I swear like, Tralsei at this point has just gotta be one of my biggest hyperfixations lol

It's gotten to the point where I just say "time for my daily tralsei scroll :3" with a smile on my face every time i remember to check this place

(image made by me btw)

I genuinely feel like I'm getting stabbed in the chest 65 million times bro
Every time that fucking subreddit crossposts this one it feels like you get gut punched to the point you begin throwing up horrendously
Every time I see a single word out of those mouths frying the post not even reading it it feels like i'm being forced to swallow down a piece of chicken too big for my throat
If people weren't sheep basically following someone's opinion on a fucking post this would've never happened

i’ve been sketching ralsei in dresses a lot, i cleaned up and colored some of my favorites from yesterday

Just want to say that I'm a enby, and transmasc. Feel free to say so if you think I have said anything untrue, or if you just personally disagree.

At first I was completely opposed to tralsei, because I didn't feel there was enough evidence to signify Ralsei being a girl. However, the "princess" comment, they/them pronouns, and just the overall signaling led me to believe that Ralsei was probably trans, possibly genderfluid. So I got online, and I realized I was not special and that there were already wars about this. 😭

I don't think Toby will make Ralsei trans in canon though. I think he will just leave symbols, maybe increasingly more obvious, to let us know that she is trans. He has only 2 chapters left, and the story hasn't addressed us, the soul, which is what all of this buildup has been for. Overall, the story of Deltarune won't end in a happy way. I feel like Ralsei being trans, changing her pronouns, and telling susie/kris/noelle/ etc. won't really fit into the time we have for the story. If Kris or Susie die, Ralsei will be too deep in grief and regret. She'll basically be busy blaming herself. If Ralsei dies...she's dead, y'know. I can't think of too many other things it could be, maybe we die? Kris or someone destroys the soul? She could transition then, but we wouldn't be there to see it.
I feel like the best I can hope for is her being they/themed in the menus or anywhere else as much as possible, and her having more "princess" moments, which is kinda sad.

An example of a cool tralsei moment would be a stranger calling her ms. or just using she/her, and her getting flustered.

You've heard it once, you've heard it again.

"They are calling people transaphobic just for not believing in a theory"

Pretty damming accusation, ain't it? How can someone be a whole bigot simply by not agreeing with something that is not yet proven?

Yet it keeps happening, over and over again, people keep calling denyers transphobic, and this pisses them off to great extents. How comes?

The answer is simple and mundane. It boils down to one simple interaction every trans person has experienced.

"Hey, I'm trans"

"How do you know?"

"Because of X"

"Many people experience X, and that doesn't make them trans"

That is it, the simplest form of transaphobia, doubt.

The idea that trans people owe you an explanation of their transness, a valid reason, evidence and proof.

It's an idea that permeates society as a whole.

Every trans person needs to prove their transness, to their loved ones, so they'll respect your name, to the doctor, so they'll give you the medicine you need, to the government, so they let you modify your documents, even your phone will ask for an explanation of why your face doesn't look the same anymore.

And the worst part about it, most people do not believe us when we tell them.

"There weren't any signs" "Maybe you're just a femenine boy" "You do not fit the description of gender dysphoria"

"This proof isn't enough"

And so a character comes, and like magic, something clicks inside you, "ah, I used to do that"

"Yeah, I've felt like that too"

"I have been there"

Like magic, someone gets it, somebody, behind your screen, undertood what it feels to be inside your skin, the subtle details, the little things, everything is there and it points to precisely to where you're thinking.

So you go online, post your findings, hope for answers and... Oh

Right, they doubt it. Obviously, of course they do, the whole of society is transaphobic, why would this fandom be any different?

art of ralsei, giant, being pinned down by ropes held by many tiny ralsei plushies climbing all over her, in the style of gulliver's travels. she's not happy about this but isnt sure what to do.

she's trying a different outfit

trying to figure out how to do simple backgrounds, and also shading

This marks a point in history.

idk man I wanna be apart of this I got FOMO

genderfluidity isn't one cup trans one cup cis ffs. I'm tired of seeing it. I'm tired of genderfluid Ralsei being trotted out by cis idiots as an option they're more comfortable with. GET MORE UNCOMFORTABLE NOW. You're never gonna get normal about trans people and women until you actually unpack why you think genderfluid is "more okay". Sexist ass.

Obviously they’re coping or whatever, but this is just a weird thing I’ve noticed after getting an annoying reply last night.

Like it feels like every two seconds someone is like “well ralsei gets called a boy in X scene” “he’s called a boy WAY more than he’s called a girl” or “the game literally says he’s the prince of dark” and like, no shit??? She hasn’t transitioned yet lmao.

Obviously ralsei is gonna get called a boy a lot, that’s literally part of the theory. It’s funny cause they love to say flowery was just teasing when calling her a princess, when in reality he mainly teased her by using masculine terms.

I’ve definitely been referred to as a boy most of the time, does that mean I’m NOT a trans girl??? Idk, it’s weird
