hi bob
Jesse pinkman is trans elaborated on in a series of headcanons:
-He figured out he was when he was in early high school specifically, this is also where he started burning out and dropping in grades after he came out about it
-This is also what first got him into drugs, though it was just weed and alcohol at first to get a breather from being a pre-T trans guy in the early 2000’s, eventually it started to spiral into harder stuff through has he slipped further and further
-his parents weren’t overtly abusive, but they took his transition pretty shittily, they’d regularly try to tell him to “snap out of it” and would try to live in denial that he was even trans to begin with for the longest time only to try and ignore him when he wouldn’t “grow out of this silly tomboy phase”
-he got surgery from his drug money which is also why he was able to get keyhole too
-same goes for his hrt but before he could afford it, he got it early from some of his buddies he’d smoke with having extra on them
-he’s get into pretty intense arguments with his mom especially too in his high school years, as she wanted to help in her own(misguided) way but would only push him further and further away unintentionally
-he had the Trans Guy pixie cut as his first short hair but saw he didn’t pass so he got into the habit of just shaving it when it would get too long and letting it grow back out (also why it’s always so spiky and short)
-his deadname was the same at his current name just spelled “Jessie” , he used to think about getting a completely different name/legal name change but never really got around to it (until El Camino )
-he’s post-op when you first see him in Breaking Bad but he wears all his layers as a force of habit
-we all know this by know but his closer friends all knew he was trans (badger and skinny Pete kiss each other when the camera is turned I can’t prove it but I swear) but didn’t know him pre-transition as he cut off most people he knew then
-he’d run away to his aunts sometimes after getting into fights with his mom, his aunt was much more progressive and more of a hippie in her younger years, so she’d support him and they’d grow closer to each other, with him eventually living fully at her house by graduation, until the cancer took her as we see in the show
-when he was kidnapped Todd would occasionally offer to let him shower but he’d refuse because he didn’t want to out himself to them, he’d also hate anyone getting close to him or touching him because of it (also because Todd is evil but it’s another reason)
my favorite video of all time ever
ok so you acknowledge that fatness isn’t inherently unhealthy. health at every size, fat athletes exist, etc etc.
but are you normal about fat people who ARE unhealthy? do you still respect us? do you still advocate for our access to healthcare? do you still see us as valuable?
are you normal about people whose fatness is due to disability?
are you normal about people whose fatness is just due to lifestyle—those of us whose fatness is, actually, “Our Own Fault”?
it seems to me that “you can be healthy at any weight” is kind of like “curb cuts also benefit moms with strollers”—it’s true, and worth pointing out, but it’s stopping short of actually advocating for the people whom the conversation is actually ABOUT.
curb cuts ARE useful for many kinds of people, but they’re NEEDED for wheelchair and mobility aid users. you CAN be fat and healthy, but that’s not WHY you should treat fat people with respect. fatphobia/misia is bad because we’re human fucking beings with the same rights and needs as thin people, not because some of us meet an arbitrary benchmark of “healthy”.
consider your attitudes toward ALL fat people, not just the “good”/palatable/healthy ones. it’s natural to have these kinds of unconscious biases, but that’s exactly why it’s so important to examine and rethink them.
"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."
Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?
