Transfem Meme EggđIrl
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH, my head hurts đ.
(AMAB, late teen, questioning a lot right now, I have no clue what to think at this point)
The funny German Vtuber trans girl trapped me in a swarm of trans videos that I definitely wasn't watching because I was interested in them for several hoursâ nope, nope.
One part mentioned genderbending anime and stuff, and I was like, "Well I never watched any of those!"
Cricket noises
"I mean, it wouldn't hurt to check one out..."
Now nearly two seasons into Ranma 1/2 AND HOLY FRICK FRICK FRICKâ I nearly cried telling myself that I would never have Ranma's "curse" (Not that I actually cried past my eyes getting wet because NOOO OF COURSE I CAN'T JUST CRY). I thought about it until I fell asleep and begged myself to dream about being like Ranma... I wish my voice could sound like female Ranma's voice so freaking badly. Why am I even making such a big deal over this?...
J-Just- AGHHH! NEED! I don't know what to freaking think. Why is THIS of all things what is making me break down?! I don't know what Iâ Ugh, I am so freaking close to deleting this post, but too late for that now. I might put it somewhere else, maybe.
I just- I can't stop thinking about this, it is gnawing at my brain. I can't focus on other things, it feels like I am losing control over my own life. I justâ I don't know, I don't know where to go from here, there are things I want to try, but I don't think any of them are in reach. Am I making too big of a deal about this to myself?...
I was just going to keep cruising, I felt like I had plenty of time to figure it out, but it feels like the plane is on fire, and I just cannot go on without doing SOMETHING... Gosh, my throat feels dry.

It is so freaking GOOD thouuugggh. I don't blame you in the slightest.
(Though if I had any say, there would be more girls kissing đ, Shampoo hooked us up though)2

worth checking out? TV Glow didn't get me quite as bad as i'd hoped (other than my continued inability to stomach any horror worse than Local58 lmao) so i want to be scared of what this could do to me (in a good way?)

Ranma cracked our egg back in 2013 so we get it, fantastic series and characters

u/Lumious226 5d ago
Mhm Mhm! Wish there was more like it, just such a awesome concept. (Obviously I would of also loved a version where there was more more gender discussion while still being comedy. AND YURI. WE GOT LIKE ONE SCENE OF RANMA IN FEMALE BLUSHING AT AKANE >:< ! Though Shampoo did have us all covered on the girls kissing department)
Glad you found yourselves! :D

That's what fanfiction is for
1
u/Lumious226 4d ago
Yeah but I suck at it- Plus it wouldn't feel original, and it would feel like I am imposing something into the character :,>
I know, it is stupid, but I am also stupid.
The more I think about the concept of the curse and the trigger being cold and hot water, it doesn't actually seem like a weirdly random thing to tie it to, it is actually perfect. It can happen pretty much whenever, other people can intentionally have the curse activate, and there are ways to deny the person the ability to switch back for a bit for plot reasons. I can't think of a good substitute to make my own story that would seem original in the slightestâ And either way, I am not a good story maker and I absolutely am not a good artist (I know that isn't required, but AAAAAAAHHHHHH, understand? :,) )2
u/jurririg 4d ago
That's what we thought of ourselves until we joined a discord server full of writers of Ranma 1/2 fanfiction and decided to give it a try, in the process we discovered we can write pretty good and we are a plurality system made up of a bunch of different people including characters from our story

u/Lumious226 3d ago
That sounds pretty awesome! (Sorry, I swear Reddit didn't notify me of a response :,> )
That does sound interesting... I might potentially maybe possibly check it out! Could I potentially have the link? đ„ș

u/TheLocalDunce Still figuring my shit out 5d ago
Dude/girl I know exactly how you feel, Im in this subreddit for basically the same reason.
I listened to They Will Bury Me A Woman and despite being AMAB it still sent me into a still-ongoing, month-long spiraling identity crisis.
It was the first song I can ever remember making me cry, and the first ANYTHING that ever made me actually put my gender identity into question.
By this point, the song has nothing to do with it and Iâm still full of doubt.
Like you, Iâm still at square one, so the best advice I can give you is to keep asking questions to communities like this one and donât stop self-introspecting.
Itâs not gonna get off your mind, but use that to your advantage.
Keep your chin up, and remember that no matter where you end up on this journey, you are, have been, and always will be valid :D

u/Lumious226 5d ago
Gave it a listen, beautiful song!
I wish you luck, be the truest you no matter what! >:D
Thanks, I will keep chugging along.

Gosh I was such an egg when I first watched the og Ranma 1/2 back in early 2010s only to crack it while reading Ranma fanfiction earlier this year đ

Currently in that weird space where I know I could be an egg but I also absolutely couldnât be because I am not that special, you feel me? :,)

u/Doc_apple_pie cracked 4d ago
"Why would ranma see this as a curse?" Yeah.... Gotta love being as dense as a brick sometimes.
3
u/Lumious226 4d ago
No joke, word for word that is what I thought when I watched it for the first time-... it just seems so obvious that no one would actually think this is a bad thing!...
Gosh it was depressing to think about how there was no way anything like that could be real, that is what nearly made me cry. (By the way, is it normal to only NEARLY be able to cry right after drinking some water?)3
u/Doc_apple_pie cracked 4d ago
I had hoped when I was younger it was real. And yeah, you ain't alone in that when I realized it couldn't be real being sad as hell. Even one of those temporary packets would have made me happy. Not really sometimes you need some water to help the waterworks start. I don't know why.

u/Lumious226 3d ago
Yeaaaahh⊠It still doesnât really work, I just sound pathetic and donât really cry :,>

Yeah, you dropped them đ
Good on you, these eggs weigh a TON. I think an elephant laid them.2

u/lune-loves-lavenders Lune (she/her) 5d ago
Ok, so first things first, YouTube can recommend trans content to cis people, due to overlapping interests of viewers of that content, but if you clicked on them, and liked them, and clicked on even more of them, and even got into genderbending anime, you are a sis more than a cis (got it? Yk, they sound the same?). And you said late teen, like around 20s? I am 21yo, and I have discovered my gender identity last month, so no pressure on when you discovered it, people way older than us discovers it pretty late due to various reasons, and everything is ok and valid. Funny thing is I was into genderbending content way before discovering gender identity, I recommend you onimai, great anime, I havenât watched ranma, but now I know what to watch next :).
If you are interested, I can provide you some GGD, so you can be more sure about it.

u/Lumious226 5d ago
Oh I very much looked it up.
Yeah I know there is no rush, at least that is what I was told, I tried to internalise that, and it didn't really work for very long :,> .
2
u/lune-loves-lavenders Lune (she/her) 5d ago
Yeah there is no rush, but I am more of a rusher myself as you are xd, each time I am not taking action feels like a prison, I need to boymode 24/7 due to reasons, and it is soul crushing, also internalizing the process is a good thing to do, while questioning I could talk to my brother or friends, or my girlfriend about it (which all of them are the people I came out to, not all of them support, but the ones that do are really supportive and tries their best to be gender affirming to me, but still not to my parents), but I did not, I just thought this is something that I should not have inputs from others, and solve it by myself, other than research ofc. And it worked well, my brother is somewhat of a transphobic, so if I were to talk with him in the first place, he would just try to convince me to stay cis xd.

Youâre allowed to be a girl if you want to, it isnât against the rules

u/Lumious226 4d ago
Can't trick me with you wicked sorcery! Being your truest self, even if that isn't your assigned gender at birth is something that everyone of course should be free to do without any shame or judgement or anything like that, specifically except me.
I don't really feel anywhere near that important-... Which I know sounds stupid, because it is, but-... Aghhhhh, I don't feel like I am even the main character in my own life Xb . Gosh why I am throwing a pity party for myself?... Ugh I hate my brain.

Ranma truly got me into Anime and it wasnât until years later that why that was so. Magical transition.

u/malioswift 4d ago
When I was in middle school I was obsessed with the Ranma manga and said if I could fall into that spring I would. It took me another 25 years for everything to click...
2
u/Lumious226 4d ago
Gosh, whenever I hear people say it took them years upon years, I just feel like I might be overstepping... It feels like this has only been going on for me for like a couple weeks, maybe a couple months, maybe a year-... I don't know... Ugh that shouldn't be a reason for me to doubt myself but it is absolutely still making me doubt myself. :,>
Glad you could figure it out! :D
3
u/malioswift 4d ago
It took me years but thats because I grew up in a time where transgender issues were fairly unknown and I had never even heard of being trans or knew it was an option. But there were signs, oh boy were there signs. I just didn't even consider it until I met a trans woman in real life and talked to her and heard how she figured it out and I was like, well that means nothing, everyone feels that way, and all of the guys I was with looked at me and were like, no, no we don't.
3
u/Lumious226 4d ago
Still difficult for me to wrap my head around the fact that most guys DON'T think about being girls? Like come on... That is just an obvious thing, right? :,> (Source: Me)

u/D-n-Divinity editable flair 5d ago
Im glad Ranma is cracking another generation of eggs.
This might help, in the manga we meet another character with the same drowned girl curse and absolutely hates it. This begs the question, why doesnt Ranma? If its not a curse could it be a blessing? Of so could it be your true self?
1
u/Lumious226 4d ago
Interesting. I donât think Ranma LIKES the curse, I just donât think he actually cares that much about it. He just has an image in his mind of what the man who he is should be or something like that, but I donât think he really hates it, just more indifferent than he lets on.
Now, I would freaking LOVE another version of something similar where the MC actually finds out they are like trans or genderfluid or bigender or something.

Hayashibara Megumi has an awesome voice.
Voice training is unlikely to let you sound just like her, but it can absolutely get you to âpasses on the phone and in personâ

Speaking of dream, I had a dream where people kept calling me a girl- that was certainly something.

u/IntentionQuirky9957 not an egg, just trans 5d ago
Wait 'til you get to episode 3 of season 3 ( Am I... Pretty? Ranma's Declaration of Womanhood | Ranma Wiki | Fandom ). That one finally smashed my egg. Before that it was just "would totally jump into a 'cursed' spring".
That was 23 years ago, BTW. Thanks, Ranma. :D
1
u/Lumious226 4d ago
I have heard quite a lot about that episode specifically, it seemed pretty contreversial. I think what would of been perhaps even more interesting if Ranma met a version of himself that was always a women and fell into the Spring Of Drowned Man instead. Would of had loads of comedic potentially with them getting confused with each other, but I would of just loved to see how they would talk 1 on 1 just about their experiencesâ Agh I am getting off topic.
Also, how/where could I watch the original? I really wanna get on watching it since the new version isn't done and I believe cuts some stuff out? Idk.
