Oh dear… (cw: needle and syringe)
(Fan Art!)
I think Eddie is afraid of needles and dreads doing his T-shot each week. It’s not that he doesn’t want the T, but he’d prefer it didn’t come from a nasty poke every Monday. Thank the stars Frank always remembers. Now that I’m thinking about it, Eddie would genuinely forget sometimes if he’d done it. Poor sap.
If it’s not obvious, this is based purely on my experience with T-shots 😅 it might be silly, but it’s a comforting thought to me that Eddie might share my struggle haha. I’m very blessed to have people in my life willing to help me 🩷

The world would be a better place if cis people understood the concepts of gender euphoria and dysphoria as things that everyone experiences, not just trans people.
The woman is not wearing makeup and a short skirt for male attention. She is doing that because it gives her gender euphoria as a woman.
On a more serious note, if a man doesn't feel comfortable to wear a pink shirt; eat a pink ice cream; listen to a female singer who is popular; express his feelings; drink fruity juices; hold his girlfriend's purse; say certain words; act with kindness towards his loved ones; apologize; deescalate conflict; watch a movie enjoyed by women; play with a small and fluffy animal; because he thinks these things make him look girly, less manly or "nor a real man", that is no way to live. That man is experiencing intense levels of gender dysphoria and he needs help.
I feel like people only look at men like that and laugh and call them sexist. Some of them might be and they need to be called out for it, but I feel like gender dysphoria is very common in cis men and we should be calling it what it is.
A cis man doesn't "feel uncomfortable" when he paints his nails for the first time, he gets dysphoric. Just like the cis woman who wears jeans during summer because she forgot to shave her legs and is embarassed about it.
Dysphoria happens to cis people, All. The. Time. Pass the message on.

Oh my! Such a adorable little gurl! She's dressed so sweet. Sweet like a shopping mall candy shop in downtown Tokyo. Delicious like a piece of sweet hard rock candy with a delightful creme center that you slowly unwrap then put into your mouth and slowly,ever so slowly let melt into you mouth, And then pop the sweet creme filling bursts into your mouth and it's so yummie! And one is never enough.

give me transmasc characters who still like wearing skirts and makeup and looking pretty.
give me transfem characters who are tomboys or androgynous.
give me trans characters who don't change their name.
give me non-binary characters who have typically masculine or feminine names.
give me non-binary characters in pink dresses and grey suits.
give me characters, trans and cis, who don't give a shit about pronouns and responds to any.
give me cis characters who are completely androgynous and still cis.
give me cis women with facial hair.
give me cis men with tits or wide hips.
give me cis women who are taller than average and cis men who are shorter than average.
give me cis characters who go by a different set of pronouns.
give me cishet characters who uses the term "partner" instead of gendered terms.
let's abolish the idea of gender norms completely, instead of unconsciously reinforcing new ones.

If you pay attention to TIRFs (trans inclusive radical feminists) you will find they talk about trans people two ways.
One is that all trans people are women. That is, trans women are women, but also trans men are female socialized so they are close enough, and non-binary people can be mushed in as cis women or trans women as needed.
The other is that trans women are women (good, pure, innocent), trans men are men (bad, impure, guilty), and non-binary are mushed in as cis or binary trans, (evil) man or (virtuous) women, as needed.
Even when radfems are not TERFs, they are still bioessentialist.
