a big part of being trans online is not relating to 90% of relatable trans posts & that's ok

i'm just gonna come right out and say it

i was never able to get into fallout new vegas and every time someone online talks about it as a Trans Experience® it gives me hives

I don't know what's up with the shark

I don’t know how to program despite writing a webcomic about hackers and at this point I simply refuse to learn

also most moe anime drives me up a fucking wall and I don’t really click with yuri unless the girls are banging, thinking about banging, or actively trying to murder each other

like the ikea plush one?

Charlotte Ariel Finn @ByCharlotteFinn4/19/2023, 2:06 PM

I think so? It's cute, but people act like it's mandatory trans women have one

Filbi Pott @Filbi4/19/2023, 2:47 PM

It became an in-joke because it has the same colors as the trans flag

Actually it was a greentext post (I think, or maybe a Reddit post) about a closeted trans woman living with her parents who was secretly on HRT. Her parents had a tendency to sweep her room (the real paranoid types) so she hid them in a Blaja plush, as that was the one place the parents wouldn't think to look.

The post got popular on social media, everyone started calling Blaja a trans ally, and it snowballed from there.

Addendum: I cannot find the post I'm referring to anymore, and i can't find any mention either with the closest being Newsweek saying the memes started "on Reddit".

However, in my personal experience, Blaja was a relative unknown right up until screenshots of said post were circulating Twitter, at which point it was like all the doors lighting up from laughter in Monster's Inc. in terms of proliferation. It was suddenly everywhere.

Current day, it's probably just the colors thing. It would appear this post is lost to time, and served moreso as a catalyst than a cause.
