Anonymous: Why is it transphobic to draw genderbent characters? I really don't understand

  • it erases nb identities and treats trans ppl like shit in general
  • erases the fact that intersex ppl exist
  • treats gender like a binary, which it isnt
  • equating gender to literally any physical characteristic, treating physical characteristics like they are indicative of gender
  • treating trans ppl like fantasy shit that could never happen in real life
  • literally just pretending trans ppl dont exist to get ppls gross cis rocks off ?
  • a lot of them r super misogynistic too
  • shitty lameass excuses like “i just wanna see this character as another gender!” like bullshit, if u wanted that u could just have a trans hc. in stead u did this nasty damaging transphobic crap that im not gonna fuckin tolerate for a single hot minute
  • someone once tried to excuse genderbends to me as if theyre “feminist” bc “media needs more women” and i was like “CIS WOMEN ONLY APPARENTLY LMAO ! BC TRANS WOMEN DON’T EXIST OR ANYTHING !!!”

literally i am out of patience for this bullshit and how much cis ppl do not fucking care if they’re doing something damaging as long as they can get off on it

Some random artist: I wonder what a lady version of [dude character] would look like

Some person on tumblr with more projection than the entire Drive-In movie Theater industry with high-profile breast implants: FUCKING TRANSPHOBIC PIECE OF SHIT, HOW FUCKING DARE YOU DO THAT INSTEAD OF WHAT I, PERSONALLY, WANT EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE UNAWARE OF MY EXISTENCE. YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO DRAW PEOPLE WHO PRESENT AS MEN OR WOMEN, TRANS ONLY, FUCK YOU, FUCK

It doesn’t erase shit, jesus fucking christ. It’s not damaging, either. It’s not ANY of the shit you’re saying. There’s nothing in that list that isn’t just projecting unwarranted anger and unnecessary victimization.

By your logic, ANY fanart that doesn’t personally cater to your tastes and representation requirements is “erasure” simply because it doesn’t have what you want in it.

It’s like calling a drawing of a puppy fucking kitten erasure because, fuck, if they wanted to draw an animal, they could’ve drawn a kitten

Drawing genderbends is nothing but people expressing their creativity by expounding upon new possibilities.  It doesn’t change the actual character, nor does it change your own headcanon.

You have absolutely no authority over what others choose to draw.  You also have no power to stop or prevent anyone from drawing whatever they please.  You are appropriating and trivializing very serious issues as justification for censorship.  You clearly have severe entitlement issues, and are painfully insecure in your own identity if a drawing in no way targeting you can shatter your faith in it.  No one is obligated to change their art just to accomodate you.  Your feelings end where our rights begin.
