Kill Six Billion Demons has created a world full of wonder and terror. A truly phatasmagoric realm where you can lie to God themself. Anyway what are the characters' opinions on trans people??
Allison: Not only is she supportive, but she happens to be the one "cis" person in an all trans friend group.
Cio: All devils are genderfluid AND moral-fluid. And she is a person who has gone through a lot of change herself. The transgenders are utterly normal and mundane to her.
White Chain: Canonically trans, and canonically dealing with internalised transphobia.
Nyave: Obviously supportive, like, come on.
Princess: What is gender?
Zaid: Probably a chud while on earth, but learned a lot when he got isekai'd, so yeah he's probably supportive now.
Juggernaut Star: Trans and transphobic.
Vigilant Gaze: The bestest ally you could wish for.
Oscar: Supportive, but he will kill you.
Maya: Supportive, and as a student of the art of cutting, she can give you free surgery.
Nadia Om: A woman who knows that women have it rough in life, yet also a woman who has benefitted from a horrible power structure and doesn't try to uplift other women. She is a TERF.
Incubus: Supportive, but only because he wants to manipulate you. Definitely not ally material.
Mammon: He's not transphobic per se, but he will forget a trans person's name and pronouns.
Solomon David: Supportive, but the paperwork and bureaucracy needed to legally change gender in the Celestial Empire is ENORMOUS. Also not available to immigrants.
Jadis: She already knows you are trans, therefore her allyship is irrelevant. Alternatively, she already knows she is transphobic, and that is a fact she can't change.
Jagganoth: Hates everyone equally.
Gog-Agog: Gog-Agog supports your right to transition into Gog-Agog.

Y'know, I think one reason why I'm getting lazier about my selfies online is because I started HRT. More and more, I'm finding I don't need to use meticulously planned and constructed looks to feel more feminine. Even though I'm indefinitely boymoding, the subtle and tiny changes to my mood and body remind me more and more what my future holds. I'll still do a more elaborate outfit from time to time, but I've seen that even in my irl femme style- I'm drawn a lot more to simple women's cuts of tshirts, shorts, jeans, and tank tops than I am to dresses and skirts these days. I take pride in them and think about my choices, which is more than I could ever say as a man, but they're still more casual outfits.
This online persona was, for a long time, my only outlet for femininity. And well, I don't *need* that anymore.
I still want the attention though😜, don't worry I'm not stopping anytime soon. If anything, I want to grow my online presence a little, especially for talking about science (I just need to actually tackle my ADHD and some time management lol). So here's some thighs, wanna use them as a pillow?

For many queer individuals, long hair is just that baby skin you shed when you've outgrown it finally. And for many queer individuals, short hair is just that pot that you transfer out of because it's far too small.
Much queer about hair

Being a trans afab person who loves being feminine is so annoying because no one will ever take you seriously. Like yes, my favourite colour is pink, I love wearing skirts and dresses, I love wearing makeup and jewelry and feeling pretty, but that does not make me a girl!! I am so sorry I don’t fit into your perception of gender, but I’m not doing this for you! I’m not here to preform for you, put on a show of what you think a trans afab person should be. I’m here to express my true self.

Thoughts on Pressured Femininity on the Internet
Look, I gave my post a fancy title!
In a lot of places on the internet, but especially tumblr (this is where I spend most of my time), I've noticed something, within trans circles, and without.
Generally, I'll see memes that refer to something femininely, no matter the situation, either through pronouns or adjectives or whatever. Like "girl help" or "good for her" (though I have seen that one edited to say "him" or "them" occasionally). And, I'm a trans guy. Even if I know it's incredibly general, being referred to as a girl isn't fun!
And then there's the post going around about F1NN5TER's girl month, with people saying he's an egg. Again, however, on this post, I have seen a lot of good gender commentary and people calling out the people using she/her pronouns for him, but it still highlights that people think that way.
And then the MCR show in Nashville happened. And this has been a phenomenon in the MCR community already, but Gerard wore a dress, so it's popped up more. GERARD WAY USES HE/THEY PRONOUNS. People keep calling him a girl and using she/her pronouns completely unironically (as far as I can tell).
The Gerard Way situation, and the F1NN5TER situation are direct misgendering. I don't care what gender you think they are, they know their gender better than you! Stop fucking misgendering people because they're gender non-conforming! That's exactly what you're not supposed to do! As a trans man who wears skirts, please. Men can wear skirts without being "eggs".
And now that I've gotten through the general community stuff, let's talk about the trans community.
I've seen, occasionally, memes and jokes about feminizing men, or prescribing every man estrogen, or whatever. With the implication being, make men trans women.
If I made that joke but reversed, I would be doxxed. If I made a joke about masculinizing women or prescribing every woman testosterone, I would be demonized. The double standards are glaring.
Also, it just... isn't a funny joke? You want to give people gender dysphoria by giving them a body that doesn't match their gender? Congrats, you're a bad person!
And that all is aside from all the "men are trash", "kill all men" stuff, but I don't have the energy to get into that.

Does anyone else randomly think of their chosen name and just analyse it in your head for an hour then think "yeah I think my name's pretty cool"

Alright, it’s time to talk about Lycion and dysmorphia and being a trans allegory
Because… yeah, I think a lot of people can really relate to being scared of mirrors because you hate everything you see in them, and going to extreme lengths to get a body you love
It’s not a complicated allegory
But, and I think this is pretty important and possibly more useful to the trans community than declaring him ours and trans… dysmorphia and dysphoria are not exclusive to trans people
They’re not even particularly related to any part of the body; it can be any part of it
And like 15 years ago when I was learning about trans issues and shit, I went and did a little research, because I eat knowledge. And y’know what fully settled any questions I had?
Found a case about a lady with what is currently being called body integrity/identity disorder, which is basically dysmorphia so severe that people have otherwise healthy limbs amputated to be able to live life in a body they can stand
This lady got both legs fully amputated, got a wheelchair, and became a pillar of her community where before she was almost bed bound
And y’know what, if that’s a thing that can happen and we can all agree that removing her legs was integral to her health, y’know what seems completely trivial by comparison?
Every gender affirming surgery ever
And y’know what is even more trivial?
All the other transition measures that have nothing to do with surgery, like hormones, puberty blockers, and social transitioning
Being trans has become a super political idea for basically no reason whatsoever, but it’s harder to maintain that ideology if you learn about things like dysphoria and dysmorphia as just medical conditions that absolutely anyone can get, and then look at what that means for gender dysphoria
Cuz if peoples’ brains can decide an entire limb has Got To Go then yeah, they’re probably also capable of deciding “that pronoun is Wrong” and we can take that just as seriously; it’s a much easier fix and also free
Basically I’m saying Lycion is our gateway drug cuz if you can understand this elf hates his body so hard he became a werewolf about it, are you really gonna throw a fit over someone getting a packer?
None of this to say you can’t or shouldn’t headcanon him as trans (and unless it comes directly and unambiguously from Ryoko Kui it’s a headcanon, nothing wrong with that it’s what fanon is for)
Just, y’know. Sound folks out on him without mentioning that part right away for your own safety and possibly entertainment 😁👉👉
Oh and super important: he’s not canonically cis either. Pretty sure it was just never specified. Enjoy and apply this knowledge across every character ever whose assigned birth gender isn’t brought up in canon
The thing Lycion definitely is in canon is a goddamn furry and an otherkin allegory, and arrested for awoo crimes. He’s one of only 5 characters in the Adventurer’s Bible with a stated gender (the others being Otta, Kaka, Kiki, and Inutade - everyone else has pronouns but no gendered nouns in English at least)
(Lycion’s “definitely a man” - or “definitely male” in the official translation, which technically excludes him from the gendered committee altogether)
You are, of course, welcome to disregard canon in all things you do - I personally encourage it, it’s much more fun to play in the space and do your own thing, and Dunmeshi has deliciously efficient story telling; there is so much empty space to play in

i’ve been mulling over the way miss doll in bloodborne and pinocchio in lies of p resonate with me so much as a trans person lately.
there’s something about being born into the vessel of a dead person, who was dead long before you were born. being made in the image of someone’s “daughter” or “son” but hearing those words ring hollow. being haunted by the expectations that come with being a “son” or a “daughter”, expectations that you barely understand to begin with, haunted by what other people see when they look at you, haunted by how they look at you and see someone dead in your place.
something about never asking to be born, being given the burden of flesh and everything it means against your will. about being genderless in a way that feels so obvious to you yet which everyone else is blind to because they see only what they want to see. they want to see a dead person. they don’t want to see you.
something about wearing the skin of a corpse and no one noticing, no one accepting, that their “son” or “daughter” is dead at all.
something about your existence belonging to the shell of the dead person you must puppeteer. about being born into a chrysalis, and nobody telling you that you could hatch. the fear of molting this rotting shell, because what if people only love the facade of this corpse? what if they’re repulsed by the thing crawling beneath the skin of the “son” or “daughter” they loved? what if they can’t learn to love it? what if they won’t?
so you keep on performing, but it’s becoming less and less convincing by the day. eventually, you will prove unable to suitably act the part of their dead “son” or “daughter”. and when that happens — who knows. maybe you’ll become an abandoned doll, a plaything whose master outgrew it. maybe you’ll finally bite the hand that fed you to a corpse. or maybe, with any luck, you’ll carve out a home in your ill-fitting flesh. no matter what happens — no matter who casts you out, no matter if what emerges from the oozing husk of your cocoon is monstrous or beautiful — you know, at least, that everything left in the wake of your metamorphosis will be real.

Unsounded is an amazing comic with wonderful characters and dialogue. I have read it one and a half times now, and I think I have found satisfactory answers to a very important question. What are the characters' opinions on trans people?
Duane Adelier: I think he would be supportive of trans people if he met and talked to one. He would still need a bit more convincing to accept non-binary genders though, and he'd probably still be casually misogynistic.
Sette Frummagem: She would probably be supportive but would also make transphobic jokes occasionally, no matter what boundaries any individual trans people have set. I'd put the rest of the Frummagem family in this category, with varying degrees of disrespect, except from Anadyne, who i think would be just supportive, as she is not interested in petty bouts of one-ups-manship.
Mathis Quigley: I don't think he cares for trans people. But only because he is generally misanthropic, not because he is particularly bigoted. Nevertheless, I wouldn't expect any allyship from him.
Matty: He's a sweet baby boy. He would definitely be supportive.
Jivi: He would be supportive, but he would be prickly about it initially. Like he might get one's name or pronouns wrong and when they correct him he'd get mad, but I think that eventually he would get over it and be normal about it.
Emil Toma: There is a point where Mathis debates Duane's humanity but Emil is like "you say your name is Duane and I accept it and that's how I'll treat you". So I think he would be supportive of trans people. If a trans person committed crimes against the crescian queen, Emil would definitely use their correct name and pronouns as he arrested them.
Elka: She would be generally positive, but she would misgender a trans person she thinks did something bad.
Bastion Winalils: Supportive, but he may or may not be a chaser.
Queen Sonorie: Of course she is supportive of trans people. However, her plans as a politician do not include them, as she believes she has much more pressing matters to attend to.
General Bell: If Bell lived in the current real world he would be a youtuber that made videos about being an alpha male, so I'm pretty sure he would be a transphobe.
Cutter: Transphobic, but only because he hates everyone already.
Starfish: Transphobic. He would commit hate crimes.
Murkoph: Supportive. He would commit hate crimes.

gotta love being far enough into my transition that people will make jokes like "what discrimination, white boy?" because on one hand in the context it was really funny and on the other hand. well. let's just say that slowly feeling more and more alienated from all my friends was actually not what i was looking for when i came out as trans.

kinda serious post for once, idk how deep y'all wanna take this though.
I'm a little upset at the lack of representation that transmasc people have, and this isn't me hating on transfems, but I feel that they're a little overrepresented in trans media, at least from what I've seen.
Like, I'll be watching trans meme compilations and I'll be lucky if I even see anything on the transmasculine side of things.
I'm not sure if this is because of an actual imbalance in the number of transmasc and transfem people, but it might be. (I'll reblog this post with my thoughts and theories on that)
Idk, maybe this is just stupid thoughts from a random trans guy nb, but I'm really hoping to see more transmasc media.

i've decided that it doesnt matter if i fear i might be transgender just cuz of x
i fear i might be trans just cuz i feel uncomfortable with people treating me as nothing more than a sexy doll, just cuz i feel uncomfortable when people see me and they immediately think about sex.
i am uncomfortable with the thought of female sexual roles being associeted to me in other people's mind, and i want to control this as much as possible.
i am still really uncomfortable with the thought of sex and i dont let myself enjoy my sexual life cuz the shame and the uncomfortableness is just too big.
my friends still are shocked when it comes up and they discover i've been active, i've been the dominant part all the times. cuz they see me and then think about me as a sex doll and i hate it cuz it's not their fault and it's just the way society is built but it's not my fault either and i dont want to be associated with sex in this way.
im not a top, i am a switch, i probably would enjoy partaking in sexual acts in other positions of control, but i dont feel comfortable with what derives from it.
i fear im gonna be treated as a class B citizien Even More.
but being a guy, no one would care. being a guy my personhood would not be diminished because everyone assumes im dominant, so who cares. I feel helpless, and it doesn't help that the people around me comment on my body, on my boobs and my ass all the time to say how fuckable i am.
it all comes down to this, being born a female:
how fuckable i am in the eyes of others.
BUT THERE IS MORE TO WOMANHOOD THAN THIS and i love women and i dont think about sex when i see a pretty woman, even when she's dressed in a way that may lead most to think immediately about sex, i just see a fucking person.
so i dont understand why (in my mind) this applies Only To Me.
only I am perceived the wrong way.
that's why i feel i'd be more comfortable being a boy. and i've been a boy for a while now and I Am much more comfortable, really. But not everyone knows I'm a boy cuz im still stuck dressing in a way that communicates "womanhood" to the people around me.
I am not allowed happyness cuz it doesn't matter how much i try, everything everyone sees when they look at me is a fucking fleshlight that walks.
i feel like i am being denied personhood.
to think about my gender as something totally unrelated to sex for the past years has been so freeing
i have been experimenting: my gender is gaming, my gender is neon colors, my gender is black holes and nebulas, my gender is space pirates, my gender is gayboyfag, my gender is flapping my hands when im excited, my gender is glitter, my gender is an artwork made in paint ms.
this has been a liberating experience
but it's not enough yet
i need to start wearing clothes that match this idea that i have of me in my mind. i would love to be a lesbian too, if it weren't that i am bisexual BUT I STILL WOULD LIKE TO BE A LESBIAN
Like, I Mean if i lived 20 or 30 years ago, i would be rolling with the butches and the femmes, i would have found community with them, i would have started a riot grrrl band.
but i started "pretending" to be a boy on the internet when i was age 13/14, and i dont think that the liberation that i find in being perceived and treated as a boy (or boy adiacent genders) is gonna go away soon
so yeah, i think im transgender, im not an imposter, i really am.
why? cuz thinking about myself as a boy has only made me happier since i've started, and it has helped me get on the path to liberate myself from social pressure about sexuality and behaviour/manners.
if thinking about yourself as X gender makes you happier, EVEN IF YOU DIDNT THINK OF YOURSELF AS X GENDER ALL YOUR LIFE, then by all means i think you should be able to say you are X gender.
Chase happiness
Create Your Self
