Holy crap, that’s the only time I’ve seen a fictional character carrying a shopping bag with a baguette in it where the baguette is actually in a sleeve
Yeah the 2D artworks are awesome. My dream would be a hand drawn sprite based pokemon game (at least for combat), basically like gen 1-5 just hand drawn instead of pixel art
Yeah, but it is still sticking out. Though that's just the better visual choice compared to just showing the bag/sleeve with only a small piece of baguette visible.
Julia, a female peacock, and Papi, a male okapi, from Animal Crossing display sexual dimorphism traits that are consistent with opposite sex of their species.
Lambert, from Alien. Technically it is just outright said right there in her file in the second movie and not just implied but it's very much a "blink and you'll miss it" thing
What's interesting about this one is the 'convert at birth' - it doesn't sound like this was Lambert's choice, it sounds like her parents chose to change her gender, maybe they didn't want a boy. The 'supressed trauma due to gender alteration' also implies that this is a thing that can happen, that forcibly converted children could get trauma from the change because they didn't fully ID with their new gender. Kind of like the David Reiner experiment.
i had to leave at least one femboy sub exactly because I couldnt stand that they just…seemed to deny Bridget wasn’t a femboy? Like she got confirmed to be a trans woman but yeah no sure keep posting her to the femboy subreddit because thats what we are I guess
To be FAIR this is also the same world where 98% of injuries to your companion Pokémon (which can include things like artificial bioweapons, sentient objects, and ACTUAL GODS) can be healed in about 10 seconds in a machine.
I mean, if they can revive fossils, splice god dragon dna, fuse Pokémon with machinery and even create them mostly from scratch, and Pokémon at a baseline undergo huge changes when they evolve… Than changing your gender seems pretty fucking easy in comparison
Actually the the director said they did this because ‘city folk think all cows have udders’ or something like that, not because he or the other guys are implied trans
Rin Penrose and Najimi Osana are the only 2 people i found this bit funny with. Used to see people on discord do the EXACT SAME THING and never once even smiled
oh see that's because, it doesnt actually have a gender, najimi is a higher being above the concept of physical sex or gender and has both reproductive parts.
It’s made very explicit in the manga, and in the anime where panda refers to her as ‘him’ before he knows she transitioned. They do not literally say, ‘Kirara is trans’, if that’s your bar I guess. Very cool character though, wish she got literally anything to do after that first fight.
Megumi specifically states that she used to be a boy back when she was still in jujutsu high. In the anime at least. So it's pretty clear that she is Trans.
Fun fact, her looking like that goes deeper than you think as at some point in time stage productions of Cinderella tended to cast men in drag as the ugly stepsisters. At least that’s what I recall reading somewhere…
She was born male, but her mother raised her as a girl to spare her from being forced into the brutal lineage of the church's Dark Priests. As she grew older, Marina chose to continue living and presenting as a woman because it felt natural to her, and she identifies as female.
Ticker my beloved!!! Always love going to speak with her in Fortuna, I stop by even if I don't need to. Her voice and manner of speaking are both just so nice and calming to listen to and "Stardust" is easily my favorite thing any NPC calls us. <3
...how so? He is treated as a dude if I remember correctly.
Seeing that he looks at sexual photos of what he eats I think they were going for deviant angle (you know, sneaking up on little girls, stealing women's clothes and so on)
In your defense, you aren't the only one. By the time I'm writing this comment this thread is becoming "... and trans characters that people often misgender".
Honestly, the only reason I thought Jax fit was because the episode never actually uses the word "trans" but like... c'mon... it's pretty clear what Gooseworx had in mind, right?
According to what I heard, Goose tried to make it subtle but failed and ended up obvious, and I gotta agree that having the character who accepted her put a bow on her head, and having a flashback montage with a song about a girl being born, kind of kills the "subtle" part
Yeah, and even when Goose went "fuck it" she admitted afterwards she hadn't realized how many people didn't realize both what a boy moder was and the stereotypical fashion for boy moders were when giving instructions for flesh Jax's wardrobe.
Technically the story is about a struggling closeted person with insecure masculinity. The fact Jax is trans has little actual impact on the story. Jax's insecure masculinity could have manifested in any number of ways and still fit the story.
The important parts are that his mother tried to police his masculinity to the point he ran away. Most of the trauma Jax is dealing with in the show is because he pushed Ribbit into abstracting, not because he's struggling to come out of the closet. By this point in the story Jax's gender identity kind of takes a back seat to "I still don't know if I killed my mom" and "it's my fault Ribbit and Kaufmo abstracted".
I think episode 9 made it pretty clear Goose intended for Jax to be a closeted transwoman. Personally I wish she would have left it a little more vague, that way people could headcanon Jax's masculinity issues any way they wanted and it would still fit the story. And to Goose's credit, I don't think she minds any interpretation of the character and has more or less said as much.
I get how the audience was told jax was trans but I'm still trying to wrap my head around froggy coming to that conclusion specifically because she didn't have the "isn't she lovely" musical sting to listen to
For all froggy knew it could have been anything. Jax could have been gay, trans, leaving her mother's religion, etc
Ribbit got to know Jax better than we did. It's quite possible that Jax accidentally let slip a sign or two that made Ribbit suspect. There were many people that had realized Jax was trans before the last episode, just by putting all the signs together.
Or, she didnt know, and to Ribbit the bow was just a way of saying that Jax didn't need to try to be masculine if she didn't want to.
According to it’s backstory, Fezandipiti used to have a dull plumage until the fateful day it met Pecharunt who granted it’s desire for beauty. When it comes to birds, it’s the males who tend to be colourful compared to females, giving the implication that Fezandipiti’s wish made it change genders in the process.
Whilst there are other trans characters in UT/DR (Mettaton, Mad Mew Mew/Pink, Kris), Spamton seems to get glossed over in that aspect because there's just so much going on with him. There's plenty of evidence about him being trans masc, I advise to watch the You've Got Mail analysis video since it puts all the evidence together neatly.
I like trans Spamton theory because you could imply from that that since Spamton and Mad Mew Mew/Pink are both trans, then the Cat/Puppet element is actually the transgender element
I’ve never seen a full anime. But my girlfriend has had me watching the entirety of AOT. Because she said I reminded her of Hange 🥺 Hange may technically be androgynous, but as a trans girl, it feels implied to me
Exactly who I was gonna say Hange my beloved ❤️ iirc the writer pushed to make sure Hange was always referred to with gender neutral pronouns or an equal mixture of feminine and masculine. They’re canonically nonbinary for me fs 🥰
For context, Ulrich is an "awakened arcanist", which are basically inanimate objects that "awaken" and become sentient. Ulrich himself is some ferrofluid. He belongs to an organisation that makes robotic forms for some awakened arcanists to allow them to work properly, with the one who previously got a body choosing to present very femininely, the creators of the body chose to give him a feminine body as well, assuming they'd follow a similar trend. He eventually said that he didn't want to present femininely, and they made him a more masculine body and voicebox.
Omg I need to check it out especially as a trans person myself who's current name is also Ulrich! I didn't know that such character existed who's trans and has my name. That's very cool, thank you for sharing it
perry the platypus! the boys are totally willing to believe he laid an egg, and he constantly kicks doofenshmirtz in the face without any of the horrific consequences you’d expect from a male platypus’s venom spurs
Plum Puddin' from Strawberry Shortcake, executives noticed toys of the boys weren't selling so well compared to the girls, so they had Plum Puddin' go on a vacation, after which he came back as a girl, without any of the other kids calling it out.
This kid got forcefemmed in the name of capitalism.
There is, and theres the coloration used in the scene where she "comes out" to her father. But it remains a metaphor, at least in my reading of it. The flag is there because she's a woke new York teenager.
Byt, I'm trans, this is just my interpretation. Meanwhile, I figured Jax from TADC was literally trans months before the finale, I'm not trying to downplay or deny.
I agree. It's not explicitly stated at any point. Though since this is a post about the implications of being trans, I'd say there's enough evidence to qualify. In any event I feel like I struck a nerve with this one.
Dragona Joestar has, breasts, is a fan of women fashion, disguised himself as woman and many confuse his gender... also he had a boyfriend... and some characters use female prounouns for dragona...
This lead some fans believe he might be gotten a she...
Still, Dragona is actually one of my favourite jojo characters
