To those Transvestigating Shen

https://youtube.com/shorts/ob1ZwUI-Zqk?si=PzgUkN9tOB8AGDJn

This has probably been done to death, but I feel like this video has a pretty good message in relation to what I've been seeing in some of this sub.

That being;

I don't think it's our place to care about whether or not Shen is cis, a repressing trans person, or some secret third option.

I'm sure those telling him to stop "repping" aren't doing it out of genuine malice. They probably just don't want someone to go through what they must have on their way to finding their true selves.

Yet my point still stands.

Whatever he is, it's HIS BUSINESS. Leave mothafuckas alone.

If Shen is or Isn't Trans is None of my buisness

Same goes for Toby Fox, Same goes for Pyro [i don't even have to specify If it's cynical or Tf2, it's been done to both]

All of these have produced great representation, Funny stories and general enjoyment. That's more than enough for me to like them

The Awnser to If Shen is trans, to if Toby is Queer or if Pyro is a girl wouldn't change anything... it would be nice to have a definite Yes/No, but we're human... there is no definite Yes/No

Hell, F1nnister... who actually WAS trans, may not be trans the way you expect them to be

Off the top of my head f1nnster was genderfluid, right?

I mean that still falls under the trans umbrella doesn't it

That's what i meant... so many people called Finister a transfem egg, and we ended up with "Wrong Formula right awnser"

Wait would he be transfem? Sense to be trans fem you have to be feminine and trans? Technically would a transgender man who is a femboy be transfem?

I'm a fem trans man and would be really unhappy if you called me transfem.

It's not really impossible though. Everyone feels differently about their gender, so it's best to just respect what people say they are and let them go on their own journey. You don't need to label everything.

Finn does say she is transfem and he is genderfluid. Is really up to them how they identify, but on streams and Insta I've seen Finn id as trans, transfem, femboy. All of that alongside being fluid.

(important note, she calls herself a femboy on some platforms for the explicit reason that she gets less death threats that way)

genderfluid people are trans, anyone not cisgender is part of the trans umbrella

I think people were assuming they were MtF though
