Weekly Trans Megathread for the Week of 3/25 - 3/31
(hexbear.net)
Unjust Depths, on 7.5
Woah Hunter III's leviform detransformation/shedding is hardcore as fuck, uncritical support to the meat-machine death salamander which is actually a small lady. Body horror CW did not disappoint, who needs a diver when you can become a many-eyed sinewy sea monstrosity???
Anyway, dear Potomac, engineer for Norn, please stop doing psychomechanical synchronisation of pilot and diver, I have watched NGE and know where this is going. Yes I do appreciate that you say "normies", in quotes, without irony, but you cannot continue with this brain plug stuff using grey matter grown from stem cells =) Divers should not bleed on their pilots or cause hallucinations!
Having said all of that though, Potomac's presence and commentary does make the Sunlight foundation considerably more interesting. Kind of split between being weird traditionalists (WE MUST RETVRN TO HUMANITY'S NATURAL PLACE) and technofetishists (WE WILL DO IT WITH WEIRD PSIONICS MACHINES AND TRANSHUMANISM), very based. I was wondering what they were up to after they were introduced in like book 2, so it is neat to see that they have more going on. The way Potomac discusses its members makes it sound like the Sunlight foundation is an autism guild, a place where people do socially unacceptable special interest stuff, which is incredibly funny.
spoiler Woah absolute filth!! Adelheid walks into Norn's room like 'Word around the Antenora is you've got a fat cock.' Lmao.
I hadn't even considered questioning whether or not "all Katarran women have one" so uh, gee thanks Adelheid... I wonder what kind of gene shenanigans cause that as an occasional by-accident thing though. Does also leave me wondering about the status of queer and especially trans issues generally in the Empire? It feels obvious that they'd all be genderfash under the Fueller regime, but like... so many Imperials of all stations are gay 
so uh Idk. Adelheid's attitude is sort of, uh, weird I guess. "I think you'e beautiful, all of you is"...? Uh huuuuuh?
Fwiw the following scene is considerably enhanced by seeing Norn smash her head against the shower wall in self-contempt! Goes on for fucking ever though, it feels like.
:::
I wondered briefly if she wasn't, but I assume she hasn't been injecting girljuice or anything and this is just her as-assigned physical form? Idk though... Tough being Katarran ig... I guess I have a lot of assumptions to check now I look this over again, clearly trans people being normalised obliterates your (my) ability to make assumptions about genders, which is a great thing.
Lmao y'know the helmsman? Ka... I forget his name, but literally the lone man onboard the Brigand lol, I assume he is gay n trans also. We have our token en bee, so why not a token trans man right???
EVER AGAIN, weh why does Elena get to live in fullcommunism when she doesn't even appreciate it, weh I'd eat those soy cutlets every day you pompous bitch
