Also the form of estrogen they prescribed trans women in the 90s, Premarin, looked like this.
And lest there be any remaining doubt.. remember the blue pill? The pill Neo could have taken to forget the truth, bury his troubles and go back to living a normal life, without fearing a system that wanted to destroy him? The pill that was easy, perhaps cowardly according to some, but comfortable? Here’s Prozac.
For a trans woman in the 90s, where the choice was be safe, suppress, cope, and pretend everything is still how it was, or embrace the danger, accept the truth, realize your full potential, and transition into a world that still thinks you’re a joke and would rather have you dead…. well. The metaphor is pretty fucking clear.
Y’all
Lana came out as a woman after Speed Racer in 2008, and Lily eight years later after the release of Jupiter Ascending (2016), so if you see original home copies of the Matrix (pre-2008), they are referred to as the Wachowski Brothers on it. It was a branding thing, like the Coen Brothers. That’s how they were called, because they were still presenting as male to the industry and the industry sold them as a creative unit.
I remember after Lana came out, the boxes switched to calling them just The Wachowskis, so I imagine now it’s the Wachowski Sisters.
So, yes, they’ve always been sisters, but if you didn’t know that, it’s not your fault. It’s been a long process and I’m glad they did it on their terms in their time.

Pokemon have physical differences between male and female. Pikachu is far less subtle in its gender differences. Females have a heart shape tip to their tail, while males have that v shape.

Anyway here’s trans Pikachu.

Who does it hurt if these people are trans? Who does it hurt if Link is trans? Who does it hurt if Danny Fenton is trans?
Fucking nobody. It hurts nobody for these characters, these people, to be trans.
Who does it benefit? Hundreds(if not thousands or even millions), of children, who get to see themselves in cartoons, who realize that it’s ok to feel the way they do. Or, alternatively (if we had canon trans characters in cartoons), cis children who get to learn about being trans, and maybe won’t grow up to be turds on the ass of humanity like yourself, OP.
Who else does it benefit? Thousands or more teenagers, who can take solace in these characters, who can ease the feeling of being alone, confused, and (depending on how they were raised, wrong). Who can tell themselves that they aren’t alone, Link is there, and Danny, and they can watch these shows, and feel like it’s not so bad.
And the thousands of adults, because people cling to those things of childhood that spoke to us the most strongly (I still empathize with Data from Star Trek inability to get social situations well).
So, screw you, OP. Because it hurts no one to view these people as trans, and has the ability to help, and benefit, tons of people.
ps. I now head canon Danny as trans. Didn’t before, but now it makes perfect sense!!!
“About Ray”
Tumblr is having an absolute shit fit over this movie. Why? Because the actor portraying the trans male lead is a cis woman.
You know what? I don’t give a shit. It isn’t perfect. I’ll fucking taking it though. It doesn’t end with his death, he isn’t cornered into submission about his identity at all what so ever (he’s a strong character), and most of all: he’s a fucking trans guy.
I have only known one trans male character. Adam Torres.
You know what happened to him? Well, he’s fucking dead. I suppose it isn’t a coincidence that he was also played by a cis woman, Jordan Todosey. Despite this discrepancy, he was my favorite character. This character introduced me to the possibility of, you know, being trans. Even though the actor was a cis woman, I still related tremendously. It was almost like the actor’s actual gender did not effect her ability to act and do the role some justice.
I can almost appreciate the fact that Adam died only because it was meant to send a message: this kind of fatality (texting & driving) can happen to anyone. No one is immune. But as far as I know, this was their first and only trans character… so it was kind of a cheap shot. Maybe they were just too tired of Adam being happy.
I have never, ever seen a movie or show with a trans male character that was important or visible. I would love it if trans actors got to play trans characters in the future. I have no problem with that, I hope that this is the stepping stone to make that a reality.
Boycotting the movie sends the entirely wrong message. It doesn’t say “I have serious criticisms of this film; these problems must be worked on for future productions.” it says, “Don’t ever make a movie about a trans male character or your ship will sink at box office.”
It says, “Your movie failed because it had a trans character.”
Boycotting the movie doesn’t tell anyone in Hollywood anything about the movie, or what could have been done to make it better. It’s just, “People are not willing to invest money to see trans male characters, let’s not do this again.”
And about the whole “[x] is a [x] born in [x] body”/’[x] trapped in [x] body” being transphobic: most trans people relate to that narrative. Those phrases have nuances for each trans person that finds themselves fitting into that narrative. It is obviously transphobic for cis people to describe us this way because it shows a disregard for our safety (since it will undoubtedly trigger dysphoria), but if the main character who’s a fucking trans person is written so they relate to that there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not necessarily inaccurate.
If you boycott this movie, this is where it ends. We will be stuck with “Boys Don’t Cry” and “About Ray” for the rest of our lives. I don’t know about you, but I will see this movie no matter what any asshole on tumblr says because I can see myself on the big screen for the very first time in my life. I will drag my family to see it, I will take my friends for a second screening, I will buy a copy for myself to watch whenever I feel like I’d be better off dead instead of being trans. This is a fucking nitpick, that is something we haven’t earned the right to do yet.
#trans#about ray#movies#i agree#i also agree a lot with the notion that if the actor is right for the part than the actor is right for the part#not a fan of tumblr hating on people because they're cis and were casted as not#idk about you but jared leto was fucking incredible and it takes a lot of talent to do something like that#i'd actually love to see what elle can do with this role#this could change her career and yeah it could help bring more trans issues to light#and that's what's most important#is it a shame we have to go through cis actors to get there? yeah totally#but at least it's a start
danny fenton: -wears a shirt to the water park -accidentally uses the womens restroom -“i would tell you to use the mens room but i dont think you qualify” -chest occasionally bulges in his ghost suit -is a trans boy

Reblog if you'd date a trans guy.
Being a pre-T trans guy it’s kinda discouraging to look for romance where I’m from sometimes. So I’m just curious, hit the like and reblog buttons if you’d consider it.
