to cis artists, yr allowed to draw trans characters to be clockable, in fact i encourage it. it’s not politically incorrect or offensive to depict trans people as being obviously trans, especially if you’re drawing cartoons. its not a stereotype a lot of us just look like that

i mean, i know a lot of trans people disagree, but eventually every ally has gotta bite the bullet & use their judgement to decide what’s best for the group they’re allied with. literally just give her stubble, it’s quick, it’s easy and it’s free.

coding is neutral, it’s just aesthetic, framing is what actually matters. no one’s out here calling ms frizzle an antisemetic caricature. its not racist that u can tell the one car in Cars that sells gas is black. when cartoons show a man in a dress & treat the contrast between makeup and body hair as being self evidently funny, that’s transphobia. but that doesnt mean its bad to have a big hairy man wear makeup in your illustrated works, thats just normal hot guy behavior

my opinion as always is that there are two important things we’ll regularly leave out of the conversation- everybody fixates on the simple look of a character (ie curves on a trans guy), but what is actually important is variety and characterisation. so, you might think “ugh another show about gay people where their arc is the bigotry they face”, the issue isn’t “depicting what we often really experience is bad”, as some people frame it, the issue is the lack generally of variety. when a character wears a dress as a joke, it’s framed as a simple aesthetic issue of the show, but it’s really the inadequate characterisation to show this is a guy who likes to be dressing in a gender non-comforming way, and whether or not it results in judgement from others- heck, in school guys often did wear dresses as a joke on non-uniform days (I’m not american, it normally is a thing in my country that schools have uniforms), so having a guy wear one as a joke is possible, the world just needs variety in reasons and characters that carry those reasons in the shows, where you can tell the intent isn’t to mock trans/gnc folk. going back to op’s example, we need trans characters who don’t actually pass, but we need variety and characters that work with however they look- guys with curves who aren’t being made the simple butt of the joke, but rather are just a guy with curves, and both trans and cis guys like that (I know cis guys with hourglass figures pretty much). like op said, the aesthetics aren’t bad, they simply are badly executed a lot of the time. I’m a hairy person in makeup, and it has been a relief meeting people in hospital who actually don’t treat that as weird and funny, but just “dude, your eyeshadow is so well blended” and that’s it, and it’d be nice if we could see that energy in tv shows more. sorry to ramble btw op.

OP, I’m a trans woman and seeing clockable trans women in media gives me dysphoria

This is not a joke, I’m not exaggerating, I literally turn off what I’m watching

What now?

I’m sorry but your dysphoria isn’t anyone else’s problem. if someone else “gives you dysphoria” thats your cross to bear & not on them.

hi :3 the goal of trans liberation is not & will never be getting every trans person to pass. i’m autistic, i had a good ass chance to figure out that i was trans early in life considering my older sibling was trans & i had ample opportunity to learn what that meant, its just that i have a hard time identifying my emotions in the best of circumstances & don’t put much stake in how i’m perceived anyways. i take hormones to feel internally in balance with myself, but i didn’t voice train, i don’t wear women’s clothes, i don’t feel the need to shave regularly, i haven’t been gendered correctly by a stranger yet & that’s fine. i no longer feel like i went through the wrong puberty, so to speak, i’m just having a 2nd one now. we’ll always exist, representation isn’t just for you. we’re not just fighting for trans youth, we’re fighting for trans adults too.

and like, cis people are allowed to draw what literally exists in reality & always will. like yea they should consult a sensitivity reader but like, if your sensitivity reader tells you to make a character less visibly trans on the basis that its offensive to trans people who want to be invisible then i will veto that sensitivity reader lol
