In topic: "Homestuck transgender analysis (or: words that describe a gender)"

to be clear I kinda wanted to share like
the idea of figuring out words/concepts characters associate with their gender (or heavily disassociate with their gender) and encourage more exploration of that. I love me some general transgender analysis dont get me wrong I just kinda wanted to make it clear that that's the point I had behind this thread.

another good example I think would be like

I think two words that are intrinsic parts of gender for tavros (as a girl) are "fairy" and "gamer". Her dreams of being the fairy that pupa pan would visit implicitly liken her to the role of jane in peter pan, "games for girls" is a refrain when any game she plays comes up, all the people she played games with prior to her paralysis were girls, and when she roleplays with vriska in the plot point she does so as a girl fairy - therefore her girl gender insofar as she connects with it is "fairy" and "gamer"
