If you’re not a trans woman, and you’re headcanoning a character meant to be read as male, or who is canonically male, as a trans women instead…you should probably take a step back.
If trans women have rallied around a communal headcanon of that character as a trans woman, then that’s a green light.
On the other hand, if you’re crushing on a male character and decide to HC that character as a trans woman to suit your lesbian sexuality, then that’s not good, and you’re being transmisogynistic by equating cis men with trans women. We’re not cis men. We’re not a vehicle for folks to try to escape or process their compulsory heterosexuality baggage, especially since all that cissexist, transmisogynistic, fetishistic bullshit blows up on us instead of those who are using us.
So really, just cool it with HCing male characters as trans women if you’re not a trans woman, because 95%+ of the time, you have really bad reasons for it, and we don’t deserve it. There’s zounds of female characters to HC as trans women, why don’t you folks run with that, hrm?
Mutual aid is essential to the survival of so many, and that’s why I am making (another) post listing some people in need of financial help.

i swear i can’t do this anymore. i can’t keep listening to my coworkers and roommates constantly misgendering me and calling me by my deadname. i’m pretty sure i’m going to lose my job if i transition and my roommates constantly make transphobic and homophobic jokes in front of me, but my dysphoria makes me want to literally kill my self every single day and i can’t take it anymore. i have to transition but it’s going to be so hard. i so desperately need gender affirming clothes, money for hrt and doctors visits, and other things to ensure my safety during my transition. i only make minimum wage so i really have money for none of that but it’s going to kill me if i have to stay in the closet much longer. i just need to transition, it’s my only option.
forced diversity is not a thing, though it can be handled poorly people wanting to be represented in media is not forced.
anti sjws LOVE to argue that having a diverse cast of characters is “pandering to the sjws” but it’s not… like… that? the world is FULL of diversity and if a character is disabled, LGBT, or a person of color, it’s not impossible to find someone who fits that exact description.
like i said, diversity can be handled poorly but having diverse characters isn’t bad. people wanting to see themselves represented isn’t bad. stop throwing a tantrum when you’ve got thousands of media to chose from to find a white character to relate to.

Hey, I’m Delores. As a trans woman of color, I have had the worst luck with trying to find long term employment, or a stable, safe environment where I can channel my energy and creativity into my clothing line, so that I can support myself financially.
This is a kickstarter of sorts, not just for my brand, but also for my health and well being; I’m running low on food, and my housing situation is temporary, so I don’t have much time to get back on my feet. I just need some help surviving until I can support myself. If you’re not able to donate, you could still help by sharing this post, or spreading the hashtag #DEEPSLEEPCOUTURE on IG, Twitter, or Tumblr to bring a larger audience to my brand!
