It isn't about yaoi or yuri, its about trans stories getting told through whatever means people want to tell them, and people respecting that.
Everyone has different opinions and Tumblr is a much better place when you interact with those you enjoy the content of instead of to hate on it. There's why we have fandom etiquette in the first place.
Many trans men - myself included - one day identified as cis lesbians, there's nothing wrong with identifying with a character and wanting to see a little bit of yourself in a story you love. It doesn't make caitvi any less, in fact it shows that the story is so beautiful to them more people wanted to see themselves in it.
Men can't be lesbians ok, sure, but a man can have been a lesbian or could become one.
Both things can be true.
Trans people get fewer characters and less story variety, just ship and let ship instead of sending people hate for having their own.
testosterone could fix caitlyn kiramman
Y’all “critical thinking” does not equal “criticism”.
Proshippers when they see a callout post on other proshippers

i’ve been thinking about arcane characters as warrior cats recently, and i’ve come up with a bunch of lore for it. i’ve got plenty of characters already made, so here’s one of the groups! you may be wondering at this point, “saph, why not the main characters? this is weird as hell.” and to answer that, because i want to. so there.
piltover in the au i came up with is a clan called gildedclan. the clan has had to adapt to their territory being destroyed to build upper class neighborhoods. unable to retreat further into the forest lest they trespass on other clan territories, they’ve begun supplementing their hunting by taking advantage of the kindness of twolegs. they pretend to be kittypets when it serves them.
heimerdinger in the au is a runaway kittypet who teaches the others in gildedclan how to draw twolegs into feeding them or giving them food they can take back to the clan.
because of the way the clan operates, they don’t have a clan leader, which means no -star suffixes here. instead, they’ve formed a council that splits power evenly between themselves. this comes in handy because on occasion, the cats in the council will be mia for several days or even weeks at a time while cozying up to twolegs.
anyway, here’s the council!
mel- goldveil
cassandra- diamondleap
salo- cunningfang
hoskel- timbertail
heimerdinger
bolbok- goldengear
shoola- rustwisp
+ a bonus cat!
tobias- slatebreeze
In relation to recent discourse
caitlyn isnt a dictator or a war criminal, y’all just can’t apply nuance to characters who are part of oppressive groups because you don’t want to see them as people and- *is shot by every caitlyn hater on earth simultaneously*
