Rebecca sugar is literally showcasing what transphobic behavior is like in Steven Universe and I’m so blown away by it!
Steven explained to blue and yellow diamond that he’s not pink diamond anymore and that he goes by Steven now but they still refer to him as “her” and “pink”. We can tell it bothers Steven but he tries not to let it get to him. Instead focusing on the mission at hand.
In ‘Familiar’ blue actually calls Steven by his name but then makes fun of it and still calls him pink. I don’t think it’s intentional misgendering/deadnaming it’s just the diamonds don’t take Steven seriously and don’t understand his identity at all which is a reality for many trans and non binary people when confronting their family and friends.
From the diamonds perspective they’re struggling to understand all this new information and either poke fun at it or ignore it all together. They’ve even criticized the way Steven looks. Will they ever take Steven seriously and respect him and his identity?
Rebecca and her team truly know how to eloquently express queer concepts in this show it never ceases to amaze me!
remember when you were a kid and whenever your parents came into the room while you were doing something for pleasure like looking at something on the computer or watching tv and you’d immediately close the thing like you’d just been caught watching porn when you were actually doing nothing wrong this post was made by strict parents with no boundaries gang
Dads be like. I have trauma. I will never talk about or acknowledge this. One day u will come across a picture of my childhood and realize that I have a entire flesh and blood brother still alive who I have never mentioned or acknowledged. Anyway why dont you tell me anything about ur fucking life.
2019 is going to be a great year because we’re going to make it that way, no more of this “I hope good things come to me” shit, I’m gonna go out and drag good things to me by the fucking hair
