Is it n9rmal t9 share pictures 9f y9urself here? I d9n't expect us t9 l99k t99 different, if y9u rec9gnize a parad9x versi9n 9f s9me9ne y9u already kn9w.
I CAN REASSURE YOU THAT WE LOOK DIFFERENT. JUST SHARE A PICTURE OF YOURSELF. THERE'S AN ALT OF US THAT HAS RODENT FEATURES.
I MADE A TYPO AND DIDN'T MEANT TO PUT US AND MEANT "ME" BUT. ALSO NO THE KARKAT IS VERY RODENT-LIKE. RAT TAIL INCLUDED. AS FOR KANKRI'S THERE'S ONE I KNOW THAT'S TRANSFEM. SO YOUR ALTS OBJECTIVELY WILL LOOK DIFFERENT.
THERE WOULD BE A RODENT LIKE KANKRI TO HIM, YEAH. I MEAN, HE'S NOT UGLY IF THAT'S A CONCERN. HE'S JUST VAGUELY RAT-LIKE. I MEAN, FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, TROLLS ARE STILL SEXUALLY DIMORPHIC TO A DEGREE. SO EVEN TRANSITIONING IS POSSIBLE. ALSO, I THINK ON ALTERNIAN, THERE IS STILL SOME GENDER INEQUALITY (NAMELY AGAINST PEOPLE BORN AS WOMEN), SO TRANSITIONING IS STILL A THING. IT'S JUST NOT AS BIG A DEAL FOR TROLLS AS IT IS FOR HUMANS, AS WE HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW OF GENDER. ALSO, YOUR TRANSFEMME ALT JUST DECIDED THAT BEING A MAN DIDN'T WORK WITH HER IDENTITY ANYMORE; SHE SAID IT WAS A LOT OF SOUL SEARCHING. I DON'T REALLY KNOW HER PERSONALLY. SHE'S NOT MY KANKRI. I JUST SAW HER POSTS ON A DIFFERENT APP.
I WOULDN'T KNOW, I'M NOT YOU, OR HE'S. BUT I'LL TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT. ALSO, THERE ARE A LOT OF MAMMALIAN TROLLS I'VE SEEN. I MEAN, IF A PLATYPUS CAN EXIST, SO CAN MAMMALIAN TROLLS. I MEAN THAT ASIDE, THERE IS STILL THE ABILITY TO NOT IDENTIFY WITH THE GENDER YOU WERE BORN WITH. EVEN IF IT'S COMPLEX, GENDER PRESENTATION IS COMPLEX. YOUR BIOLOGICAL SEX, REGARDLESS OF GENETIC COMPLEXITIES, SHOULDN'T STOP YOU FROM PROUDLY CHANGING HOW YOU PRESENT. I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ANY TIMELINE BUT MY OWN, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,Y GENDER PRESENTATION AND SOCIAL REPRESENTATION ARE ENTIRELY UP TO YOU, AND IF YOU CHANGE YOUR GENDER THAT DOESN'T MATCH WITH YOUR BIOLOGICAL SEX, EVEN IF IT'S JUST A SOCIAL TRANSITION, IT'S STILL TRANSITIONING. TROLLS HERE HAVE 3 "SEXES": MALE, FEMALE, AND INTERSEX. TO GET FURTHER INTO THAT, INTERSEX MALE, INTERSEX FEMALE. IT CAN, OF COURSE, BE MORE COMPLEX; YOU CAN END UP WITH ANY SEX HERE, REALLY, BUT TYPICALLY, SOCIALLY, "MALE" AND "FEMALE" ARE STILL THE BINARY. WHICH IS GOOD. I'M JUST YAPPING.
GOOD TO KNOW AND TRUE. I CAN'T SAY I REALLY KNOW, I'M NOT INTERSEX. BUT I BELIEVE IT'S A MIXTURE OF THINGS, IT'S DIFFERENT CASE TO CASE. SOME LEAN MORE TOWARD HAVING UNIQUE BONE STRUCTURES OR MOLT RATES, ETC. OR THEIR GENITALIA IS ALTERED. AMAB TROLLS TEND TO HAVE VERY UNDERDEVELOPED NOOKS COMPARED TO AFAB TROLLS. THERE'S NOT A LOT I KNOW ABOUT IT PERSONALLY.
