Happy trans day of visibility, everybody! Sorry this post is a day late, I was working all
day.
I want to take this time to acknowledge Aiden, and the excitement I have for him existing as
a trans man in media. Trans representation is incredibly hard to find, especially respectful
representation.
However, I also want to give a little PSA on respecting Aiden's character, and
understanding that he is both more than his transness and should be treated the same as
all the other men in the cast.
I'm sure most confusion comes from ignorance, but Tom's sexuality is not changed if he were
to be attracted to Aiden! He's gay, and Aiden is a man - nothing is changed for either of
their sexualities. Sorry if it's crude to say, but gay does not equal penissexual, LOL.
Let's also please refrain from applying words like "femboy" to Aiden. To begin with, it
doesn't even apply to him. A femboy is (now mainly in a sexual context) a man who dresses
explicitly and presents very feminine - which objectively, Aiden does not do. Defining him
as one overexagerates his femininity, when frankly he doesn't have that many feminine traits
or ways of presenting to begin with. It sort of implies he is inherently feminine simply for
being trans.
Let's please respect one another, and while Aiden isn't real to react to whatever things are
said in the fanbase - we have lots of trans members who are. Let's celebrate Aiden for his
representation without deminishing or defining him for it.
