Trans Megathread for the Week of December 30th, 2024 to January 5, 2025 - The Summer Hikaru Died

Here's to a new year! Here's my first mega try (also first time posting in a while due to reasons) but heya! Admittedly struggled a fair bit with self doubt and anxiety on this one as put it off for a while/other things caught up with me but I figure I'll be glad I did it once I've done it. It's kinda being done last minute though, so admittedly there's that...

I'd been intending to make the mega about something else originally when I signed up, but that would require more time on my part (and I just binge read this recently, so it all works out). Anyways, my subject of the week is The Summer Hikaru Died; it's a queer (BL) horror manga which is currently also scheduled for anime release next year (2025).

Content warnings naturally follow and further details will be spoilered.

Anyways, I should cut myself short at this (and make sure to have something properly written beforehand for next time). But anyways, thus far it's a strong recommend (if you feel alright with the content warnings) from me.

Join our public Matrix server! https://matrix.to/#/#tracha:chapo.chat

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

  • Y'all know about nullos? You should

    Nullification is a type of SRS where the genitals are removed, and the genital area is completely flat/smooth, with only a small hole for the urethra left. The procedure is done by a few clinics in the USA and Mexico. People who have had the procedure or want it, refer to themselves as nullos.

    There's three main motivations for getting it, in my anecdotal experience talking with other nullos: first is obviously gender dysphoria. I'm agender, and so are most nullos.

    A second is asexuality: some want their bodies to reflect their sexuality, and for some it's a combination of gender and sexuality that makes them feel more comfortable having a body without genitals.

    A third, smaller but still significant portion of nullos are cis gay men, bottoms, who from as far as I can tell desire it as expression of their sexuality.

    I'm in a small community online (OK, a discord server, lol) of nullos, and it's a genuine 50/50 split between "I'm ace never want to do anything remotely sexual" and the most wildly kinky people I've ever fucking met. Also the most accepting people I've ever met.

    Small note, there's some overlap with people with BIID? Which is interesting

    • Is "nullo/nullos" actually the preferred term? It sounded potentially off to me but Idk if nouns are fine in this case or not.

      The second, asexuality motivation is cool and new to me, makes sense. The not-cisnormative forms of bottom surgery I have always thought were rad and fuckin rule, tbh.

      • Yeah, nullo or in plural form, nullos. I get what you mean with nouns sounding off, it's like saying "homos" instead of "homosexual people"? But it's the preferred term yeah.

        Also: people can choose to preserve nerve endings, meaning, have the nerves from their clitoris or glans under their skin so it can be stimulated if they want to. As you can imagine, not popular with the asexual nullos.

        • Nullo

          And yes I have seen nerve preservation nullification which is cool too tbh. I can still remember when imageboard posters would unhelpfully say shit like "you can't have both!!!" in response to posts about PPV or VPP and whatnot, and so the proliferation of different bottom surgery options makes me happy

          • PPV/VPP community has a cool term too: salmacians!

            • Yes, I remember discussion over whether that one was fine as well, (from leddit) but I didn't see the conclusion. Seeing "salmacian" mentioned somewhere on Tumblr is how I learned in the first place.

              • Discussion on if it was fine, wdym? It's perfectly fine. Before the word salmacian, people would say "I wish I was born intersex". Salmacian is the right word for that altersex identity. Or "bigenital" could also be used, same way "angenital" is used by nullos.

                Like the subtle difference is that technically nullo/salmacian describe a body type, and angenital/bigenital describe the altersex identity. But non-altersex people can just refer to us/our body types with nullo & salmacian. Def prefer it to "people who had nullificiation surgery/people who had PPV", that's denigrating on the level of "people with homosexuality"

                Also, salmacian.org

                • There was a reddit post about the origin of the term, it's been ages and Idek if the sub is still there but it stands vividly in my brain. Or maybe it was never real and is purely a bit I invented to prank myself.

                  technically nullo/salmacian describe a body type, and angenital/bigenital describe the altersex identity. But non-altersex people can just refer to us/our body types with nullo & salmacian.

                  This is the first time I've ever seen someone use 'altersex' in conversation, although I have seen the term before. I literally don't go outside and lost touch with the websites almost a year ago, so my knowledge of these subjects tends to be fairly stringy, which is disappointing to me. So I appreciate you coming on here to post about this and educate everyone a bit.
