( No Title )
Ok, this is a little niche, but I have a theory for all you Discworld fans. Why doesnt Carrot have a beard?
A few facts to start with:
1. All Dwarves have beards.
2. Carrot is, culturally, a dwarf. He sees himself as a dwarf and other dwarfs accept him as such. (He’s just a very tall dwarf.)
So why would Carrot NOT have a beard, if all Dwarves have beards and Carrot is a dwarf? Would he choose to shave? Why? He wouldnt, right? Is there some reason he CANT grow a beard?
Another fact to remember about Disc Dwarfs:
All Dwarves are raised as men. Regardless of their biological sex and whether they are XX or XY, they are men, they use he/him pronouns, etc. (The fact that some dwarves have begun to identify and present as women is very recent in Disc history after all, and not all XX dwarves identify or present as women)
So, follow me here- the Dwarves in the mountain find a human baby. Regardless of that baby’s biological sex, they would be raised as a dwarf boy/man, yeah?
So…. may I present the theory- the reason that Carrot, a dwarf man, has no beard is because, you following, he is biologically an XX human. The fact that he cant grow a beard doesnt make him less of a dwarf man than the fact that he is 6+ feet tall.
So what I’m hearing is Carrot should be played by Gwendoline Christie

Occasionally I’ll see a post I previously liked and have no memory of but I see my past enjoyment and know I’m in for a treat.
I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS!
CARROT IS TRANS FROM A HUMAN PERSPECTIVE OF GENDER.
CARROT IS AN XX CHROMOSOME PERSON WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED FEMALE BY HUMANS.
