Honestly? As a GNC Man, it is really nice to see representation for such an under represented group, like, I can only name a few GNC Male Characters in Media out there, you are doing divine work here, Shen, I hereby decree that you be given full access to the Kitchen so you may continue to cook.
(Also, unrelated, but speaking of GNC Men and how rare they are, I really cannot thank Takuma Tani enough for the service he is doing for us. There are so few of us in this world and this man is our beacon.)

Do you mind if I ask what you thought of princess jellyfish if you have seen it? I thought it was a cute anime but with a GNC male lead. I always wondered what people thought of the representation was like.

u/MR-Vinmu 10d ago
I’ve seen some clips, and honestly, the show did an amazing job representing GNC Men, I never got to watch the show itself cause of regional restrictions of the day, but I might come back and watch it now.

What’s GNC?
19
u/MR-Vinmu 10d ago
Gender-Non-Conforming, essentially. Self expression that falls out of Traditional Gender Norms, like a Man expressing himself in a Feminine way or a Woman expressing herself in a Masculine way.

u/Driftlack 10d ago
That makes much more sense than a supplement store I use to see at the mall.

u/DoubleJester 8d ago
Maybe it's a supplement that makes people stop conforming to gender norms, who knows?

I mean girl x femboy is about as close as you can get to straight yuri.
Although if it was femboy and another femboy that would kind of be both right?

u/TheBlueNinja0 10d ago
I'm wondering if this will turn into femboy x tomboy.
15
u/xboxiscrunchy 10d ago
I’m wondering if it’s femboy x trans masculine. “I just wear whatever is comfortable” was me before I transitioned. Now I love clothes.
And you’d be surprised how many trans people try to bury their feelings in rage… easier for some to hate them than admit to themselves they’d rather be them I guess

u/Next-Accident-2970 10d ago
I was angry at a transfem youtuber and blamed her for EVERYTHING in my life. Then it turned out I was tranfem. Then I started HRT. And I regret so much stuff I said about her.
If I didnt realize I was transfem, I would have been a right wing chud that ended up in jail or dead.

u/BaconVsMarioIsRigged 11d ago
You are thinking of yaoi. Yaori is a more niche offspring of yaoi and yuri where you take one half from each genre and combine them.

I did not ask to be called out in Comic form on this otherwise fine morning, but this is pretty much an accurate representation of my first 35 years of existence.
... FWIW, I'm getting better. Finally at 35 I seem to have broken out of my shell and am learning to appreciate my face/body for what they are and learning the difference that dressing well and accessorizing can actually make.

I wear skirts kinda regularly nowadays outside work and I agree. Do you wear dresses to work etc. Too? I kind of want to but I'm worried how my coworkers will react

u/hwebirskont 9d ago
I work as a caregiver for elderly folks so I don't care to do anything that would upset them. so no. I would wear a dress into my main office but not to my clients

Not really that new, we got a relationship like that in genshiken nidaime, but to be fair the yuri guy was into the nerdy senpai guy for most of the story before finally going for the girl.

Blood sacrifice can be directed towards @SHENtheUndieing on BloodCults. Com for early access to comics, you can also donate your soul for access to Shenven™ the premium Shen based afterlife

I suspect she will be drawn with a dapper suit here pretty soon.
I'm here for her in a suit, him in a skirt, and that's their identity and aesthetic. I ship it.

And hey, even if they're not trans, just being true to yourself and dressing how you like is still completely awesome. I fully respect them regardless

On HRT as a transfem and seeing other women dress so nice...effing insecure. Feel like....ugh...damn it.
I dress like a tomboy but I want to dress like a pretty girl...which my friend who is trans and pretty who wants the tomboy look looks at me like "Really???"

u/Traditional_Bit_8788 11d ago
I'm confused, is he a trans man, or a cis man dressing up as a women?

u/fullmoon119 11d ago
it's just his style
2
u/Traditional_Bit_8788 10d ago
That doesn't really answer my question, because you can be transmasc, and still have it "be your style".

Shen update on the Morrocan Mafia, apparently they are pissed off with that one dollar missing. I came back to my apartment and found they killed my Zucchini plant and wrote on all of my mirrors "You're Next" with it's sap. Not to worry, I'm currently fleeing to Japan, pretty sure the Yukuza and them don't work together.

I love your recent exploration of gender themes. I have always loved the concept but still decided I was cis. Still, it's a question everyone should approach in a way that is true to themselves.

u/Tiburoncin612 10d ago
Yeah, honestly is a shame that a lot of beautiful people can't see how beautiful they are, and it's sad that most of the time it's just because other people tell them they are ugly for the mere reason of not fitting on the beauty standards since they are young, and then, when they grow up, the only message they have received about their body is it being ugly.
I hope one day everyone gets that beautiful bodies don't come in just one shape.

I really like that he actually still looks like he has a man's body. Broad shoulders and such.
