i wanna pin my Naoto gender thread but i don’t wanna lose my old pinned so uhhh i’m gonna pin this and quote my old pinned and my Naoto thread in the replies
@tubby_blumkins@AstroExisting also it’s kinda weird of you to refer to a 16 year old as a woman, if you don’t read him as trans that’s fine, but he’s not even old enough to be a woman 🤨
@kanjipilled@ECWaifuLover@kimwithaQ also to add to this, reading Naoto as trans absolutely does not erase the stated struggle of facing workplace misogyny, as trans men suffer that on top of transphobia, in fact, it adds to Naoto’s struggles and makes him a more cohesive, complex and compelling character
@tubby_blumkins@AstroExisting Kanji isn’t queer because he has feminine hobbies, that much is true, he’s queer because he explicitly shows attraction to guys
@TobyIsAFish@MinaFrog_@fyeknight@Wtf_we1rdo yeah we’ve been trying to find the time to do it for months and with opening times and… other major life events, we’ve been too busy to do it until now
@TobyIsAFish@MinaFrog_@fyeknight@Wtf_we1rdo it’s been years since then and it still hurts to think about, luckily today should be the day i make an appointment for a gender clinic referral so hopefully that goes well and i can finally start working towards being in a body that actually feels like mine
@MinaFrog_@fyeknight@Wtf_we1rdo he went to the same primary and secondary school as me, i was terrified of him pre transition for a reason i don’t remember, he knew damn well i was a trans boy and he called me that slur, i am the intended target whether you like it or not
@MinaFrog_@fyeknight@Wtf_we1rdo i still struggle to reclaim that slur because of the pain it caused me, don’t tell me i’m not allowed to reclaim it and take that power away from people who call me it because i’m supposedly not the intended target when i know damn well he wasn’t mistaking me for a trans girl
@BabyCowPatriot@CopperCation literally everyone in my life genders me the way i ask them to, if you could kindly fuck off instead of assuming you know anything about my sexual preferences, i literally never talk about them publicly, you’re the only one who mentioned fetishes, not me, always the english istg
