characters that go by she or he pronouns, but never states their gender, have their pronouns respected by the fandom.
but characters who go by they/them pronouns and never state their gender are suddenly ambiguous and the gender/pronouns are up to the player.
this is really not so subtle non binary erasure.
cis ppl think the best nb representation is the kind that let’s them impose whatever (invariably binary) alignment they want on someone because that’s the kind of nb people they like best irl
bad trans headcanon tropes to leave behind for 2018
trans man binds with ace bandages until a Good Cis Ally gets him a binder
“this is my buff trans wife and i want her to murder me” and other various phrases that make the association that trans woman = violent
trans man is in a state of undress when another character walks in on him shirtless, which outs him as trans against his will
character who is a man (or uses he/him pronouns) in canon gets headcanoned as a trans woman and then in the trans headcanon fanart she’s drawn even buffer and hairier than in canon just to prove how Obviously Not Cis she is
drawing cis characters like regular people but then stylizing your trans headcanons to emphasize the characteristics of their ASAB
exclusively headcanoning thin adolescent white boys as trans men
headcanoning Real, Actual People as trans
referring to adult characters as “boys” if you headcanon them as trans; infantilizing trans men in general
not bothering to draw body hair on your cis characters, but always including body hair on your trans women headcanons.
having cis love interests say anything along the lines of “i love you no matter what parts you have :)” like they deserve a fuckin medal
only writing/drawing trans characters in nsfw situations / fetishization in general
having people fall for obvious troll ace positivity/kin blogs is practically just the same type of circlejerk antic the anti SJ community does when making strawman SJW blogs and that’s my hot take for today
@hate2breakittoya (tumblr wont let me @ her) has a tag called “mogai hell denial” where anons tell her their stories with identities and blame it on “mogai hell”
this is shit in itself but they include fucking trans identities in there as if they were somehow tricked into identifying as trans and that’s fault of mogai
this is fucking twerf and truscum rethoric and the worst part of it is that she doesnt even call it out lmao
someone: the lesbian identity overall isnt attraction to genitalia. its attraction to women and some lesbians can like women who dont have vaginas.
you fucking weirdos translating that statement from english to victim: OH SO YOU WANT ME TO HAVE SEX WITH A PENIS. HUH. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT YOU WANT. YOU WANT ME TO GO THROUGH CONVERSION THERAPY. FUCKING FAKE LESBIAN HOMOPHOBE
