Wtf is a trans?
OF COURSE IT'S THE STRIDERS THAT HAVE A PENCHANT FOR BEING THE MOST UNSERIOUS INDIVIDUALS ACROSS DEATH AND UNDEATH. IMAGINE IF YOU WILL. YOU ARE HATCHED, AND ARE ASSIGNED ONE OF TWO ARBITRARY ROLES, ULTIMATELY MEANINGLESS BUT WILL INFLUENCE HOW YOUR SOCIETY VIEWS YOU AND THE EXPECTATIONS YOU ARE HELD TO AND ARE FORCED TO UPHOLD. AND THAT ROLE IS CALLED A "GENDER." I AM GOING TO ASSUME YOUR THINKPAN ISN'T ROTTED ENOUGH TO NEED AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT A GENDER IS. MALE, FEMALE, AND WHATEVER ELSE. BUT FOR SIMPLICITY'S SAKE WE WILL BE TURNING OUR SORE AND STRAINED GANDERBULBS TO "MALE" AND "FEMALE." BASED ON YOUR BODY AND PERHAPS SEVERAL OTHER USELESS ARBITRARY FACTORS MEANT TO PUSH YOU FURTHER AND FURTHER INTO THE BOXES OUR SUPERIORS ARE OBSESSED WITH, IMAGINE YOU ARE ASSIGNED "FEMALE." YOU GROW UP WITH THE EXPECTATIONS AND STANDARDS LOOMING OVER YOUR NUGBONE AND FORCED INTO YOU LIKE A BRANDING IRON UPON AN ORNERY BULL. SOME INDIVIDUALS ARE FINE WITH THAT. SOME ARE NOT. ON THE OUTSIDE YOU LOOK HOW YOU ARE ASSIGNED, AND ACT AS YOU ARE EXPECTED TO. BUT ON THE INSIDE? A FEELING EATS AT THE VERY CORE OF YOUR BEING, A FEELING OF PERPETUAL FESTERING UNREST AND HATE. A FEELING THAT WANTS TO BOIL OVER, TO COVER YOUR ENTIRE STILL-STANDIMG CADAVER. A FEELING THAT YOU WISH WOULD COVER YOUR BODY LIKE A COCOON AS YOUR VERY BEING MELTS DOWN AND METAMORPHOSIZES INTO HOW THE REAL YOU SHOULD BE PERCEIVED. YOU ARE DESIGNATED "FEMALE", AND SOCIETY HAD COMDEMNED YOU TO YOUR FATE. BUT YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH YOUR DESIGNATION. IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT. IT MAKES YOU WANT TO CLAW YOUR GANDERBULBS OUT AND MAIM AND DISFIGURE YOUR CHITIN. YOU FEEL YOU WERE MEANT TO HAVE THE DESIGNATION OF "MALE" IN THE DEEPEST DARKEST CORE OF YOUR BEING, FORCED TO TAKE YOUR OWN TWO PRONGS TO MAKE YOUR OUTSIDE MATCH YOUR INSIDE. IN LAYTROLL'S TERMS. "TRANS" IS SHORT FOR "TRANSGENDER." YOU ARE BORN AND ASSIGNED ONE WAY, BUT FEEL AND IDENTIFY AS THE OTHER. ANY QUESTIONS?
Yeah loads. Lemme start with what the fuck is male or female like I get Carapacian's but their denotion is so fucking arbitrary I never thought to ask. I only know metamorphosis with regards to when we lose our tails and gills and become more accustomed to living on land. So this all seems really fucking confusing. And what's a nugbone?
1. ULTIMATELY USELESS DESIGNATIONS THAT CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS LOVE TO GET THEIR BULGES IN A TWIST OVER IF YOU AREN'T "DOING IT RIGHT." WHEN TROLLS ARE HATCHED WE ARE PRETTY MUCH ENTIRELY FUCKING IDENTICAL. UNFORTUNATELY. THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO GO "OKAY, THIS ONE IS A BOY. NOW THIS ONE IS A GIRL. THIS IS WHAT WE WILL VIEW YOU AS ALONGSIDE YOUR BLOOD COLOR AND YOU CAN HARDLY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT." AS YOU AGE AND MOLT THE DIMORPHISMS BETWEEN EACH BECOME MORE APPARENT. MOSTLY IN THAT "HAVE RUMBLESPHERES = YOU ARE FEMALE" AND "NO RUMBLESPHERES = YOU ARE MALE." DOMINANT SEX HORMONES ALSO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT HOW YOUR BODY MOLTS INTO YOUR USELESS DESIGNATION. I AM IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM A MEDICULLER PROFESSIONAL AND HAVE NO DESIRE TO BE SO KINDLY TAKE MY ANSWER WITH AN ENTIRE MINE OF SALT. 2. AS A "PROFESSIONAL YAPPER" I'M APPARENTLY FOND OF USING VERY ROUNDABOUT VISUAL IMAGERY TO DESCRIBE FEELINGS. TROLLS ARE INSECTOID. AS WE TRANSITION FROM LARVAE TO PUPA TO FULLY FORMED TROLL, A COCOONING PROCESS IS INVOLVED. YOUR BODY BASICALLY MELTS AND REFORMS ITSELF INTO YOUR MORE GROWN FORM. 3. SKULL.
OKIMSTILLJUSTASLOSTASBEFORE. SO I THINK IMA GO ASK CABBIE BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TROLL ANATOMY AND SHIT AND I'M NOT FOLLOWING AT FUCKING ALL.
