• the only thing stopping steph from completely dying her hair purple is she’d have to hide her hair when she’s spoiler but she looks cunty asf running around w her hair loose
• duke is one of the 7% of americans who thought chocolate milk comes from brown cows. he didn’t really think about it critically enough

• duke forgets he has super powers all the time. someone calls him a meta and he’s like “who???? me?????”
• jason makes fun of dick for being a stanley girl but secretly has a red one to keep his water cold in bc like i said he only drinks cold water
I don’t really know how to explain this, but that thing where “nice, middle class white ladies” infantilise (particularly young, particularly ND) trans men IS A THREAT.
The idea that you’re too young, too vulnerable, too easily influenced, too mentally ill to make your own medical decisions IS A DIRECT THREAT, and it is one with which the target audience are *deeply* familiar.
It is a threat of institutionalisation, social exclusion, direct removal of your rights and freedoms, of having your children, your job, your home, your ability to live independently, removed and - in the worst case - of forced medication and sterilisation. It is the abusive-maternal voice, telling you to “stop this behaviour now, or there will be Consequences.”
It’s the, “don’t mind her, she’s just at a difficult age/doing it for the attention,” which means you are not going to get the help you need, but you are going to be forced to accept all sorts of things you are not. It is the one by which we are removed from public spaces and punished endlessly in private until we conform.
It is a social control mechanism and it is one with which many of us are *deeply* familiar, and by which we are incredibly traumatised.
It is a dog whistle.
It means, to them, “don’t worry, I’m taking care of this,” and, “the situation is being contained.” To transmascs, it lets us know they are not going to let us get away with it, and it is directly intended to dredge up a lot of very, very deep early trauma.
