#halimede

There is a lot of commentary on whether the creator of Halimede (the twitter account, not the HWBM character) is trans,

and like sure, given her skill at posting and deep familiarity with transfem culture, experience, etc., probably yes

But who cares. to give anything more than the most passing recognition of “yeah probably” is, in my view, far too parasocial and an exceedingly unhealthy way of engaging with the character.

If the creator wants to talk about her experiences and influences - then sure. But until then we should respect her privacy and let the matter rest. After all, I’d hope that if anyone could understand why a trans woman who want to be anonymous on the internet and not have a bright spotlight shone on her and face hyperscrutiny and harassment, it would be other trans women.

So please. Let’s let the matter rest. there’s more than enough to discuss around the character, the jokes, phrasing, implications, occasional incredibly solid analysis, and above all the absolute unfailing commitment ot the bit

In the rpg spire: the city must fall, the high elves (aelfir) are all genetic sociopaths who don’t even understand why drow, who are inferior in their eyes, would even see their mistreatment as unjust. But this passage makes me imagine a high elf halimede who gets really into defending drow rights because she’s a drow chaser

believe me when i say that halimede would have been nuked off the internet by now if her bit wasn’t roleplaying as someone who’s TME

part 2 because I have more thoughts

I feel masculine sometimes and when that feeling isn’t accompanied by dysphoria sometimes it is accompanied by something else that feels positive. I wonder if it is the feeling of fitting into what others like from me? If I look in the mirror and see a handsome man is my brain rewarding me for fitting in or for being myself.

do men and boys feel ashamed when they are referred to as a collective. I have a friend who will see me messing around with guys and she will say “boys” or something to that effect. I always felt condescended a little bit. Like being associated with the word or group gave me shame. Is this experienced by men or is this evidence

I want to talk to trans people about trans things but I feel like an imposter. But really I just want to talk to people anyone would do. But on my mind lately has been gender. I’ve been reading all of Halimede’s substack and it has stimulated some lines of thought

I grew up as a boy or a man and so much of my experience has been coded and intertwined with that identity that I don’t know what is a boy experience and what is a universal experience. Similarly what about girl experiences

referring to myself as a boy in this writing made me sad. Even though I introduce myself and present myself that way. Thus is life I suppose

Many such cases

Trans Discs headcanons are very good and thematically resonant and textually supported but if one does not also hc Shopkeep as trans it makes her look a bit like HalimedeMF

I find it a little odd that people have a hard time understanding why transfemmes like the fantasy of chasers (such as Halimede) but hate chasers irl. Like this is level one understanding of trans girls and coping mechanisms and y'all are already failing, it is pretty embarrassing IMO, but alas

i don’t know how halimede keeps doing it. i couldn’t write like that if i tried. i am fascinated. consistently saying this shit in these specific ways necessitates such a mastery of the subject. i’ve never seen anything ever be upsetting as subtely as this

Most trans have severe mommy issues so it is our jobs as chasers to fulfil the role of mother for them, the problem is I don’t know how mothers act, I do not have a mother, I believe I just spawned in fully formed for the mission
