My Childhood Was Pretty Gay.

A sort-of sequel to this

“That character can’t be trans, because ____”

“They have a higher/lower pitched voice!” Voice pitch doesn’t indicate gender. Some boys/men have higher pitched voices and some women have lower pitched voices, whether or not they’re trans. Trans people, usually adults, can also go through vocal training to make their voices higher/lower. Another thing to consider is that for younger characters, all voices are pretty high pitched. Young boys can often sing soprano in choirs and there’s a reason young cartoon boys are often voiced by teenage girls.

“We’ve seen them shirtless/in a bra!” Shirtless trans boys: If they are younger, puberty might not have kicked in yet, so they have a flat chest. For older boys who would have gone through/are going through puberty, they could just have small breasts, took/are taking puberty blockers, or are taking T. Any boy who is 18+ may have gotten top surgery. Trans girls with bras: This mostly applies to teenage/adult characters. They could be wearing a water bra/stuffed a bra/bra with padding. Again, they could also be taking hormones or have had top surgery done.

“They’re too young/too old to be trans!” You are never the wrong age to realize you’re trans. Young kids can know as soon as they are developed enough to actually think/process things. For older people, they might have not realized what they were feeling was something significant/not just a random thought or that it is okay to be trans until recently. It could also be that they transitioned some time before, maybe when they were young, maybe not. This is a really weak argument.

“The creator said they weren’t trans!” It really doesn’t matter. If the creator of a show says they’re not trans then they aren’t trans in canon, but that won’t stop us from imagining these characters as trans. Part of being in a fandom is recreating the characters and showing them to others in a new light, that might not be canon, but honestly who cares? A lot of artists and writers can show our favorite characters as trans in a good/cool way while not making that the whole idea of the work. As long as the original traits of the character aren’t lost, it’s fantastic. Getting upset for this reason is like getting upset because someone colored a person’s hair the wrong shade of brown.

“I don’t want my favorite characters to be trans!” Congrats, you’re transphobic.  I’d also like to point out that just because you don’t really agree with/can’t see a character being trans doesn’t really make you transphobic. In fact, I even have trouble seeing some characters as trans. But if it makes you cry cis tears/makes you mad to see trans people have fun/don’t like the idea of rubbing our little trans hands all over it, you are transphobic.

Any other bullshit reason I don’t give a shit, any character can be trans and we don’t need reasoning to think that.

Also take into consideration characters who haven’t realized their trans/haven’t come out yet and don’t present as their actual gender 

trans men:

are men

dont have to bind, change their pronouns/name, take t, or have any surgeries

dont have to dress or act masculine

can be any sexuality

are still men

Danny Fenton is trans. Fight me.

The person who first discovered that coconut could be eaten must have experienced depths of hunger many will never know.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL FOR ANYONE WHO USES “BLUEBUFFALO” FOR THEIR DOGS!!

Umeji, fondly: Osoro sometimes talks in her sleep, it’s adorable

Osoro, asleep: Fight me… you motherfucker… square up… I think the fuck not…

Te odio, y gracias.

Te odio, realmente te odio.

¿Por qué?

Porque me hiciste amarte.

Por eso te odio.

Prometiste que estarías siempre junto a mí.

Que no me harías lo mismo que todos los demás.

¿Cuán poco valen las promesas para tí?

¿Cuán poco vale mi corazón para tí?

Me ilusionaste, como solo un primer amor puede hacerlo.

Jugaste conmigo como todos los demás ya lo hicieron.

Ingenuamente creí en tus palabras.

Ingenuamente no dudé tus "Te quiero".

Te ofrecí el más puro de los afectos.

Que estúpida fuí al creer que era un sentimiento recíproco.

Que estúpida e ingenua.

Pasada yo, realmente me das pena.

Te aprovechaste de un vulnerable corazón.

Que solo quería, en medio de tanto sufrimiento y dolor.

Un poco, aunque sea una sola pizca.

De lo que es el amor.

Aunque... La verdad es que no puedo culparte.

Es decir, sólo mírame.

Dime con sinceridad, con tantos defectos...

¿En serio alguien podría amarme?

No, claro que no.

Mi propósito en ésta vida ya está más que claro.

Ser un simple juguete más.

Y aprender a ocultar mi dolor bajo un maldito disfraz.

He de decirte solo una cosa más.

Gracias.

Gracias por haber hecho que, aunque fuera falsa...

Lograra sentir, por un momento, eso que todos llaman "felicidad".
