trans!peter parker

hello i have seen homecoming three times now and i’m obsessed and in love with everything about the movie and the trans!peter headcanon

The first thing i heard about trans!peter was a post talking about how being bullied for being a nerd in school really isnt a common thing anymore, at least in america, and, if anything, in my experience, it tends to be the smartest kids that are actually the most popular. And the post raised the question: So what if peter is actually bullied because he’s trans? And that makes so much sense. And being a trans boy in high school myself and absolutely on board with the headcanon i thought i’d join in and add some things. Some of these other people may have talked about also.

“I am not a GIRL. IM A BOY. I mEAN IM A MAN.” peter gets very upset when donald glover’s character calls him a girl. his voice breaks and he gets visibly flustered.

Flash calls him “Penis Parker”. speaking from experience, high school bullies are not very creative with nicknames and will always go straight for the deepest insecurity they know. I personally think this is a dig at peter being trans.

Peter has proportionally quite small hands and feet. 

He enjoys playing with things like Legos and Star Wars action figures. possibly because he didn’t get to when he was little.

He has quite a high pitched voice which he has difficulty controlling the depth of.

May’s comment about his body changing and him not feeling like he can fit in at a classmate’s party makes much more sense if you think of peter as trans.

Ned asks Peter if the spider venom gave him the ability to lay eggs, which is a bizarre question to begin with, but even stranger if being asked of an amab person. but this likely doesn’t have any substance as it was obviously just meant to be a funny moment, which it was, i laughed out loud all three times i heard it.

Peter doesn’t have much in the way of sideburns.

He’s pretty short.

The gym classes at Peter’s school are not separated by gender and they all wear the same uniform.

Most of his clothes are quite big on him. In my own experience, shopping in the men’s sections in stores doesn’t tend to go very well in terms of finding things that fit. Additionally, baggier clothes help to hide the chest and hip areas.

He doesn’t know how to tie a tie. Now this seems unimportant at first, but i actually think it could mean a lot, so hear me out. Considering how many clubs and extra curriculars he’s in (robotics, marching band, decathlon, etc.) he should have been to many recitals, concerts, competitions, etc that would require him to wear a tie throughout his intermediate and high school years. It’s weird that neither him nor may would know how to tie one. unless- he’s never done it before because he’d always worn the traditionally feminine uniform or formal wear. 

Now, there’s those two shirtless scenes that some people have been using to discredit the headcanon where he’s clearly muscular and flat chested with no visible scars. Well, my doubtful friends, there’s the possibility of a keyhole surgery which leaves minimal scarring. Also, the spider venom increases muscle growth and metabolism, and also gives peter a mild healing factor. This could have caused any scars he had to heal and fade completely. 

now obviously i realize not all of this inherently means he’s trans. cis guys can be short or have small hands and feet or high pitched voices or rounder hairlines, especially when they’re only 15 years old and everyone is growing at a different rate. These things just flesh out the headcanon a bit more. 

tl;dr: Peter Parker is an endlessly adorable trans boy and the hero we all need.

I hate... fanon archetypes. You know how people sand down their blorbos to fit into the same handful of incorrect quote templates and then they forget their actual canon personalities because they've gone too long without engaging with the source material? I hate it. I hate it. He would not fucking say that. The joke was slightly funny when it was on the office or whatever but we've all heard it over and over with different characters pasted into it how are you still laughing please let me out

okay i’m settling this once and for all

reblog for tyler james kippen, like for theodore james kippen

level 1 autism isn't just being quirky. saying that it is is confusing for people who also have level 1 and then think "no i must be high support needs" because they keep getting fired from jobs, or can't manage their own finances, or lose speech sometimes, or struggle to communicate anything beyond the literal.

like my diagnostic paperwork says "level 1" on it. i'm not a huge fan of flattening autistic experiences into homogenous "tiers" but like. there's a big difference between someone like me, who can hold basic conversations and work full time in competitive employment, vs someone who is nonspeaking and cannot work.

but that doesn't mean i'm "quirky." my parents literally tried to put me under a guardianship, on the recommendation of a doctor. strangers know i "have something wrong with me." i've been nearly expelled from two different universities. i struggle to convey nuanced and subjective information to like. employers and doctors and landlords. everybody who knows me knows i have communication issues. my motor skills impact my ability to feed myself--i.e. move food from my plate into my mouth without getting it all over the table and my clothes. not just "oh i don't know what to cook tonight uwu." i spent 2 years in high school in a social skills class where they tried to make us memorize facial expressions on flash cards, and had to take us on weekly outings to learn how to ride the bus and order at an ice cream shop.

this kind of framing of level 1 autism as being "just quirky" is harmful to all autistic people, because it means that level 1 autistic people like me, who are disabled by autism, will see this and think "well i'm not just quirky, i must be level 2 or 3" and then start talking over people whose disability from their autism is more pronounced. we see this with people who lose speech sometimes calling themselves nonspeaking. or with people who live with roommates calling themselves "high support needs" because they "can't live alone."

it's hurtful to all of us to pretend that there exists any autistic person who is "just quirky." what separates "autism" as the clinical diagnosis from "autistic traits" as in the thing that most people have a few of, is that if you're actually autistic, your autistic traits cause a disability. "just quirky" = does not have autism.

Okay Percy Jackson might be getting an adaptation holy shit.

All I can say is I think it should start with HoO instead of PJO I don’t think making another attempt at Lightning Thief so soon is the best idea.

Firstly because it’s a lot more doable for Disney to get full time high school, college aged actors for a long running gig. (The way they filmed Mandalorian was in a single filming time period by season rather than weekly like a Disney channel show).

Not to mention that age group is the kids who would have READ THE BOOKS AS CHILDREN. I’m 18 and PJO is what I grew up reading. (I’m a freshman acting major, gods please let me audition for Thalia Grace)

I think HoO is also a more inclusive and interesting story. I love PJO but I think having the story follow the seven could allow for some much needed diversity on screen have the audience be to a slightly older age group. Dealing with some of the themes that HoO does, race and racism, homosexuality and identity, friendships and relationships, family problems, mental disorders I mean hell that could be to such a wide range audience.

LOOK at Mandalorian right now. It has been crafted so that 50 year old Star Wars nerds and young adults and young kids can ALL enjoy the show.

I think HoO could take a classic adventure story to the big screen and a wide audience

None of you will ever know true fear until you know the context behind this picture
