#sooooooo callinf them female just. soils all of that and also imposes weird dichotomies and implications that just. don’t exist for them

I don’t trust anyone who uses the phrase “female transformers” like……… they don’t have a different biological sex they just use different pronouns and arguably have - in some cases- distinct gender identity. But they’re not “females” …. Nor are any of them “male.”

But also it’s super annoying to have the contrast be “transformers” vs “FEMALE transformers”

I mean. C’mon.

#:| #once again I’m like. what’s with this mammal terminology when applied to she/her transformers #and why. why only them HMMMM #no one talks about he/him transformers like this #tf #tf idw #like ALSO it’s half the fun that they don’t need to worry about biological sex??? like it’s so much less complicated for anode and lug to #just start using she/her pronouns #and it’s not even necessary to distinguish gender separately from that for them #at least not narratively I’m not saying that they maybe don’t have their own complicated feelings #but yeah … I don’t think calling them male or female is helpful at all in fact it feels reductive #and then in terms of GENDER. they are not even employing the same terms or genders as us. the closest equivalent for their generic is like #our non-binary #which is fucking fantastic! #sooooooo callinf them female just. soils all of that and also imposes weird dichotomies and implications that just. don’t exist for them #and I love that it doesn’t exist for them it’s so nice and so freeing and I think a large draw for queer people #so. yeah I get annoyed #maccadam
