Megathread Trans-made Media - Stories about genderspecials, by genderspecials

[AMHOLIO]

Everything clicks if you look at like, fuckin, any of the Transformers shit they've put out recently. It's less about cool robots fighting and more about boring relationship drama between gay robots and political discussion.

This happened with other comics back in the day, in a different way. As audiences grow up and creators move on, guess wbo gets to fill in the old position? That's right, the formerly younger fans now adults, wanting to make what they love but put their own twist on it, maybe introduce more mature writing. And this can be good or bad, sometimes you elevate Batman from camp only to a moody superhero that can tackle darker concepts or give Peter Parker a really good character development plot, or you can end up writing fanfiction that feels like fanfiction and is crushingly bad because THIS is how YOU want to play with your tarded action figures AND EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD DO IT THAT WAY TOO. It becomes less about storytelling and more appealing to yourself and others in the fanbase. Worse, you start adding PSAs about 'nam and how the war on terror is fat and gay and turn the characters into melodrama centric ideas and your least favorite always gets the shaft and congratulations Transformers comics, you too are in an SJW politic flavored fanfic about gay robots that alienates fans that came for the story and robot fights, not this boring ass shit.

TL;DR: The lunatics run the aslyum and they won't be stopped until the money dips and the exectutives slap their writing monkeys to stop doing bullshit and change their bullshit to things that sell.

this is why anime is shit. The people making do not know and do not like people. all they know is anime tropes and they recycle them in increasingly inbred ways. Its easier to see in the art style. Each generation just adds more abstraction to the previous style until you are left with a horrific abomination that doesn't resemble a human being at all.

As more media ages, the more it goes like this. Corporate wants something that sells to invest in. What sells? Look to the past. What do we own that sells? What do our competitors own that sells? What trends, values, characters, items, and genres does our general audience want to see? We either copy things and sell that with a slight twist, or we make more of what we have but with a bigger twist. People will buy more of what they're used to, so making the same thing with familiar characters in a different genre or story is a safer bet.

Larger companies look to hire more safe bets that print money. They look at people who make something similar to what they're doing now, but you're young and hip and got your ear to the people because you're a fan! You must know what fans of this like! Go write it. People like feel good messages, feel free to write them in, they're popular. Bring me back money.

So now we have anime shows that are inbred out of fear of deviating too much because animation is a hard gamble. It takes money and time to make animation, and it's easier to adapt something from manga that you know is popular to get a fresh idea. Otherwise, copy Super Waifu Spenders 3 since they're making money HAND over FIST and I WANT THOSE FUCKING WHALES MILKED DRY YOU SWINE! You can see this with smaller companies publishing niche stuff, finding weird things, and adding to the genepool while larger companies piss in said genepool then drink it, then piss it again. Sometimes a company like EA or Warner Bros gets a creative idea... but it's not always what sells.

I say a good portion lies within corporate's stranglehold on larger media but I'd be foolish to leave out the creators too. There's always been fans who just... consoom. Always that Star Trek nerd who KNOWS the canon, KNOWS production and how it goes, and KNOWS what's what... but can't write to save their life. And if they do, it's shitty fanfic tropes because they love the series, not the art of writing. Their feelings of what they want get in the way. Meanwhile, you have the ENTITLED fans. They have seen all of the Lucas Star Wars films and a few spinoffs, but you know what would be better? Their idea. THEY can bring Star Wars into the now, THEY can bring Star Wars into the 21st century. Whtether they can tell you Wookiepedia lore with 10% or 80% accuracy doesn't matter, this is MINE, I AM going to decide how MY make believe play goes! The same goes for anime nerds bitter about their (I'm not up to date on anime, bear with me) Asuka/Shinji Eva fic not being canon so they write a series with the serial numbers filed off where there's giant schmobots and they have to fight Cthulhu without as much Jesus imagery but with more titties and guns because that's what the author likes and a whole episode where your main character Kenji dunks on his trumpinator dad and his evil fake love interest Mei turns out to be a MAGA double agent, and Suka waifu and him have to murder them all or something idk.

Worse, you get a fan of Pokemon to write and make a Digimon game, but the Pokemon fan doesn't care for Digimon as much and is just using it as a writing stepping stone to get something on their credit list and to fix Digimon to be Pokemon BUT BETTER (*according to their sensibilities) with more Pokemon tropes and mechanics, and more shit you didn't want. God help you if you get someone who doesn't really care or just thinks a franchise fucking sucks to write it to be "better" out of spite, they're not going to be Paul Verhoven's Starship Troopers take, they're going to be preaching about Jesus (sorry) trans black atheist messiah in your goddamn show because lmao fuck my white hollywood dad who got me this job!!!


Anyway I'm sorry to ramble but I agree with you and the problem comes in cycles. Sometimes it ruins a franchise forever, sometimes it's only for half a decade or much less. We take what we can get that we like, vote with our wallets, and make the most of it whenever we can. It just sucks that so many franchises are entering the negative side of the cycle like this for now, nerds are trying to shelter but both companies and preaching SJWs are destroying your bomb shelter and you have to keep fucking fleeing or keep pushing them out. It's tiring, but sometimes you find other things to enjoy or improve yourself with the time you wait out.

It's ok buddy, it's ok.

or you can end up writing fanfiction that feels like fanfiction and is crushingly bad because THIS is how YOU want to play with your tarded action figures AND EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD DO IT THAT WAY TOO.

Legitimately what happened with one of the IDW writers. They massacred Star Saber's character from a heroic badass of justice into an insane religious nutjob who kills indiscriminately because the writer, James Roberts, wrote him that way in a fanfiction he made in the 1990s.

That's the one with the crazy scene of Soundwave giving birth to a Quintesson, right?

 

[TheSpinyShell]

Here with an indie comic, Simply Sarah (not to be confused with a certain cow's cooking channel). It chronicles the romantic life of the eponymous character who happens to be a lesbian. TL;DR of this post is that this comic is based off of a real woman's life and the author is (ideally was) her skinwalker friend. His username is Skyangel.

The last page (archive) of the comic, the author signs an in-character blurb with "Nikki (aka Skyangel)". It talks about the tranny side character within the story and says that he didn't maintain a relationship with the character he was dating by the end of the series.

Spoiler: text

PS:
My own future with Kim was not to last. Living with a transgender person often takes just as much courage and strength as transgender people need themselves. Both have to face the world in similar ways and I was more prepared for it than she was. Before you think the worst of her, it was me that ended the relationship, not her. ‘If you truly love someone, you let them go’ as they say, and I could not bear to see her suffer any more at losing her own family too.
I tried to put a brave face on things and live a more ordinary life after Kim but eventually Sarah reached out to me as she always has done and I eventually joined them both up in Scotland.
But that's another story..

Have a nice life!

Nikki (aka Skyangel)

One comment asks for clarification on what Skyangel meant by the signature and he clarifies that "[he] is the Nikki that wrote and drew this comic book".

His response when asked how much of the comic is autobiographical:


In the first screenshot, he says had no intention of writing himself in his story, but it seems that narcissism got in the way. While you may think I'm jumping the gun in assuming this author is 100% a tranny, it becomes clear once you read the comic itself and remember that it's semi-autobiographical. In the fourth chapter, our lesbian couple protagonists, Sarah and her girlfriend Janey, have recently moved into an apartment together and find out that they have a tranny neighbor. Being unaware of the degeneracy of the average MtF, they quickly become friends and help "her" learn to use makeup and encourage him to be his "true self" in public. He gets punched for this (and more), but what's more important is that Sarah eventually finds out that he's been writing a comic about her and Janey's life story.

Spoiler: uhhh.... no

(Archive)
For some reason, she lets him continue to make it under the assumption that it remains a private work.

(Archive)
Of course, it's revealed later on in the same chapter that the work isn't private at all.

(Archive)
And, in typical tranny fashion, validation trumped respecting women's privacy as Nikki can only say "it was just so popular" when asked by Sarah why he didn't delete the online posts after finding out Sarah wanted that shit private.

(Archive)
In the comic, this ends in Nick dramatically deleting the comic, and the author makes it clear to the reader that we're supposed to feel sympathy for this man rather than creeped out by his skinwalking. He just wanted to draw a comic with sex scenes between his friend and her girlfriend! Give him a break!

(Archive)
Later on, Sarah finds his skinwalking book in the trash and feels bad for him.

Since skyangel has neglected to say exactly which parts of the comic are real, it's unclear whether his friend was a handmaiden who drunk too much of the koolaid or if this was just what Skyangel wished had happened. For the real Sarah's sake, I hope it's the latter and that she wizened up and got the hell away from him once she found out about this comic. His fictional tranny self deleted it, but clearly his real-life counterpart has not.

Nick goes back to dressing as a man after this, but Sarah offers to let Nick girlmode at her place if he wants. If this actually happened, then she's a terminal handmaiden.

(Archive)
Her girlfriend sexually teases Nick on the literal next page. Sarah also tell him he makes a "good housewife" because he cleans up when he's over. Again, if these were things the author didn't make up, then I wonder how the women he based these two off of would feel about how vigorously he masturbated to those two moments, because you know he beat himself raw to the memory of lesbians teasing him, even if the actual version of events weren't sexual at all.

(Archive)
The page above has Nick getting hot over Janey (the girlfriend), but here's confirmation that he absolutely would like to fuck Sarah as well. The two have to share a hotel bed on vacation. Sarah asks whether he has an erection and he says he does. Apparently the gold star lesbian is completely fine with it and not creeped out at all. However you feel about gold star discourse, as far as the comic goes, this woman has never touched dick and has previously never shown a desire to touch dick, but is suddenly okay with sharing a bed with an aroused tranny? How convenient…

Back to the comment section where Skyangel made his reveal. Apparently the only reason why he didn't make Sarah get into a relationship with Nick was self-hatred. Lol

Quoting what Nick said in that first page where Sarah found his comic: "Sarah, you are the girl I always wanted to be living the life I've always dreamed of...I wanted to see your life through your eyes... ...share your emotions." This combined with the fact that he obviously wanted to pair his self-insert with her has the most "I'd fuck me" vibes I've ever organically encountered when it comes to MtFs. Honestly amazing.

Bonus Reading: Nick's Tranny origin story. Includes the following beloved MtF tropes:

• Downplaying the sexual aspect of his crossdressing
• Quitting cold turkey just before marriage to some poor woman
• Letting his perversion blow his marriage up anyway…
• …after having a kid too! Can't waste a chance to be yet another shitty father figure in a child's life.

Spoiler: Lovely

Again, it's unclear how much of this may be drawn from the author's own life. The upload date for this section of the story is 2011 which is far before tranny insanity became mainstream. That, along with the specificity of the details makes me think that if this isn't his own story, then it's at least the story of some troon he personally knows, especially since he has a track record of using other people's lives for comic fodder.

 

[AMHOLIO]

What strikes me about the comic is HOW FUCKING SHIT the coloring is first. If embellished skyangel (who uses angels for pagination of the comic I see) actually outsourced the coloring, skyangel should have fired the colorist long before. The abuse of the airbrush tool is horrendous.

The lineart is wonky, but the good news is that it does improve overtime. It's not perfect, but it becomes passable as a newspaper comic. The coloring gets marginally better. Marginally.


Anyway, there is a concerning amount of leg and feet shots in the pages you posted. Nikki undressing seems to be framed more erotic than heartbreaking, even walking around in a frilly bra instead of say a nightshirt or sportsbra. It doesn't feel like a release of emotions, it failed at its goal. I'll see if I can draw it out in a second to show what I mean.

Edit: Twenty gorillion years in MSPaint:

I cannot be assed to color this. Use your imagination.

The first panel is supposed to make Nikki look small. Then emphasize it, have her holding onto the door like a prop for weakness, slouching over out of defeat. The second and other panels should ALSO be slouching, as a sign of sadness and resignation. Shaky hands. Pull down the tights but show an up close of the grip, of tension, of anger and frustration. FOCUS on the hand: that's the expressive part, not the 1950s tights pin up legs that no man has (also lol Nikki has 6 fingers in the original). Fourth panel, mess up Nikki's hair, have her put on the kimono robe like someone tiredly pulling something onto themselves, as if it somewhat pains them to do so, sign of exhaust. Fifth and six don't need to change much, just slouching & messier hair - it's showing someone vulnerable, tired. Last panel has the added detail of the reflection so we can see the moment that hurts Nikki so much. Then the last panel doesn't have to change, the shadow showing Nikki crying is a good detail of her hiding her pain from the viewer but can't do so due to the shadow. I don't know if the first 6 panels were supposed to show strength and blankness, not crying until Nikki couldn't hide it any more, but come on, give some emotion to your comic. Be dramatic!


He also draws Nikki not like other men and more akin to women. That's kind of him.


Check out this panel in the flashback. Now look at the first page of the comic:

Notice anything similar? Top is supposed to be the trans woman, bottom the cis woman protagonist. It's pottery.

This combined with the fact that he obviously wanted to pair his self-insert with her has the most "I'd fuck me" vibes I've ever organically encountered when it comes to MtFs. Honestly amazing.

It's not just that, he said "Fantasy me would fuck real me... but I hate real me because real ME is a TRANS woman and has a penis."

First time posting here so sorry if it sucks, but I came across this kid's book known as Payden's Pronoun Party. It's a new children's book about some kid being groomed realizing that he isn't comfortable with he/him pronouns. He then goes around asking various people about their pronouns in order to figure out his ~true self~. Also his parents tell him that if he figures out what his pronouns are they'll throw him a party for some reason.

Spoiler: Official Overview

“I’m not sure I’m a boy… so maybe he is not best for me.”

Payden has always used he/him pronouns, until one day Payden realizes those words might not fit. Payden’s parents promise to throw a big party to introduce whatever pronouns Payden chooses—but which pronouns are the best match? On a colorful quest, Payden talks to friends about a rainbow of possibilities: he, she, they, ze, and so many more! The right pronouns are just waiting to be tried on.

Put on your party hats and learn about the magical variety of pronouns in this thoughtful story that imagines a world of unquestioning support for gender exploration, celebrates all the different ways a person can present, and provides a blueprint for people of any age who are pondering what gender means to them.

Spoiler: More Images

If I can pirate a copy of this book i'll post more images but this is all I found so far.

I'll be honest, if I didn't know any better I would have thought that this book was a joke. The book was written by he/they Blue Jaryn (Twitter) and illustrated by they/them Xochitl Cornejo (Twitter). Jaryn mostly tweets about kids literature and "queerphobia" while Cornejo just retweets fanart with the occasional troon gofundme.

Spoiler: Select Tweets from the Author

Oh the horror of not knowing if random authors/illustrators believe in your bullshit.

Welcome. I haven't been here long myself, but I think as a first post, it's just fine. Good find.

That said, wow, it's amazing stuff like this even exists. Kids don't naturally think about stuff like this unless they've been groomed to do so. Anyone who understands kids' psychology, even in the most rudimentary, laymen's way, knows kids think in very black-and-white, binary terms. It's part of their psychological development. It's why children's media used to be very simple: because that's all they can comprehend. All of this gender shit is only going to confuse them even more.

Another thing that bothers me is this "true self" nonsense. Most people who believe in queer theory don't believe in souls or God or the supernatural in general; functionally, they are usually atheists, or at the very least, non-religious. So how can they possibly believe they are anything other than what their physical meat bag is? If you were born into the "wrong body", that would imply they have an aspect of their being that isn't contained completely in their brain. That's only possible if humans have souls and/or minds to be in conflict with their physical bodies.

John Money still screws Western societies from beyond the grave.

Despite the deluge of wikis and social science papers detailing the gender lore: It all relies on the incredibly simplistic comedy sci-fi idea od "brain in the wrong body".
Extrapolation from this Hannah Barbera plot usually details.about how the brain feels that it's the opposite sex. (or something. It's all very inconsistent in the lore whether physical sex is real or whether physical transition is nessesary (It's a necessary birthright but it isn't necessary))
Somehow, this is seen as a problem with the body ...not the brain!

I remember when Jim (Mister Metokur/Internet Aristocrat) did an interview with Iron Liz and some other random tranny. He was surprisingly civil throughout the whole live stream but later asked a hard but fair question: what if, in the future, someone invents a drug that can cure gender dysphoria? At that point, wouldn't that be preferable to current sex change treatments? While they kept their cool (and for that, I actually have to give them credit, since most troons would begin screeching at this point), they insisted that trannies will always happen no matter what, one of them actually saying "nature finds a way".

I think that speaks for itself.

It definitely speaks to the fact most of them don't have gender dysphoria. Or if they do, they induced it themselves. The brain is a strange thing, and you can absolutely fake-it-til-you-make-it a lot of weird and wonderful conditions.

 

[AMHOLIO]

Today I bring you this particular comic artist and writer who makes independent comics about dysphoria and their experiences with it.

Their current free webcomic on twitter is called "Boy Island", and it's about how the spirit of perversion (who is also the god of transsexuals) used to rule the land but was tricked by the spirit of prudence and imprisoned, so now the world is split into boy island and girl island. Now Lucielle, a young trans man, must journey across to get to their true and honest island. It's a surreal fantasy comic with an interesting style, but from the very start you can tell the author is venting.

Spoiler: more under here, naked bodies NSFW too

I feel bad for all the trans men just called TBoys. I'd be annoyed at the deliberate emphasis on the T.

The creature on the bottom is his rival, the no sex only 2 gendies spirit.


The world used to be an Eden type paradise under the spirit of perversion, where chaos and anarchy reigned maaaan, it was totally a hippy anachist paradise.

"It was ok to want to do nothing. It was ok to be manic, to want to do everying" If I'm not mistaken the author is rebelling against people forcing those who are struggling with mental health to not feel judged or shunned for not being able to work as fast or as well as neurotypicals, nor for the manic passion to do things or just the hyperfocus some groups get.

"It was ok to be alone, but if you didn't, there was always someone to sit there with you." Both this and the previous sentences are quite good thoughts.



This panel is funny without context.

The spirit of prudence speaks up! Porno is the problem, it's hurting young girls and it's not even titillating anymore to the rest of us, mostly the spirit itself!

Truly the inner thoughts of all women and men opposed to trans people, the author captures the thought process so well.

This is the protagonist. Hello protagonist.

Lucielle is a frequent character in Leo Fox's content. Seems like the author's persona.

Here's Luc's trans origin story:




Lucielle dreams of being a boy and the spirit of perversion flies into Luc's dream to tell him as such, become a boy or be doomed to be tormented by the thoughts forever. It's like Batman, but with the bat actually speaking to Bruce in a dream and instead of his parents being dead his mom is alive and doesn't understand her son wanting to become Batman. And instead of brooding while fighting crime he just broods and does nothing.

.
Mom makes plenty of "what I WANT from you, Lucielle!" statements. I actually knew a 20 year old woman who decided against going on T because she realized it was an experimental treatment at the time (18 years old) and has held off on transitioning and is still contemplating gender (she called herself "she/her" for those wondering, I wasn't misgendering her).



Gee I wonder



Dysphoria.jpeg. You could post this picture under every reddit trans selfie who asks for advice on passing if you wanted to get banned in a flash.


Trans people say this to other trans people all the time. Like the balding trans man who was told "LMAO I TOLD YOU TESTOSTERONE WAS POISON WHAT DID YOU EXPECT SO GLAD I GOT OFF IT" by hundreds of trans women.


Mom still helps on the quest though after BTFO'ing her child.

Then the comic is now up to a ferryman across the ocean and is still in progress as of writing.

The author has a few other comics, some with previews on his website (a). One deals with the idea of the author breaking up with their body, the other with the struggles they face quitting smoking.

Spoiler: breaking up is hard to do, gore and nudity

The author is fantastic at surreal imagery, with great composition & an understanding of how to convey an idea and tone.

Spoiler: lamenting the smoking dream

So Leo Fox is a trans man who has a nebulous relationship with his body, feeling very separate and wishing for a different one. Fox covets the image of cool depressed noir artistic f*gs smoking, but it pains them not to be able to reach it by quitting smoking. Fox metaphorically breaks up with their body, their body calling itself a slut, talking about how underneath the gauze of their organs and flesh that there's nothing there. In the most recent comic (Boy Island), Fox describes an ideal land where sexes are interchangeable, neurodiveristy and mental health are not shamed, free love is celebrated, and everyone is there for each other. The spirit of perversion is treated as a patron guardian to trans people, helping them live as their true selves and encouraging being strange and off the beaten path. The spirit of prudence is the antagonistic force hampering self expression and being hypocritical in the approach of self monitoring, and the mom doesn't understand what transitioning means to Luc and how it isn't about what the mom wants, but how Lucielle feels.


So basically this author seems like she has a sever disassociation disorder, possibly BPD due to feeling empty & disconnected and trying on new identities with hypersexuality thrown in and fears of being alone, combined with being ashamed of hypersexuality yet wanting to give into it and become what she craves. She sets up strawmen and seems to know the arguments against transitioning, yet picks the easiest to dismiss and seems to focus on how it seems like others are mistaking her true identity of a boy (*you're 20, you're a man) for being lead astray by others instead of her own desires. She doesn't cover the possibilities of it being possibly a sign of another disorder, how it might be a cover for other problems she is facing mentally, how it might hurt her body and cause kidney failure like that one FtM reporter or the condition Buck Angel had with his vagina after taking T that nearly killed him (although I'm sure Leo hates her body and doesn't give a shit about damaging it which will ironically make the self hate worse), and how it might just be a fetishistic appropriation of homosexuality from how much smoking itself was "masc" and a depressed artist pretty fop imagery she LONGED to be. Serious question, have you asked your doctor about DBT? See if that shit is right for you.

TL;DR: the author is batshit.

Edit: While Leo Fox likely won't read this, I do want to make it clear I'm NOT against sexuality. No, there should be clubs to talk about how much you like dick and or vagina, seminars on sex and sexuality you can attend to educate yourself both free and paid for, adult venues for sexually active adults, doctors not judging patients for sex and sexual conditions and helping with birth control and STD prevention, and age appropriate sex ed for children (teaching kids not to let adults force them into uncomfortable situations or to let adults touch them in their bathing suit areas is super important). I'm worried about YOUR hypersexuality proclivities, how they affect you and your relationships with others. It's like focusing too much on any one thing is unhealthy, a balance is what must be struck.

Also, the gay men who quit smoking have said it's really hard but the best thing they've done for themselves, so uh, aspire to treat your body well?

Their current free webcomic on twitter is called "Boy Island", and it's about how the spirit of perversion (who is also the god of transsexuals)

There's "Freudian Slip" and "Freudian Exxon-Valdez", and that fragment is clearly the latter.

Please join my great chad @White kettle shufflepunk in Dreadnougut, quest for cringe, for some of the worst YA lit a grown manchild could write (sorry for not responding buddy I had to finish up some school). I'll replace that link for clearnet if we ever come back.

Meanwhile, enjoy this poem:



Someone was digging up poems earlier, so I'll ask to get more.

Just when I thought I've heard every possible variation on Aiden, a new one pops up.

Simply Sarah makes a couple of references to Southend, Essex, aka the same place the Archie Battersbee lived/died. What the hell is going on down there?
