FUN FACT: Samus Aran is trans. Hirofumi Matsuoka, who helped work on the original design for Samus Aran, called her a "ニューハーフ" or "newhalf", which is early Japanese 90s slang for "trans woman". The term also implies that she did not have bottom surgery. In Metroid Zero Mission, Metroid Other M, and official manga, younger Samus is depicted as a little girl, which would mean that her transition must have come early in her life so her height has nothing to do with her being trans. Also, just look at how Samus reacted to being called a lady in Metroid Other M!

I've always obviously been a trans ally. But I've just never been given this perspective.

I was born left-handed. I am now for the most part ambidextrous, except that I can't use either hand all that well. I grew up in a school that had a lot of teachers who thought left-handedness was "of the devil" and would punish any kids caught using their left hand as their dominant hand. They screwed me over. If I could remember their names, I would be tempted to hunt them down and hit them with a yardstick until the cops show up.

This was a public school. Now days, there are very few people who will harass you for being openly gay. Some people may mutter to themselves about this or that, but they tend to not bother the openly gay person. The few who do tend to get harassed by witnesses for being homophobic lol.

I am only 5'1" and learned early on to make friends with the biggest person in the room first. So most bullies would think twice. Most of my adult life has been spent in and around the gay community. Fairly insular if you think about it. I wasn't exactly in a bubble because I worked in the straight world, a restaurant. But most of my free time and most of my income was spent in and on the gay community. I guess that was maybe a subconscious way of protecting myself. Things were different back in the '80s and '90s.

Sure, it'll still feel kinda off, since you know they think your pronouns are this rather than that, but still, it's better than English **rolls eyes** It has its little flaws tho, like when you are writing to a girl and autocorrect thinks she's a boy (because our keyboard uses 拼音，which is the pronunciation of the word).

It's been very enlightening and an absolutely wonderful experience so far, very similar to discovering my asexuality, and has helped a lot considering how transphobic my dad is.

In Genesis 11:6, God said about humanity: "Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." In other words, the reason why God confused the people's languages in the Tower of Babel was not because they were sinful. It was because their teamwork was so good that it made them LITERALLY OMNIPOTENT when working together as a group! So, yeah. Trans people, you can really replace God. All you need is a common language that connects you all!

[@mad_pac-man]

I find it hilarious that this is a thing too...Like, this is HARD evidence the bible was written by humans with no understanding of the real world. It doesn't matter if people speak the same language or not. We would NEVER team up like this. Humanity seeks out fights, war, and control. We, as a species would have to be without those urges, or we'd never have that kind of power. But...individual groups, like trans and non-binary people, COULD all team up and become greater than god. True, there would be outliers like Blaire White, but those are EXTREME exceptions to the rule. Generally, most of us have our heads on straight, and we can make it happen. Hmm....Maybe that's what far-right Christians are so scared of...They KNOW we can defeat their god. LOL

Makes me feel a lot less alienated (as a nonbinary person who used to be dysphoric when I thought I was binary, and no longer feel dysphoric after 3 years on HRT and becoming more comfortable with my gender not being binary). Too many people, even other trans people, try SO HARD to exclude us non-dysphoric trans people and dismiss our experiences as "faking" or "following a trend" or "taking up resources for 'REAL' trans people," so it feels really good to see a comic tackling the subject of dysphoria while making it clear that the experience isn't universal among ALL trans people.

Don't think you're gonna kill yourself or anything, just trying to play it safe here). 2) Your life can change for the better in an instant. So don't give up hope, because if I (a neurodivergent asshole recovering from a years-long guilt complex that left me believing I was undeserving of love or friendship, very long and complex story, would be a documentary if anyone knew about it) can sort my shit out, make new friends, find new things to live for, and ultimately come out on top, SO CAN YOU!

[@GidragAnton]

As a Heathen (capitalized for reasons), I was excited when I saw that the editor put Thrymskvitha as a reference to OT's "gods have been trans" statement. It's one of the old Norse poems and one of my personal favourites. To simplify it, Thor finds out that Mjollnir has been stolen by Jotnar and decides to get it back. He discusses it with some of the gods and one of them then comes up with the idea that Thor should dress as a woman and present himself as the bride to be for the king of the Jotnar and Loki decides to come along to act as a bridesmaid (and let's face it, he lives for these shenanigans). Thor impresses the king with his lust for food, ale, and combat by eating and drinking more than the rest of the king's court and fighting off every single one of the giants on his own and requests his mighty hammer as the dowry for their marriage. There are variations of this story, mostly because things can easily get muddled when they're not properly recorded for centuries and there's always a bit of uncertainty in the translations we have, but the basic premise is mostly the same between them.

[@NightWing1800]

There's more than one to think of what a man ought to be, and often even cisgendered men are burdened by societies expectation for what a man should be. You might be more comfortable presenting masculine, but that doesn't mean you have to buy into toxic views of masculinity. I find that a good way to explore questions like this is through stories. They're able to tackle philosophical questions as characters acting rather than as abstract theory. If you're a fan of Avatar the Last Airbender, there's a video by hello future me that reframes Iroh's character and personal story as one about fatherhood and him being a positive male role model for zuko contrasted by Ozai's toxic masculinity. You can also view your favorite characters who are women or who aren't gendered and see what aspects of them draw them to you and what parts of them you either see in yourself or look up to. Maybe you want to present more masculine and adopt masculine social traits, but there are parts of those characters you don't want to leave behind. Being able to recognize what parts of masculinity and what parts of femininity you like can help you decide who you ultimately want to be. I recently decided I want to transition and so even though I'm explore parts of femininity I like and want to be a part of there are still parts of masculinity that I've chosen to still strive for.

Go look up if Loki is trans/genderfluid. There you go. Have a good life my friend. Don’t forget to keep going. You are permitted to take a break once in a while, but don’t let that bring you all the way back to the start. Also: Thanks to OT for bieng supportive to everyone who needs it! I don’t, but I know that some people do.
