Toyosatomimi no Miko is a character in the Touhou Project series introduced in its 13th installment, Ten Desires.

Miko was once Prince Shoutoku, a Japanese leader in the 600s known for promoting Buddhism and streamlining the Japanese government. In the Touhou lore, she was visited by Taoist hermit Seiga Kaku, who had heard about Miko’s longing for immortality. Seiga introduced her to Taoism, but she rejected it as a religion unfit for placating an entire country. She was intrigued by its promise of immortality, however, and privately converted to it, advocating for Buddhism to keep Japan stable. After drinking an “immortality elixir” (mercury sulfide), however, she was forced to let go of her body and become a supernatural hermit like Seiga, notably taking on the form of a woman, making her a canonically trans character (lets-fucking-go).

After convincing a hermit from a rival clan (Mononobe no Futo) to sleep without decaying, Miko followed in suit, waiting for a time where a Taoist Japan would revive her in search of guidance. However, Buddhist monks were able to keep her mausoleum sealed, and the legends surrounding her were slowly brushed off- which led to her transportation into Gensokyo, where the folklore of old is a reality of everyday life.

When she awoke in Gensokyo, it was right after Buddhist monk Byakuren Hijiri opened her own temple, however, leading to a surge of divine spirits across the realm, setting up the events of Ten Desires.

What look like headphones on her are canonically earmuffs- Shoutoku was allegedly able to discern between ten questions asked at once, an ability carried by Miko (although with her enhanced abilities, she can also analyze each person and determine their inner desires (thus the title of the game))- although it means her hearing is highly sensitive and has to be muffled to prevent pain.

Initially I was upset about r/cth getting banned but now I'm grateful because I don't think it would have ever become as much of a trans positive place as hexbear

[–] Thallo@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I miss the constant influx of new users, though.

Maybe it was just because I was learning more back then, but I felt like we were sharing a lot more political theory. I feel like there were more views and arguments before hexbear settled on the Dengist consensus. I always found those talks really interesting.

had another girls night out, this time with my partner and her best friend and my new trans besties.

We ruled the bar! I got called 'a magician' with makeup which my brain is still rolling around in.

A boy flirted with me 😊

My partner kissed me in public which she had said might take a while.

I started a girls poker game and our first game is next week!

I feel like i died and went to heaven how can this be my life! Dare to dream it's never too late!!!!

Alright. I'm fucking done for a while. I'm sick and tired of attempting to help people or cheer people up and having it thrown back in my face. I'm sick of it. It's happened 3 times today and I'm over it. Here (not today, but somewhat recently), Discord, Matrix. Fuck it all. I'm done. Yes I had to vent. Sorry. I'm irritated.

Yesterday I got to have a long conversation with the person who runs the feminist and queer centers at my school (the person who I posted about a few days ago saying I thought she was potentially a Marxist? That person.) I'm so happy, she is indeed a communist and she is also COVID-conscious, which is really important to me. I told them that I wanted to start a COVID-consciousness student group here and she got really excited and offered a lot of support, including a spot at their table at the upcoming club fair. I also told her about my wish to start a socialist reading group on campus (and by "socialist" I really mean Marxist-Leninist, which I think she understood) and they told me that they would absolutely support that too. We had a pretty cool conversation about the politics on campus, about the upcoming election season (which will Not be fun), the existing socialist group within the school, the dire state of COVID consciousness at the school, a lot of topics. She even offered to help me look for work in the surrounding area, because unfortunately most jobs on campus are reserved for federal work-study and I don't have that. Also she runs a trans theory reading group that I will definitely be going to. I'm so glad to have made connections with her, I'm still smiling.

Mass force-feminization must therefore become our programme.

Great conclusion despite the non-sequitur. Trans men are exempt from the feminization of course as long as they dismantle the patriarchy from the inside.

Recently, almost every time I present fem and take a ride share alone the male drivers act weird af towards me

It's fine when I'm in public but shit this scares me so much it's probably just cause I'm alone with them in an enclosed space wtf

This was one of the many things that made me hesitate taking hormones for so long too

[–] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

Yes, it's a thing. I believed and trusted the cis women and AFAB people in my life when they said men were trash and would be weird and creepy and also just touch you all in public. Different thing to actually experience. Literally first day I went to school, the most I've been "accidently" touched

Opened a new vial of estrogen today! bridget-vibe The first one lasted about 8 months, even though a lot of it has been wasted to needle dead space. And this new one is apparently gonna last even longer because it's cypionate instead of valerate.

It's DIY, and even thought it's from the same place I got the first one, I'm still kinda nervous about a freak accident having happened and the bottle being contaminated or something. If I stop posting know that I died doing what I love (injecting the girl juice)

I attended a presentation yesterday put on by the feminist center at my school, and I think the person who runs it is a Marxist! I caught the use of Marxist terminology in the presentation and when we were doing share-alouds I responded in kind, and I know they recognized it because they then responded to what I said. I am definitely going to go there and check it out because I need to talk to them more, and I'm really interested in the building of intersectional feminist theory through a Marxist lens.

PSA: If you're having any issues with funds related to transitioning, don't hesitate to reach out using the mutual aid comm! That's what it's there for and plenty of people here would be willing to help, including me. I talked this over informally with some of the other mods and we came up with these simple guidelines for making those kinds of posts:

  1. Don't get into specifics on what you need to use it for. "Transition related help" is all you need to say.
  2. Don't mention age, where you live (including country/state), or anything else that could be used to personally identify you.

Also, given that some of the resources out there use litecoin, you can also request donations to a litecoin wallet which may help you skip some otherwise tedious steps.

Since I started transitioning and spending more time in trans spaces online, I've noticed it's sadly common for trans people to encounter issues getting what they need, especially in certain US states or countries like the UK that are attempting to cut off gender affirming care. So, I wanted to highlight that this is always an option available to those who need it.

If anyone has any feedback or anything to add to this, please let me know.

brainworms timeI always see posts on Twitter like “transgirls need to stop feeling jealous or bitter about people who pass more than them/need to learn to love themselves” or just anything about how “passing isn’t that important” or we “shouldn’t hold ourselves to cis beauty standards” etc.
And then you click on their profile and it’s always someone insanely cis-passing who does nothing but post thirst traps.
