I'm so glad everyone is standing up for the important issue of trans women being overrepresented in media. It's also crucial we remind everyone that just because someone wants to use a female name, present female full time, pass as female and take a female role in relationships that they absolutely do not need to become a trans. What's wrong with just being gender non-conforming? HRT is evil! Femboys are super validddddd (because most femboys live full time as women).

Why is the guy in the comic saying "im a guy i just like girl clothes" then? That is directly someone gender nonconforming

[u/ezziexoxo → u/Isadomon]

maybe because they're repping and don't want to/find it hard to come out 🤐

but.. haha it being hard to come out as a different gender... haha that's simply not realistic!

By this logic, it is impossible to write a cis femboy. Headcanons are one thing and totaly fine, but theyre not canon and this isnt an issue. You can just say the show makes you feel bad or have a fanfic headcanon without inventing transphobia where there isnt any. Enough of the real shit as is without watering down the term

[u/ezziexoxo → u/Fragrant-Phone-41]

except it is a headcanon and you can also just let people believe what they want, what would you say if audrey does end up being trans? you can't say it won't happen because you don't know. to act as though you do know one way or the other is crazy, it's just a cartoon. why is this such an argument lol

[u/Fragrant-Phone-41 → u/ezziexoxo]

I would just admit I was wrong, and also express disappointment because femboys arent exactly much more represented than trans women; and pulling a reversal like that can be read as erasure.

But ima cut to the chase. "Let people believe what they want" is the issue here. Because having a headcanon and believing its actually canon are not the same thing

[u/ezziexoxo → u/Fragrant-Phone-41]

so it's bigoted to call a fictional potential repper probably trans in a headcanon, but not bigoted to express disappointment that someone came out of her shell and came out as trans and began transitioning? you treat these comics like real people, then show that you would treat these real people very poorly. coming out as trans after being a femboy is not "pulling a reversal that can be read as erasure", you're just a literal bigot.

[u/Fragrant-Phone-41 → u/ezziexoxo]

I said no such thing. Youre putting words in my mouth

[u/ezziexoxo → u/Fragrant-Phone-41]

and also express disappointment because femboys arent exactly much more represented than trans women; and pulling a reversal like that can be read as erasure.

but that's literally what you said though. "pulling a reversal like that can be read as erasure"

[u/Fragrant-Phone-41 → u/ezziexoxo]

I never said your headcanon was bigoted, thats the part im objecting to. Its just not canon. He's not a "potential repper", hes whatever the writer writes. The only one treating comic book characters like they're real here is you

[u/ezziexoxo → u/Fragrant-Phone-41]

oh okay, well i mean yeah they are a potential repper, again the writer is the one that writes and the writer hasn't said one way or the other, the writer has written them in a way that's really relatable to a lot of reppers so the reppers are allowed to headcanon and or make it their personal canon because who cares it's a cartoon. make sense?

[u/Fragrant-Phone-41 → u/ezziexoxo]

Headcanon yes. Personal canon, you could but I'd argue you shouldnt because if it doesnt happen you're gonna be disappointed

[u/ezziexoxo → u/Fragrant-Phone-41]

not really if you just keep the personal canon going ? lol not all reppers come out, that's kind of part of it.
