#fuck you bigots tripping over yourselves to claim a trans headcanon is actually sexist and racist

you're SO right, my apologies to the women of... *checks notes* 17th century Japan for ignoring their real struggles. the things i said on tumblr in the year 2023 must have been really hurtful for them to read.

look at yourself in the mirror, make eye contact through it, and answer these questions: do you think that sexism doesn't exist outside of Japan? do you think sexism doesn't exist in places where white people are from? do you think that only white people can be trans, or that Japanese people can't be?

i've seen this shit-tier argument quite a few times with minor variations and my takeaway from it is "wow, it is really fucking racist to act like sexism is solely unique to Asia." like, do you people ever read back what you wrote and actually think about what you've said?

sexism exists all around the world, trans people exist all around the world. historical cases of "women" who lived their lives as men exist all around the world. sexism existing and trans men existing are not mutually exclusive.

Remind me, how many other women in the show are dressing up and living as men? None? But aren't they all facing oppressive sexism? So why is only Mizu living as a man? Here is a little secret I'll let you in on as a trans person: we will take any excuse to be ourselves. "I'm going to dress and live as a man because of sexism!" is a great example of that.

The way you guys talk about it you'd think near damn every woman in the world would be living as a man, but actually, shockingly, women don't want to live as men. You know who does want to live as men? Trans men, shocker I know!

Anyways, I'm always gonna say Mizu Blue Eye Samurai is a trans man no matter how many straws you transphobes grasp for.

#fuck you bigots tripping over yourselves to claim a trans headcanon is actually sexist and racist #like oppression is a fucking competition #classic crab bucket bullshit #because obviously if mizu is trans that's stealing representation from cis women (because cis women are sooooo underrepresented) #''well we mean women of color'' there are way more stories led by cis women of color than by trans men of ANY race #and what about trans men of color? do they not get to see themselves in anything because that'd be stealing representation from woc? #santagno #blue eye samurai #<- putting in the tag bc honestly fuck you coming to MY HOUSE to say this dumb shit when the post this is responding to is NOT in the tag #turning off my asks now. y'all can seethe
