“Sun Wukong: Haven't finished my homework. What should I do?"

CW: trans death

I don’t usually post about losing our trans siblings but Eden Knight, a popular Twitter user, is being ignored by media. Her story seriously deserves more coverage. Eden was a young Saudi trans woman living in the U.S. until yesterday. Her family hired a popular Heritage Foundation-backed “fixer,” Michael Pocalyko, who arranged for her to undergo forced detransitioning. His associates trapped her in D.C. through financial coercion and threatened her with her undocumented status. She couldn’t take it anymore after a month of this treatment. She left a heartbreaking note that has been shared on Twitter thousands of times. The popular phrase “death before detransition” isn’t an exaggeration.

Not only was Eden influential in her own right but her story shows how the broader landscape of anti-trans fundamentalist organizing reaches across borders, religions, and ideologies. If you’re in media, please consider writing about her story. Her family has now confirmed all of it. Her family just confirmed everything. Unlike many posthumous trans narratives, she left us with information about exactly who/what killed her and how it happened. I’ve been in touch with her partner, who is as shocked about this information as we are. This dehumanizing treatment needs to end immediately. We are using #JusticeForEden and #HerNameWasEden for more information.

Update: Eden’s friends have compiled everything about her abduction in one place.

HEY HEY HEY SEASON 4 THEORY HERE!!!!!

IN EPISODE ONE WHEN THE SCROLL DOES ITS SPOOKY INK THING AND GOES THROUGH THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE WUKONG WRONGED IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, IN THE ENGLISH DUB WE HEAR MACAQUE'S VOICE SAY "YOU'RE NOTHING". EXCEPT HERE'S THE THING: HE NEVER SAID THAT TO WUKONG THAT WE KNOW OF. THE ONLY TIME HE SAID IT, IN THAT TONE IN PARTICULAR, IS TO MK!

"Or what? You aren't the Monkie Kid anymore! Your powers are gone. Your staff's gone. You're nothing."

HERE'S MY THEORY. WHAT IF WHEN THE SCROLL OPENED UP, BECAUSE IT WAS BEING HELD BY MK BUT WUKONG HAPPENED TO BE THERE AS WELL, IT SHOWED THEM BOTH THE THINGS THEY REGRET?!?!? BOTH THEIR PAINFUL MEMORIES?

THINK ABOUT IT. THAT SPECIFIC LINE WITH MACAQUE WOULDN'T MAKE SENSE OTHERWISE. I ALSO FIND IT INTERESTING THAT THE SPIDER QUEEN SHOWED UP IN THE INK AS WELL, AND THEN INK MK TAKES ON SOME SPIDER FEATURES WHEN HE IS FIGHTING REAL MK.

Obviously there's some sort of history between the Queen and Wukong as well, however that wasn't explored in the episodes she was in/the New Year's special. The last time MK saw the Queen was when she told him to run.

MK feels such immense guilt for not saving her that she manifested as a painful part of the scroll's curse.

Yeah the girl line-up makes more sense.

However, I’m also incredibly stubborn so I sketched both. /hj

Ironically I’m more proud of the LBD one since Wukong just looks goofy here.

!! :O yes!!! Pop off!!! Ya love to see it! /Gen

CMON YALL I KNOW MORE THAN 33 OF YOU ARE SEEIN THIS AT LEAST RB /nf
