I think, if I had to describe what Succession is like in just one small moment from the show, it would probably be Kendall going to breakfast, a shell of a person, immediately followed by Tom's "bad news about my hymen" and it somehow in no way undercutting the tension and sense of dread in the scene
I really need to stop being a fucking bitch and start the medical transition I’ve been salivating at the thought of for 7 years
The fearmongering around medical transition for transmascs will never not be upsetting to me.
“you’re gonna look ugly as a man” “but you’re such a pretty girl, don’t change that” Wrong. You will look different after T, but you will look happy. You will probably grow hair and gain weight and look pretty different, and none of that is bad or makes you less desirable. You are going to look like you and that’s all that matters.
“T makes you angry” “you’re gonna be a scary man i won’t feel safe around you” Wrong. Testosterone does not “make” you angry. Messing with your hormones will mess with your emotions for sure, but you will not immediately become some scary predator when you start T. Being a man/masculine does not make you a threat, a predator, or inherently angry. That’s radfem shit.
“bottom growth is gross” “no one will want you with bottom growth” Wrong. Bottom growth is cool and a LOT of guys end up loving theirs a lot more than they thought they would. For a lot of people it is a desirable trait, there are people who find bottom growth hot and attractive. And! If you’re sure you don’t want it there’s things you can do to work around that, just talk to your provider.
“bottom surgery is super painful and not worth it” First off, call it phalloplasty, because that’s what you’re talking about. Second, yes it’s painful, it’s surgery. There are risks to it and complications can happen, but that’s true of any surgery. Phallo might not be for you, but it is life saving care for other folks. It is beautiful and should be talked about as life saving care and not as some afterthought thing that no one actually does.
Being transmasculine is a beautiful thing. Transitioning medically is not something every trans person wants, but if you notice yourself holding back for the reasons i’ve listed above (or similar) maybe reconsider.
When Izzy first walked out I was worried that he would be made into a joke that the crew would laugh at
but then he started singing and the dancing began and I realized that he wasn’t meant to be a joke at all. This is the most open and happy we’ve ever seen Izzy and the show treated it that way. Not mocking him but instead celebrating this moment.
When we talk about queer representation it’s usually just focused on queer relationships, but what I love about this episode is it shows other sides of being queer. That moment where Izzy saw Wee John doing his makeup and had a realization that he wanted that too? That is what being queer means to me. The crew singing along and cheering for him? That is what being apart of the queer community means to me.
What i love about this show is that it shows queer joy, not in a sanitized way, but in away that is messy, beautiful, and without any mockery or shame.

You might see something by me in there… go support this awesome project if you can!
This is your chance to order a copy (esp if you want to collect at RDC7) and help support the costs of us sending free copies to our contributors.
You have until the end of May to pledge!
Including all the great art, fics, essays and more contained in the (soon to be unpublished) first edition, we're thrilled to include over 30 new works. With more fics, essays, personal pieces, memes, tattoos and a lot more art.
Adapt Evolve Become: The Genderqueer Fandom of NBC's Hannibal, second edition, will publish July 2025 and backers have the option to pick up their copy in person at Red Dragon Con 7 in London if attending.
Stretch Goals: Currently we just have the two pledge options - postage or collection - but should we meet the funding goal we will look into producing stretch goals for everyone such as stickers, bookmarks and postcards.
No digital copy: There won't be a digital copy available as part of this Kickstarter as we plan to release a digital copy free online the same as the first edition.
BACK NOW!
The sexiest thing someone could say to me is “I found a printer that always works and I’m gonna buy it for you”. Im dead fucking serious. I will lick n suck on you for two thousand years if you give me a printer that isn’t fucking evil and possessed.
Happy trans day of visibility to all who celebrate! I will not be very visible today because I am infact confined to my bed like a Victorian child due to The Horrors (chronic illness relentlessly kicking my ass). Wishing joyous adventures and love to all, and crazy slutty t4t sex to all who participate <3
