Recently there has been an obvious amount of really weird transphobia on the site that was thankfully taken care of but the discussions people have about the characters in Homestuck being Trans or some other non-cis identity has really made me realize that I relate a lot to what people are saying about the characters.
And I think a lot of the horrible things people were saying about Andrew Hussie's clowngender made me realize that I also really relate to Genderqueer identity. I have always felt "genderless" in a way, and have never really resonated with labels like girl or boy, so the idea of someone taking a concept like "clown" as a gender was something that I just sort of understood from the get go, but also I kind of felt like I could do something like that for myself. (I have not played Pyscholonials even though everyone keeps saying to play Psycholonials T_T I am just too lazy but I will do it soon)
Anyways, I also felt personally like I've never been able to call myself genderqueer or align myself with that community because I wasn't taking it "seriously" or something lol (and really this is just because of what someone said in that now locked thread about how Hussie doesn't take their gender "seriously" so they don't have to respect it) But the idea of just being a "girl" also just does not fit with me like at all.
Reading a lot of trans people's analysis on Homestuck has given me a new perspective!
my motto i repeat to everyone every day:
do whatever you want forever!!!!!
* and the universe said I love you because you are love.
in all seriousness YES you can be trans. you can be trans and not call it that if you dont want to. my gender journey has been so weird and odd and my labels have always changed but what i DID land on is the simple idea of doing whatever the fuck i want. i MUST derive JOY from my presentation, from my expression. it MUST cause me happiness, and if it is not, i should do the work to make it so! if i am dissatisfied with where i am at, with how i look, with how i am perceived- i will find ways to change that, even if they are weird, even if they are cringe, it does not matter, MY joy and MY happiness is what matters at the end of it all!! and so is yours!!! reach out and fucking GRAB that happiness, its yours to take
* and the universe said I love you because you are love.
yeah idk I guess i am kind of hesitant to say I am trans because I don't really experience all of the stuff other trans people have? And no one in real life even knows I feel this way about gender lol I don't tell anyone about my sexuality or gender in real life just because I fear people will think I'm being weird or faking it for attention or something.
baby sillyhead brain: labels are stupid
smart big brain: labels are good for communicating divergent identity from societal norms
genius huge brain: labels are stupid and good for communicating divergent identity from societal norms
biggest brain of all time: heh heh i have a secret identity in my secret brain that no one knows about B) heh heh hehh
meme translation: it's chill not to tell people the details of your you. it's your you! have fun and be yourself first and foremost
the epilogues are the best part of homestuck
I will defend you all, even if it means shredding down the bigots.
