Some thoughts on the Stormlight Archive:

(Minor spoilers for Words of Radiance and Dawnshard)

In the Stormlight archive, every surgebinder has access to healing magic. This healing magic can heal your body from pretty much any injury, to an extent. But importantly, the way in which it heals your body is into the shape of your soul. Souls in the Cosmere are a composite of the different things that make you you: a web of pieces of identity, a mixture of things that were imposed upon you and things you believe about yourself. The soul is in flux, is dynamic, and is constantly changing. But at the end of the day, it is still your soul.

In Words of Radience, we are briefly introduced to the king of a small nation who any modern day observer would identify as a trans man. He is seen and treated by his people as a man, and expects to be referred to as such. His manhood is never questioned by his subjects, nor by the narrative.

A few books later, in the novella Dawnshard, we learn that the King has become a surgebinder. And because of this, his body has changed. His once female body has become totally and completely genetically and physically male.

This is important. In the Cosmere, your soul is shaped like you, and is a reflection of what you are. This to me suggests that Brandon Sanderson is a trans ally in the deepest sense of the word. Brandon Sanderson, in his work, does not merely believe that trans people are trans. Here, he shows that, in no uncertain terms, he believes that trans men are, deeply, profoundly, on a fundamental level, men.

Thank you Brandon for your wonderful works. I look forward to seeing more LGBTQ rep from you in the future, as you have already shown you have a profound sensitivity to depicting queer experiences. It would be fun to see how queer people exist in the cosmere, and I am excited to see what you have in store.

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.

ask if something contains any transfemine people/characters whatsoever

"it's got trans characters"

it doesn't have any transfeminine people or characters whatsoever

the conveniently ambiguous "trans" that lets ppl avoid acknowledging there's no transfems.

tw: mentions of neglect/abuse

carer with a traumatized age regressor they know they're helping to heal everytime they slip.

never received toys/were given very few toys as a kid? bubbas spoiling you in all the toys you want! if their kiddo is a little more shy and feeling guilty, they'll notice their little one eyeing a toy. "do you want it puppy? no need to feel bad, i just wanna give you everything you deserve"

went without food in public? carer will always order something for you, you never have to watch them eat while you have nothing. "oh honey I would never~ not only is that mean, but you gotta grow big and strong like me!"

went without food/snacks in private? your caregiver always makes sure they stock up on your favorite snacks and brands- no matter how specific they are. there's no shame in only eating a certain brand or flavor of chips. there's always groceries in the house and they're happy to cook for you, wanting to make sure you're safe AND fed. "are you hungy? I can get my sweetheart their favorite snack until the pastas done?"

had bad physical treatment? they would NEVER even THINK about laying a hand on you. if you misbehave or act up, they understand you're just in littlespace. like real kids, emotions can be hard and some moments arent good. sometimes kids like to test boundaries, there's nothing wrong with that. they won't let it slide and will issue lines, time outs, and stuff like early bedtime or shorter playtime- but nothing physical or mentally damaging. "angel I know you're all upset and shouting at bubba, but I need you to sit in the chair for 5 minutes. we don't yell."

missed out on a lot of childhood experiences? that's okay! your cg is soooo happy to integrate anything into their routine. whether it's storytime, going to the park, holiday celebrations, they're happy to accomodate! "oh you wanna have a bubba baby book read before your nap? of course little one!"

touch starved and wanting a lot of physical affection? they'll love on you SO much to try and make up for it! cuddles, pats, carries, boops, you got it! "awww does munchkin need a hug? cmere"

weren't treated the best emotionally? they understand how it can impact you. your carer always reminds you that you're not a burden, it wasn't your fault, and they truly do love you. they're not lying to you, they don't hate you, there's no maliciousness or ulterior motives- just pure love and care. "I know it was a lot, and I'm sorry you had to live through that angel- but I'm glad you're with me now. As long as I'm here, and as long as you'll let me- I won't let anyone treat you like that again. I pinky promise, my little love. Always, and forever."

Icl, this was very self indulgent to me- but I hope anyone who can sadly relate feels atleast a little bit of comfort and wholesomeness from this. I believe you. You're strong.

Having an MtF Little Means…

*MtF is Male to Female, someone who was not born genetically female but identifies or is transitioning to such*

Taking them shopping and helping them pick out pretty clothes or dresses

Telling them that they are beautiful

Reminding them not to tuck for more than 8 hours, and to take one day off a week from tucking

Being understanding when you have to cancel plans because they are too dysphoric

Telling them what a cute tiny baby they are

Understanding that they may not want to be touched sometimes because of dysphoria 

Reminding them that their toy preferences is not an indication of gender (Trucks and toy tools are for girls too!)

Helping them with E shots if they’re afraid of needles

Understanding that tantrums may be caused by dysphoria and not punishing them for it

Helping them find cute feminine baby clothes that they like

Reminding them that they will get the surgeries that they want someday (and that they are still valid even if they don’t want surgery)

Helping care for them during surgery recovery

Asking if they are okay with you correcting others when they get misgendered

Reminding them that it is perfectly okay if they do not want to tuck

Understanding that they may not be out to friends or family, and asking them how they would like you to refer to them when around others

Learning what phrases or actions can trigger dysphoria and avoiding them

Unless they say otherwise, don’t talk about how they “used to look”

Helping them through dysphoric episodes

Reminding them that toys, clothes, cartoons, and other baby things don’t have genders

Using pet names such as “Baby Girl” “Little Girl” “Princess” etc.

Reminding them that when they take a break from tucking they are not less of a woman

Not over-correcting yourself if you slip up. It happens, sometimes a “Prince” or a “he” will slip out. They get it. The best thing you can do is just say sorry and then say the correct name/pronoun. Please do not go on and on and on about how you’re sorry and explaining why you slipped up and how they need to give you more time. This goes for any trans person, regressor or not. It’s making a mountain out of a molehill and it can make them feel worse than the actual slip up.

i’m a supporter of gay rights (solangelo) and gay wrongs (fierrochase)

I’m so excited for the double jump :)

IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR NEWLY OUT TRANS GIRLS

If anybody tries to isolate you, cut you off from other friends, or convince you that they are the only person you can trust or who can be capable of loving you, run extremely far away in the other direction

While transition is a process that takes place over time, it is so important that you love yourself for who you are in the present. You are lovable now; there's only harm in believing otherwise or deferring your happiness until you feel like you've "earned" it
