Dykes Dig Giant Robots

@dykesdiggiantrobots

Zahra/35/PNW tranny dyke. Main is @queereldritchgalaxyprincess. This is my sideblog for getting my grubby queer hands all over giant stompy robots.

Why the fuck are people on Twitter upset about nonbinary robots. Transformers are aliens, why would they follow another species gender binary based on reproduction when they don't even reproduce sexually. If anything, ALL the robots should use they/them.

Robots all have some kind of underlying--or super obvious--transness to them. Every single one of them. It's genuinely dumb to try to say otherwise, a metric fuckload of them all have some level of, "I was constructed for this purpose and told to act in xyz way, but after discovering that I am more than what they said I was, I decided to choose my OWN identity".

Like, how the fuck do you say that isn't trans? The power to choose how you present yourself and how you act in your own way that defies the specifications given to you at birth. Plus there's the constant theme of robots changing parts/shape to better suit themselves. Robots. Are. Trans. As. Fuck. And it's awesome. In any other lens people celebrate that kind of stuff, but the second gender gets obviously applied they get up in arms about it.

Also the show is literally called transformers.

from what i remember the cybertronians saw what humanity was doing and was like "oh. oh dang we got more options? cool lets use these too why not, we arent shackled to just being one thing"

which further drives the point home pretty aptly
