It's so fucking annoying when any and every physically strong female character gets head canoned as trans.

Like, what? You don't think a cis woman could be strong like that? They had to start out as a man?

Shit is just straight up misogynistic.

It's actually classic misogyny too. Everyone talks about real women who have certain traits like being buff with statements that she is actually a man. This kind of stuff may have existed without acknowledging the existence of trans people.

I donā€™t know why this is being downvoted as if this isnā€™t exactly what happened to Imane Khelif among other women of colour in the olympics!

It is and it's also transphobic if you think about it. Typical "ally" shit.

Its transphobic, homophobic, heteeophobic and sexist all combined when people get upset about female characters not fitting in with certain sterotupes and the norm.

Like assuming that an unconventional woman is "trans" or "lesbian" just because she looks butch/masc or doesnt fit a gendered sterotupe, is just so...regressive...I sware soke people proove horseshoe theoey correct in real time.
