What Happens Next: A Gallimaufry

If trans Fenris is unpleasant to you or makes you uncomfortable and you are cis, then you really need to think about why that is. 

If you don’t share the headcanon or you’re simply not interested in trans Fenris, that’s one thing. That’s fine. Discomfort with or distaste for the idea is something else. 

What my body looks like is a neutral fact right up until you assign some negative value to it. Moreover, my body can’t be separated from me or my identity. When you assign a negative value to my body, you assign it to me. 

But this doesn’t have to be the end of the line. Please examine your reactions. Figure out why his transness makes you uncomfortable. See what you can do to change that. I’m happy to talk if you’re open to listening. 

reblogging because bullfinch is an amazing writer of an amazing fenris who does not deserve this bullshit

and I mean: if you are reading queer fanfic, but find yourself repulsed by a particular type of queer representation? then maybe you should just not

  4. zestiriia said: I’m uncomfortable with trans headcanons for characters because they seem more like gimmicks and projections then a genuine interest in exploring the complexities and difficulties that a trans person goes through. It always comes off like, “look! my favourite character is wearing a binder just like me! being trans is fun!!” rather than anything genuine. It’s irrelevant but since many people won’t hear me out if I don’t say this, yes, I’m trans. Does my opinion on this matter now?
