Every trans person's favourite superpower is shapeshifting and favourite color is purple :3

Hey, I'm a straight middle-aged man whose favourite colour is purple and I like wearing skirts for comfort...

Ohhhhhh....

(jokes aside, when I wear a kilt I'm told it's awesome and I get really annoyed that people wouldn't treat one of my trans friends the same way)

You have strength that I couldn't imagine and carry a weight every day that would be beyond me

Dang it, you're right it used to be orange when really little. Now black and now purple

My favorite color is orange. Not sure what that says about me.

actually it's super speed (like quicksilver in that one x-men movie) and pinkish-red.

smh my head

I think there can be a difference between favourite/coolest superpower and nicest to have superpower

well my main dysphoria rn comes from me being overweight and that might either get fixed through the power itself, as speedsters often burn a lot of calories when being fast, or i could just steal ozempic/money for ozempic :3

and in case i wanter to alter my body surgically i could also steal money for it and idk, figure the rest out with speed power :33

It's also shapeshifting for me, but it ain't cuz I'm trans. It's cuz I'm a big dinking furry. So same same, but different. Solidarity! Happy pride

Shapeshifting to look hotter, yes, but also to horrify and dismember my foes

Lol right? Entry #1 in my post egg-crack physical goals/inspo list. Fem-leaning but still androgynous, fit but not super ripped or bulky, the ideal physique for confusing+arousing+intimidating as wide a swathe of the population as possible.

Haha, exactly!

Shapeshifting is the universal superpower that gives you nearly everything:

  • Change your appearance/sex on the fly (mega appeal to trans folks). The obvious benefit.
  • Need extra reach? Just elastigirl your arms and legs. It's better than telekinesis in some ways!
  • Want to get somewhere fast? Make yourself light and grow wings. You can fly! Maybe not as fast as "superhero flight" but still way faster and more efficient than running. Also don't need "sticky hands/feet" to climb: Just give yourself some serious claws.
  • Want to swim fast? Give yourself fins! You might even manage gills and be able to breathe underwater.
  • Need to stay warm in a super cold environment? Give yourself lots of insulating fat and thick fur! Polar bear mode!
  • Need to be strong/move something heavy? Also polar bear mode!
  • Depending on your skill, you can hide really well. Not as good as invisibility but still great.
  • You can make stuff with your body! If you have super fine control, you could make diamonds.
  • You can store stuff inside yourself the easy way. Literal pocket. As dry as you want (though probably still quite warm).

What it lacks:

  • Mind control. Though, with enough psychological prowess, you could get people addicted to having sex with you (maybe?) ๐Ÿคท
  • Magic stuff.

As someone who's apagender, yes, that would be awesome! I'd love to be able to look like whatever I wanted on a given day. It would be fascinating to conduct social experiments and see how differently people are treated depending on their appearance, too.
