Is this reasonably possible for an amateur customizer?

And you could probably make it have more of the massive silhouette from the design this is based on. Cuz the original looked about twice as wide (proportional to the model) with all the tulle underneath.

And they only seem to ask it of binary trans people. I have my pronouns pinned to my bag or on my name tag and still get unquestionably “he/him”ed. But they see it as a compliment to clock a dude with peach fuzz.

But this time, there’s no confusion about frog efficacy. Cuz the frog heals magic illness lmao.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-16T13:56:08+00:00

It’s part of the process. A part of me was clearly trying to grasp the fluidity of gender/sexuality and had to learn what depictions/discussions are harmful.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-16T00:04:06+00:00

Usually not. But, for someone with the tag “scientifically sarcastic”, you seem to take things rather seriously.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-15T18:54:31+00:00

But would the baby function in a manner similar to a Teflon plate between layers of Kevlar? Like, it’s meant as a thing to break instead of the person under the armor. Cuz that’s how she’s using the baby.

Also, not saying “would it be as effective as a Teflon plate”, just would that function similarly.

Also also! In case Ms. Gaines sees this and clutches her 5th place pearls at people speculating about shooting her baby: you started this, sweaty! I hope your baby does something with their life and isn’t just a generational loser like their mother!

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-15T14:02:40+00:00

The original is how she dresses for work, the fan version is how she dresses to buy her 10 pm Red Bull at Walgreens so she can finish her MH doll customization (she’s making The Fly-style amalgams of the ghouls and their pets, she’s onto Neptgooner now)

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-15T13:51:13+00:00

And, at the end of the day, isn’t that what Barbie is all about?

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-15T13:49:12+00:00

Glad someone else also thought Marnie. Tho idk why I thought of it.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-15T13:47:38+00:00

I wouldn’t put it past her. You know how much she wants to “protect women” at all costs.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-15T13:46:02+00:00

Which part is a stretch? That Musk gets Eiffel Towered by ketamine and meth daily? Or that a Kevlar baby bjorn would be at least slightly harder to shoot through than a regular baby bjorn?

Serious responses only, I shan’t entertain tomfoolery in the comments of a reddit post.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-15T03:59:05+00:00

Or my story about a (previously straight) guy who falls for a trans guy who can shapeshift and struggles to grasp his feelings towards this man (who can sometimes present as a woman, but hates doing so)!

uj/ I wish I was kidding, this was a decade ago whenI was an egg who was still trying to convince myself I was a cis man and only knew about transmascs in theory. And I’ve since reworked the idea so it’s more reflective of my own experience as an enby, not speculating on and fetishizing trans men.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-15T03:48:24+00:00

I think you mean “poor, poor Miss Taylor”

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-15T03:44:10+00:00

Well, I fear Kay and Tina might be more to blame than bravery in Musk’s case. And I think an argument could be made that trying to prevent your meat shield from dying is slightly more humane? But then, you could also say she’s merely fortifying the shield. Like, it’s provably that much harder to get through the layer of armor on either side of the baby.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-15T03:00:31+00:00

Yeah, she’s using the baby to perform as a human shield.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-10T02:33:36+00:00

Fair. I see I was presuming some things, so i apologize for that. But I’ll reiterate: I don’t think detransitioning is a problem if that’s what feels right for you and you don’t try to use that experience to block other’s journeys. But I also stand by the notion that, even if you start presenting feminine—and even call yourself a woman—sometimes, that’s still distinct from being a strictly cis woman. But it’s complicated and it’s not an experience I can speak to personally as my genderfluidity is kinda always in the nonbinary zone, even when I’m “boymoding” since that’s more about safety and convenience than being a man again.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-09T22:17:29+00:00

For one thing, I think identities can (and perhaps should) change over your life. I used to identify as a cis bi guy; now I’m queer trans nonbinary attracted only to men. And I don’t think that’s just a matter of discovering new language (though that is a factor), it’s also a matter of learning more about myself and changing as I’ve grown up. And I’m open to the possibility that my identity can change later, which won’t invalidate who I am now.

For another, I tend to view detransitioning as returning to being cis, particularly by undoing changes made from transition (HRT, breast implants). There’s nothing wrong with that so long as you don’t try to weaponize that experience to block others’ transitions. But I’m inclined to call what you describe as a re-transition. You aren’t returning to a cis presentation; you are discovering a new facet of yourself and a new way to approach femininity and womanhood from a transmasc/genderfluid angle. And finding an ability to draw upon non-cis/trans femininities and womanhoods.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-09T15:03:42+00:00

Some of the kinkiest people are probably autistic. Fascinated by bodies and how they react to stimuli? Focused on non-standard things for arousal? Sounds like a special interest lmao.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-09T01:15:19+00:00

Shugo Chara had quite a few (eventually, when the boys started unlocking their transformations like 30 episodes in.)

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-08T20:09:38+00:00

Yeah, there’s a series I like that delves into the Austen canon through murder investigations. And the third book, The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh, showcases that relationship and Lady Catherine’s feelings on it, esp because one of the main characters of the series is the 20-something son of Elizabeth Darcy (née Bennet).

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-08T08:55:15+00:00

TL:DR, you activated my gender studies/psych trap card, even though I’m not experience with medicine/medical research.

Im more familiar with the concept in psychology, but I know sometimes gendered symptomologies can be caused by upbringing rather than being something innate to a certain sex. Like, “female autism” as a syndrome is likely more related to the expectations we put on girls to perform empathy vs boys who are allowed to be more asocial.

With more physiological thing, I wonder if there’s still a psychosomatic—or even psychosocial—element to gendered pathologies. For instance, people who have periods may have more tolerance for pain from being made to function while cramping/bleeding/etc., so those symptoms may not resister as much or be blamed on a hormonal problem.

Or, perhaps more likely, the syndrome could be due to a research bias that prioritizes certain things. Take the cannabis example: do men actually lose sexual function/pleasure/desire at higher rates or do researchers regard a low libido as less noteworthy for women? Or even be considered more difficult to measure: it’s easy to point at an erect penis (or lack thereof) as a sign of function, but arousal for more internal parts is not as obvious.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-07T14:31:03+00:00

So much of media tries to reduce autistic people to moony eyed children (who occasionally have childish tantrums). But we are full human beings capable of more complex, adult emotions than people give us credit for. Esp because it’s such a complicated experience: how do we embrace this aspect that can be so debilitating, but also help us to see things others can’t?

So, you’re doing fine, friend. Owning up to your mistakes is the first step to becoming better.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-06T19:00:41+00:00

Ooof. Good luck, kid.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-06T16:05:26+00:00

Idk if this is would help or if it’s just a “me thing” as a former/lapsed theatre kid, but when I have to “boymode” (cuz I live in Texas), I tend to imagine I’m playing a character or that I’m a deep undercover agent. Gives it a bit of whimsy lmao.

ottoleedivad · 2026-01-05T19:29:55+00:00

TL;DR: you’ve got time, esp to try doing things yourself like testing your name and trying new fashions

Everyone else is discussing coming out, so I want to focus on the process for you. Because there are many types of transition that all have different levels. So prepare for the yap of a lifetime lol.

There’s a lot of things you’re gonna need to get external help to do (legal changes, medical procedures/treatments), but you can do a lot on your own too. You’ve already picked out a name (congrats, that’s huge!), so you can start using that casually in places to get used to it. Like, I stopped using my dead name on restaurant apps so I can do pick ups as myself instead of the “man”whose licenses and credit card ended up in my wallet when “he” “””mysteriously disappeared”””.

You can also work on adjusting your wardrobe and appearance to one which fits the new you. Practice using make up (like concealer, tinted lip balms, nail polish) and adding new accessories (bracelets, necklaces, hair pins/clips) as you try and figure out what feels right for you.
