a while ago i was asked if Trixie in my universe was trans, and initially i was like… well, no. i didn't think of it, really. but then i did get to thinking about it more, and i'm like. you know what? why the hell not. in trying times like these, trans visibility is so important, especially when the US is currently trying to snuff out the LGBTQIA+ community in every way it can.


for years i thought maybe i wasn't "trans enough" and would be risking talking over "real" trans people since i don't really identify as trans. but i don't really identify as cis, either. if it were up to me, i'd have no gender at all, and no one would ever perceive me as anything and perhaps i would get top surgery and maybe i want more body hair and a deeper voice and perhaps not be perceived as either male or female… and you know what, it is up to me. maybe not right now in a financial sense, but it can be, and that's beautiful. it's up to everyone to identify however they please. your life is yours and you can do whatever you want with it! you deserve to!


right now idk what label/identity fits me, and no i'm not asking for one, because the freedom of figuring myself out is a beautiful journey within itself that only i can embark on. am i trans? am i nonbinary? am i just chill with being perceived as anything and everything and nothing at all? who knows! even if it takes a while to figure out, that's alright too. so while i may not identify as trans (or cis lol) i figured i would put my little story out there in case it resonates with anyone. it's so important to share our queerness with others around us, you never know who you might help in the process.


as for Trixie now being trans in the Gamiverse, it doesn't change much except now Shining Armor is looking for a missing little brother instead of a little sister, and is unaware of the things that have changed in between that time lol. if you're curious, other trans characters in the Gamiverse include: Parrot Pebbles, Sour Note, Sugar Belle, Party Favor, Rutabaga, Gully, Muffins, and some characters I have yet to introduce mwahaha…
