ... like you dropped out of the school system. you cannot just ignore years of that kind of conditioning, of course you like attention from men.

"so let's talk boundaries." he orders more wine for you, gesturing with one hand like he's rousing an orchestra. sir, this is a fucking chain restaurant. "I am not gonna date someone who still has male friends. also, i don't care about your little friends, i care about me. whatever stupid girls night things - those are lower priority. if i want you there, you're there."

he wasn't like this over text, right? you wouldn't have been even in the building if he was like this. you squint at him. in another version of yourself, you'd be running. you'd just get up and go. that's what happens on the internet - people get annoyed, and they just leave. you are locked in place, almost frozen. you need to go to the bathroom and text someone to call you so you have an excuse, like it's rude to just-leave. like he already kind of owns you. rudeness implies a power paradigm, though. see, even your social anxiety allows the patriarchy to get to you.

you take a sip of the new glass of wine. maybe this will be a funny story. maybe you can write about it on your blog. maybe you can meet ariana grande and ask her if she just maybe needs to take some time to sit and think about her happiness and how she measures her own success.

is this settling down? is this all that's left in your dating pool? just accepting that someone will eventually love you, and you have to stop being picky about who "makes" you a wife?

you look down to your hand, clutching the knife.

#writeblr #this is a mashup of like 3 dates i accidentally went on lol #by that i mean that i was out with a woman on a date in 2 of these situations #and a man just. joined us. and we were too awkward to say anything while he tried to ''date'' me #& one was a longterm friend that i was like. you what????#like he's nice he's a doctor and my mom was SO happy she was like raquel think about it #''it's a perfect love story you grew up together and reconnected as adults and like the same things and he's friends with ur brother #and his sister is one of ur close friends!!!''#yes but alas. he is a boy . she only likes girls. can i make it any more obvious #anyway im tryna write about like the force of male attention being actually incredibly ingrained to women like we are SUPPOSED to like it #it's seen as the only important thing #even if ur gay #and it's a nuanced thing idk #and while rn i i.d. as lesbian #like .... it wouldn't be UNTRUE to say i am probably like ''cusp bisexual'' bc i CAN experience attraction to men bc like .#sexuality is fluid...#don't tell straight ppl tho bc they do not understand the concept that ppl don't necessarily need a solid everlasting label #they're like GET in the BOX #if ur gay & in boston i'm 30 and pretty please come kiss me.#(i usually only date older ppl sorry in advance tho)

One of the most generally useful things to come out of Hbomberguy's plagiarism video and Todd in the Shadows' similar video on misinformation is how they bring transparency to the internet phenomenon of "I made up a guy to get mad at".

Seriously, I've seen people make up a lot of stupid shit on the internet over the years and it's often just a manipulative attempt to paint a group of marginalized people in a bad light.

That's the TL;DR version of this post.

ANYWAY here is the long version

Those videos are mostly about James Somerton's plagiarism of other queer people's work. However I'd like to talk about that 20-30% of Somerton's original writing- and oh boy. It's mostly about complaining about White Straight Women and misgendering well-known trans creators such as Rebecca Sugar and calling Becky Albertalli a straight woman while it's pretty common knowledge that she was forced to out herself as bi because she received so much harassment over "being a cishet woman who appropriates LGBT+ stories".

One thing that irks me especially is how in his Killing Stalking and Gay Shipping videos Somerton brings up how straight women/ teen girl shippers exploit gay men for their personal sexual fantasies. This gets brought up several times in his videos.

Being all up and arms about Somerton being a "White Cis Gay Who Hates Women and Queer People tm" is not that useful because the kind of rhetoric he's using is extremely common in fandom and LGBT+ spaces on Tumblr, TikTok and Twitter. We really don't need to bring Somerton's identity to this since he is in no way an unique example.

It's hypocritical to make this about an individual person when I've seen A TON of posts, tweets and videos where queer people talk about these Sinister Straight Women who are supposedly out there fetishizing and exploiting queer men. It's pretty clear to me that this is just an excuse to shit on women and queer people for having any sexual interests. At worst these comments are spreading misinformation about BL, a form of media that has been excessively studied by both Asian feminists and Asian queer women.

This all sounds really familiar and I think it's good that people are calling it out as what it is: misogyny and transphobia. I'd also point out the potentially racist motives behind being this hypervigilant about Asian media.

People can absolutely be misogynist regardless of gender or orientation. I really don't know why we need to create some kind of made up enemy to get mad at. I actually think it's almost sinister how "anti-fujoshi" people call Slash shippers and fujoshi misogynists or claim that they have internalised misogyny while being dismissive about women's interests and creative pursuits under Japanese obscenity laws, China's censorship, book bans in American schools and various other disadvances that are part of being a queer and/or female creator.

I think we shouldn't be naive about the bad faith actors who want to turn queer people against each other. For example Fujoshi.info mentions anti-gender (TERF, GC etc) movement using this kind of rhetoric as well.

Anyway if you want to read more:

- about the false info around BL fandom fujoshi.info

-There is the scholar Thomas Baudinette who studies gay media in Japan. Here is a podcast with him and the scholar Khursten Santos

-James Welker is a BL scholar as well. Here is a podcast interview about the new international BL article collection he edited.

-I've already talked about this Youtube channel by KrisPNatz and his great Killing Stalking video that actually engages with the themes of the manhwa

- There is also HR Coleman's thesis DO NOT FEED THE FETISHIZERS: BOYS LOVE FANS RESISTANCE AND CHALLENGE OF PERCEIVED REPUTATION where she interviews 36 BL fans and actually breaks down why fetishization has become such a huge talking point in the fandom discourse. Spoilers, it's mostly about young queer people and women being worried that they will get judged and pathologized for their interest in anything sexual.

-Great podcast about Danmei and censorship with Liang Ge

#Also I don't mean that you can always tell if someone is a transphobe or a TERF based on a couple of things they have said.#My point is that sometimes ok people can have very regressive ideas too.#This is not a call out post about how we should go around accusing anti-fujoshi people #todd in the shadows #hbomberguy #sarasade text #even I've got those “Fandom is mostly straight women fetishizing gay men” comments once and it begins to sound kind of passive-aggressive #when you're a bi woman. Lot of fandom stats at AO3 show that fandoms are montly bi women. who are these people calling straight exactly hmm #also straight women are completely ok leave them alone. I know I know Yes I'm so brave for saying this #cw: transphobia
