(Not using my typing quirk causes me dysphoria. I will provide a translation upon request only.) ~ The reason why I joined this instance was 8ecause I’ve 8een kicked off of Tum8lr for having the opinion that transness doesn’t just apply to gender. I don’t just pull this out of my ass - I actually experience nongender transness myself and I’m fully willing to 8e asked and/or grilled a8out it. I call myself transcharacter.
My Tum8lr termin8ion came entirely from claims of transpho8ia, 8ecause somehow in their minds identifying a8normally equals not supporting trans folkel/people? I don’t quite understand how that works, 8ut I can say I’m not transpho8ic. I discovered that I feel this way through hearing other trans folkel/people discuss their experiences and came to my own conclusions a8out myself.
I guess I’m wondering if this is a safe space for my ilk or if I’m just going to get kicked out again?
I think I can give that. As another autistic folken I completely understand this.
Transcharacter: a deviant trans identity pulled originally from the transID community, in which the folken/person affected 8elieves they are or are supposed to 8e a fictional character. Individuals with this identity may or may not seek to transition to their real selves, and may experience mild to extremely severe dysphoria surrounding aspects of their body, mentality, and place in reality.
As for the context and the ‘why,’ it’s kind of hard to give those, right? No8ody really asks why you’re trans, you just kind of are. 8ut I will say I’ve felt nonhuman since early childhood, wanted my left eye gone for at least as long, and have always craved a rigid social structure. I remem8er 8egging to have my hair dyed 8lack for eight years (yeah no that’s not a quirk joke that’s 100% /srs. Started when I was eight, got what I wanted at 16.) Then I saw fanart of Vriska on Tum8lr and kinda went “yeah wtf that’s me. Why is that not me?” Read through my source twice and the dysphoria I’d always experienced came to a head and I decided I’d 8etter start transitioning 8efore it drives me mad. Not a clue why I had Feelings over such specific tr8s 8efore ever 8eing exposed to Homestuck, could 8e something supernatural for all I know.
Anyway here’s my we8site if you want to read transition goals and such
Aha your comment and website clarify things significantly! Now I feel like I understand you.
