I am currently having issues with a trans friend of mine because I, a very straight man, voiced that I like to play as cute girl characters in video games. So she called me an "egg" which I had no idea what it meant, I looked it up and apparently it is a person that is trans but doesn't know it. I rightfully got kinda pissed off at her for trying to dictate to me my own sexuality/identity.
They did the same with my favorite anime(I mean my profile should make that clear) Saying nokotan is trans because only male deer have antlers not realizing that it's a Gag on purpose and that nothing in this show makes a lick of sense to begin with
I never understood that shit. They want to go against gender stereotypes which I’m down for, do and be whoever you want to be and don’t be tied down by what’s between your legs. But then they say anything that is remotely stereotypically feminine needs to be stereotyped as such and needs to be categorised as something that contradicts their beliefs.
@@joecroft4274they just wanna feel special and Not Like Other Boys aka narcissistic personalities. They are mini dictators. Mini justin trudeus. Mini castros.

@QPoggie030 How is that not sexist exactly? Because they're insisting on how those things are feminine and belong only to females. Thus you must identify a female to enjoy them. You can't make this up.
@@DemonicRemption Wait…I think you have misunderstood my words. I did mention the “cute things and dress” since the mc in the anime always express how he loves " cute things and dress" , and this is also the reason that ppl think he is trans. But, my point is it does not mean anything,anyone can love anything,and it is never about their sex.
"Why does this character have to be straight or light-skinned?" "This character must be trans because I identify that identity!" Always the same people, and they hate when you use verbal judo on them.
@@plumaDshinigami Counter questions; Is a black character more interesting then a white one? Is a trans character by default more valuable then a cis one? Does a character have to have a disability to be of interest? Are female protagonists better then male ones by nature? If anyone answers to one of these questions with ‚yes‘, then they are actually big@ts. Being diverse isn’t a freebie for instant good feedback; you have to make characters sincere and do actual work on them, regardless of what they are.
@@Radio-97 Unfortunately, it's more important to virtue-signal than trying to not come out as an actual bigot. My point was more to point out that the ones who claim to be against bigotry are the ones who are the most biased against others.
@@seantaggart7382 you are quite correct, however it IS a very vocal and annoying percentage. Imo, if a femboy wants to be boy and not trans thats fine with me. If a tomboy wants to be girl and not trans, that is also fine. If either a femboy or tomboy wants to be trans, I'm down with that too. Where I personally draw the line is when a trans wants me to lie and call them something they are not. Especially if it is forced. That's just me. I try not to lie; to myself or anyone else.
Also, why not make fanfiction about it where you can portray the main character as whatever you want. If the peeps on Twitter did that, they would have a great way to express themselves without hurting anyone. Who knows, if the writing on their fanfic is top notch A+ quality they could gain some fans from it too!
Moment a story gets published the author stops owning it as well and everything is up for interpretation. If the story might reasonably be interpreted that a character is trans, then it's possible. Author can say whatever they want but their only way to prove anything is to add to the story. If the author says a character is not trans but it be interpreted otherwise then it's possible. If character says in the story "I'm not trans, kys fa🅱️s" then yeah, they are not trans lol.
The irony being that to be trans means to play into the stereotypical idea of being the opposite gender. Acting, dressing, etc. They “rebel” against stereotypes by embracing them when it’s convenient.
It's so ironic because they are the ones reinforcing gender stereotypes by demanding a male identifying character be trans, just by the simple fact that he's feminine and dresses fem... we've come full circle, gender stereotypes are now good, I guess
I’ve had someone tell me I’m trans for liking male clothes, and dressing more masculine to my face. People nowadays can’t handle the concept of cross dressers.
I’m a tomboy, and I loved playing in the dirt and mud and finding worms and bugs when I was a little girl, typically anything gross or slimy. I would probably be called trans back then and even today lol
big difference between cross-dressing and literally wanting to be viewed as the opposite sex. that's their point I believe, whoever called you trans is retarded because you clearly don't WANT to be a man, this anime tho from what I've read now (cbf watching it lol) the mc wants to be viewed as a girl, dresses like a girl, acts like a girl, sounds trans to me man
We've come full circle. If someone wears dresses, they're obviously gay or a girl. Then, we decided that people should dress how they want and let them live their life as they will. Now, if someone wears a dress, then they're obviously gay or a girl.
So infuriating. 12 years ago I literally thought the concept of gender roles was just going to fade away and everyone would just dress and live how they want and live peacefully. Instead the exact opposite happened, because narcissists can't STAND to not make a huge stink and be the center of it.
@@GuacamoleKun The funniest part? It was the demographic that previously protested against such stereotype thats raising a fuss about and enforcing it now. How the tables have turned.
I'm a tomboy who used to deliberately dress to look like a guy to mess with people for fun. Am I trans? Nope. Just a troll tomboy that loves confusing people. It's so amusing watching people pause and stare at me like they are trying to solve a problem. Nowadays, people are too afraid to assume ones gender and took out all the fun from me >:(
The literal meaning of Otokonoko is an effeminate man, what causes laughter is that they say they reject gender stereotypes but proceed to reaffirm said stereotypes.
@@retrictumrectus1010 Otoko 男, ノコ noko It is just an exaggeration that any phrase is used, but in Japanese urban slang it is associated with boys speaking very effeminately.
You are overall correct but you are misunderstanding something here the correct way of writing it is 男の娘 or おとこの娘 or おとこのこ 男 (otoko) literally means male の (no) particle 娘 (ko) literally means girl or daughter the name of the manga is 先輩はおとこのこ (senpai wa otokonoko) a more literal translation of it would be "man-girl" and it's used to describe a male with a feminine appearance, usually cross dressers that look very feminine, basically a femboy and boys with a very feminine way of speaking are called オネエ (onee) from お姉さん (oneesan) which means older sister, google オネエ言葉
@@retrictumrectus1010 It's a play on words 男の子 means boy but 男の娘 means trap. Both are read the same. The trap's last kanji means daughter/girl, while the one that just means "boy" has a child's kanji at the end.
That's the problem with "gender is a spectrum". They think any difference from the normal stereotype of a gender must be its own different gender and refuse to accept that a guy can be girly in some ways or a girl can be boyish in some ways just because that's their personality or taste.
Of COURSE, they can misgendered a fictional character. But when I refer a character based on what I want because the maker said 'up to you', they come into my blog and call me uneducated

@@elijahhayter3026 Yeah anime has always been controversial here in the west. Remember back in the 90s and early 2000s? Anime wasn’t nearly as popular and people who liked it were heavily looked down on. Granted I’m 32, so I remember those days haha, was bullied if it ever got out that I liked anime. That is until I hit Highschool
@@erickchristensen746 I can't really say much regarding anime as I only started watching it mid-late 20s. But over here in the UK, I don't really know anyone (in my life anyway), who watches or talks about anime, past and present. Internet though wasn't used as much either back then a lot, especially not to the degree of now. As the internet spread and became more accessible, so did things like this, as well as information, I imagine. So it's likely the increased exposure from the growth in the internet that as helped anime. Sad thing is, most of these controversies are not serious but just manufactured bs with no reason nor understanding of the subject. It's just a shame that despite with the abundance of information at one's fingertips, many choose to reject and run away from reality and into a fantasy so something fits their narrative.
@@erickchristensen746 Oh totally, I agree. I think it's more I love the internet but dislike a lot of the people using it. Disregarding how some use it, both the internet, as well as social media, are amazing tools. It's a shame that something that has so much potential for good gets used for a lot of wrong reasons. Without the internet, like most people with internet access in the world, I don't think I would have known and learnt half of what I know now if it never existed or wasn't as commonly used by the public. Being able to share something of a different culture, like anime, gives you a window into another culture. So, in that aspect, although anime isn't a full accurate representation of Japan, just being able to watch a large selection of anime is great. And the internet was probably a big contribution to anime's popularity. Same for anything in other countries.
As someone who read the entire original comic, the entire point is that he *isn’t* trans. BUT, they do talk about gender identity, sexual identity, and confusion about all of these topics. What is actually love? Do I actually feel this way? Am I just broken? And why do I feel this way/ do these things? It’s a really bittersweet story I recommend!
You're talking about using brains properly and actual emotional quotients? To Twitters? I think you'd have better luck converting Atheists to Christianity, or any religion for that matter.

I once saw an sjw trying to label an otokonoko as a girl or trans, and kept insisting on it, the Japanese dude invoked all the power of his almost non-existent English language to yell "I AM NOT GIRL, I AM GIRLISH BOY!". That shut them up. (no it wasn't in real life, it was vrchat)

To those of you now going to look up what Mara in the Persona games are, enjoy 😈😈😈
Why did people think she was a dude? From the trans males I’ve seen in manga and anime they’re all drawn like cis characters rather than trans characters, with the exceptions of cowboy bebop and Jjk I guess 🤔
I know, but sometimes I think there is a subset of the activists (who in term are a small subset of Trans people, and should be treated as seperate groups so activists induced craziness does not splash on to the non-activsts, just like all other cases with activists involved) who feel that acknowledging that truth would weaken their stance, and open themselves for questions.

I am a tomboy- I put female clothes like skirts and dresses only for convenience, like going to the beach and just slipping out of it with your swimsuit under it, the rest of the time I dress kind of like my dad. Sports shorts, sneakers, t-shirts, flipflops, sometimes even sandals with socks. I might change the style a bit with some hard rock, metal or anime merch, since I am also a fangirl and otaku, but ultimately I am a girl. I'd like to sometimes try dressing like a metalhead or a motorist but knowing how stuffy and stiff leather clothes can be, it'll probably be just for a few pictures. I am not trans or queer or whatever new word they've thought up. I don't need to be anything other than myself to want to dress up as a dude, plus the clothes are very comfy aaaanddd.... POCKETS!! BIG POCKETS! I bought some second-hand Manchester shorts from the dollar store and the pockets are huge compared to those in clothes in the 'female' section. I can put so much stuff in it- my keys, wallet, phone, tissues, mints... I have been mistaken for a dude many times and it never bothered me, the only time I was embarrassed was when two 1st graders screamed and ran out of the bathroom at my old school because they thought a boy had entered the female restroom. Even a teacher was called... my old elementary teacher. I felt soooo embarrassed to meet her like that while 2 little girls were freaking out. We had a good laugh later, but still, it was awkward.
Weird to see how backwards it is now…if a woman dresses masculine she must be a man and vice versa….It’s just called wearing what we want. Doesn’t make anyone trans or uncomfortable with their gender. 😅 Nice to see another tomboy otaku though.
This reminds me of what happened to Bridget when he was released. They were mad that in his story mode him accepting the whole female charade as his actual self was in the bad ending not knowing that the reason he dresses up as female is because in his town there's a superstition that having twins is bad; so them being mad at that kinda shines a bad light on the whole accept yourself motto they've been preaching lol
Anyone else find it ironic when people are put down for having a waifu, but then it's ok to go this hard and declare a char as trans just because that's what they want? Just watch the show like a normal person.
Even more huge irony is that these people say that boys can wear dresses and still be boys. But once boys actually dress femine they're actually Transperson.
As someone who has struggled with there gender, being a very Feminine man, debating if I am trans or not only to come to the conclusion that I dont really care if im called by different pronouns, and that all in all I like being able to wear more stereotypically Feminine while still being masculine in other ways. It kinda annoys me that people just automatically assume that "Hey this person likes dressing as a girl, must be trans!" Like no. Thats not how it works. I feel like this whole thing that started off for being inclusive in media has turned into "Your with me or against me." Mentality thats actively giving people a reason to not be inclusive. Its so sad seeing these people think there helping, while actively hurting there cause. I just feel bad for the sane people who are actually in the LGBTAQ+ community that have these loud people who are hurting there cause because they cant accept something thats not in there agenda.
My guy, the sane people have left the LGBT and don’t associate with them anymore. They hurt the cause too much to be a positive thing to associate with
You can tell it doesn't actually matter to them if a character is canonically trans. Because even if the author/company themselves shoots down the claim that a character is trans, these terminally online twitter freaks will still say "Well I am going to pretend they're trans anyways."
One of my friends called Bridget from Guilty Gear a Girl and I was kinda shocked. The entire reason he dresses how he does is because his parent's were trying to avoid a stigma of having twins. That's it and he keeps dressing like that because it's who he is at this point.
@@americankid7782 ikr also different from orginal version of character. Also feels kind off since they sorz conditions 2 be girl. But mangiet 2 provoid the curse worng.Only 2 back 2 be one in the end.Also werid considering one the endings in one the previous game.
God, I hate it when this shit happens. It’s so delusional. The whole thing gets so unbearably toxic and obnoxious when it occurs. People like them also don’t get to tell another country what the definition of certain words in their language should and shouldn’t mean. That is such selfish and entitled behavior. It’s basically just ethnocentrism on their part.
This reminds me to all the people that gets ofended when someone says "black" in spanish, because it is one of the two N-words Do you remember that time when an uruguay soccer player said "Mi negrito"? It was lovely way to call the people on his country
Every new generation is filled with people who simultaneously feel more enlightened than their predecessors and while young are blind to their own prejudices: if something makes them uncomfortable they presume a moral imperative is responsible.
One thing that these types of situations expose is the true nature of these peoples obsessions. You see, they don’t actually care about the character or the story they just want another shiny bauble to show off. Like Bridget in Guility Gear or Yamato from One Piece, people who push the gender narratives almost never actually talk about liking the character or their story, just the fact that they are the label they are seeking to push. The character is a purse puppy to them, worn like an accessory to be shown off until they find the next thing to latch onto. The same thing with Yuri/Yaoi shippers too, they often don’t care about the story, just about their own headcanons about the characters.
While I do agree with some of your points because sometimes people do a lot of reaching to push their headcannons, Bridget is not one of those cases. There was explicit confirmation from Daisuke, the creator of Guilty Gear, that she is in fact a girl. After the creator of the character confirms something it really stops being a headcannon
@@RavenUwU605 Didn't he specifically say that he originally planned Bridget to be a girl, then decided *not to* and then changed up his mind again 20 years later for the new game? While the creator has confirmed the situation in Strive, he has also admitted to it being a retcon based on his whims, so the backlash isn't entirely undeserved.
it's rather ironic that these are the same people who claim they are against gender norms. like the anime is literally going against gender norms by having a male character dress in female clothing while still identifying as a male. however to these people any male who dresses in female clothing is immediately trans which is a very rigid way of seeing gender roles. they might as well say only girls get to dress in pink because pink is a girl's color.
@@sincerelynotme3522yep the trans people know celebrating about the adaptation will change there tune fast when they adapt the actual source material especially ranma given he despises being turned into a girl
I have long hair, always preferred it that way. Just before COVID kicked me off my previous job, a friend was debating on nail polish colours and joked on what I thought on the subject and if it'd look better on her or me. I told her there was only one way to find out and I had pink and green nails for a few months (we called it watermelon colours). Add that to my hair length and the mandatory mask period and I was cackling at everyone jumping after they'd call me "sweet tall lady".
@@Acatia2 Unfortunately that jump for more than a few of them was probably because they were scared of you. You need to assume everyone is trans because if you misgender a trans person you at best get screamed at, at worst you get assaulted and/or arrested, whereas if you misgender someone gender nonconforming you get politely corrected at worst.
@@BloodrealmX I'm not gonna pretend I don't imagine a few might have been spooked, but me replying calmly in a friendly if not joking way seemed to disarm most tension. It's not so much about being trans (which I'm not in the slightest), it's just about not being an asshole. Back then, masks made identifying at a glance harder on everyone. Now I've gone back to just being a long-haired dude.

Y’all remember when he covered that one BL manga that the localizers changed it to the guys best friend “realizing he is a girl” when he likes make up and other “girlie” things? Yeah, me too. This reminds me of it actually.
Was just thinking of exactly that. The manga made it abundantly clear that the character was a femboy, and the translator made the decision to *make* him trans. People had to contact the original creator to get that decision reversed (which meant books being reprinted). Simply maddening.
There are men who crossdress just because they want to wear cute, feminine clothes. They don't reveal who they are, they may or may not go out in public, and some are even afraid of being found out by friends or family. They have no desire to stop being men, they just want to wear feminine clothes sometimes. That doesn't make them trans, nor does it make them gay. They're who they want to be.
1:06 I absolutely hate it, and the same "Don't label me bro" are trying to fit so much into an over-arching "T" box. I'm not saying there is a purposeful or nefarious reason, but it is despicable.
Back when I was cosplaying, which tended to be male characters, or even just wearing typical guy clothes, I used get misgendered all the time. I have broad shoulders and an androgynous face so it's easy for me to "pass," even when my hair was long enough to reach my arse. Most of the time I would laugh it off, with only one or two instances I can remember of me getting upset and both were due to outside factors. One time was some older guys being overly friendly with my friends, back when we were all in highschool and attending a Con, and it creeped me out. They mistook me for a guy because I was in my Akatsuki Kisame get-up, and I angrily told them I was a girl and told my friends we needed to leave. My acting up and seeming 'offended' got my friends to leave with me, but I was more upset with the situation than the "hey are you with that guy"" comments. The second time my hair was short and it was autumn. I had a tuque on and a thick jacket cause I get cold easy. A cop stopped me and demanded to know where my helmet was. Mine had recently cracked down the center and was too damaged to use. At the time I only had a bike to travel. I told the cop "I'm going to buy a new one right now, mine got cracked." And the Moment he heard my voice he went from aggressive and angry to confused then to embarrassed. He said "have a nice day, miss." Then drove off. X'D I was upset at the time because I had never been stopped by a cop before and I had No idea what I had done wrong. Looking back on it though, that moment is actually Hilarious.
Bruh, when I was maybe 10 or so, my dad shaved my hair because he didn't like the way it looked so I was constantly mistaken for a boy. It didn't help that my name is unisex but typically used for boys and I tended to wear boyish clothing (since it was more durable and I hated that all the options girls had were colorful or sparkly or pastel). At a summer recreational center where we had to wear uniforms anyway, I ended up befriending a boy who was surprisingly okay playing games like House and such with me each day. One day, my uniform was dirty so I just wore a blouse that happened to be the same color as it and he asked me why I was wearing girl clothes. I told him with confusion "because I'm a girl?" and I will never forget the look of sheer horror that crossed his face. He never played with me again. But it was and always will be funny as hell.
@@buttermilkcoffeve That is hilarious. Also same about the clothes! Growing up I was, and still am, a massive Tomboy. I'd play in the mud, climb trees, play with tonka trucks, dig holes, and catch bugs. So I always wore t-shirts and shorts. Mum could only get me in "pretty" clothes maybe 4 times a year. XD
@@sheilaarkurshicin I was less of a tomboy and more of a young mad scientist. Honestly, I mainly just hated the way other girls acted and wanted to avoid being anything like them. The types of girls that would say "EW!" to absolutely normal things or scream when the lights in the classroom went out in absolute broad daylight or cry when they were smacked on the arm would always wear girly things and it seemed like a uniform for the feeble minded and weak stomached and I wasn't having that.
When i was young, people tough that i was gay, it was no bullying, people actually tough and did not used it to insult, but sometimes, people misgendered me because... i do not know, my hair was short and my clothes were "masculine", i am not pretty and my height is upper the average man in my country, so it was weird to be confused just watching me
One is sexualising boys (not legal cause femmen just doesn’t work) and the other is more acceptable. Femboys are problematic by nature, if you wanna act feminine as a grown man go ahead but when it’s boys it’s just disgusting, imagine sexualising children 🤮
@@usfandi39 Futanari don't have genders, only people both with both genders are intersex, and even intersex do not have both genitals simultaneously.

I was a long-haired male high-school student (now just a long-haired male adult), and once, while I was waiting at a bus stop, I was on the ground playing my DS because all the chairs were taken. A woman comes up to me form behind and says something along the lines of "could you give me directions, miss?" I turn around, and she see's the mustache and is immediately embarrassed, but I just laughed, saying if that bothered me I'd have gotten a haircut a long time ago. That interaction made my day.
I faintly remember that there was an ad or something similar a few yeare ago that said something along the lines of "Reality can be whatever you want it to be" and some people seemingly took it to heart and way too far.
Edit: This was actually “I think I turned my childhood friend into a girl” Got lost in the pattern of crossdressing/genderbend misrepresented as Trans going on in the anime community. My bad Btw, this is the manga that caused massive localization backlash and calls for a reprint because the company was called out on their "fixes" by the author, leading to other mangaka's to double check their localized manga with the same company.
Lilly orchard thought that sapphire from Princess Knight was ether trans or non binary because she has both a boy and girl heart. Think she had to act like a boy because of those kingdom rules and she's trying to bring out her feminine side

Looking up the title, it's written as "先輩はおとこのこ", where the "Otokonoko" part is written in ambiguous hiragana, rather than the kanji I was expecting. So I guess the title does have a dual-meaning...

These people are insane, thinking just because you cross dress you're trans lol. I used to do it for Cosplay all the time, it was just for fun, I don't wanna get knifed in the junk for it
First Otokonoko is literally the japanese word for boy, source: im learning japanese with a tutor. And 2nd crossdressing is a commonplace. This is the wildest shit ive ever seen.
otoko (male) no ko is both boy (ko = 子) and male daughter (ko = 娘), it's just a difference of how the 'Ko' is written. It's literally in the video 00:08

@@RaginCanadian-gx2zl 1.

Leo pointing meme. Reinforcing gender sterotypes with "you're not a 1950s stereotype so you must be trans". My wife's sister says she's trans. Why does she think she is trans? Because her mom is a traditional Mexican that taught her to hate her body, and therefore, becoming a man will magically fix mom's nagging. You'll never believe but finding her a bra that fits and teaching her girls don't have to wear makeup reduced the gender dysphoria by about 98%. Weird.
I have a friend with gender disphoria, she usually likes femenine things, at the same ways that the "masculines", but you know what? She had a conservative mom, his parents give more attention to his little male brother and she was really introduced into a christian community, majority of them are liberal young people, but obviously, the leaders are elder people So probably years of "you act like a boy" and the LGBT propaganda washed her brain with the modern stereotypes of feminity Pds: women in the past, were not femenine, even if they were households
This does raise a few points of inquiry. In this day where everyone MUST know what every other person's personal pronouns as well as every other identifier, you don't hear about the term "transvestite" anymore. Since when have we (the terminally online "we") pigeon holed this group as full, one gender to another, trans. There are plenty of people in the world that are perfectly happy just wearing the clothing of the opposite gender but remain the actual gender they're born as. The longer this goes on, the less diverse and inclusive this becomes.
Funny enough those same people dead ass try to call me transphobic for not liking Bridget when I have always hated that character before Strive. Even after I make this point clear so many times that if anyone played a drinking game about me saying it, their ghosts would even be dead from alcohol poisoning.
otoko-no-ko generally means "boy" 男の子 (male child). When you spell it with "男の娘" however, it's still pronounced otoko-no-ko but the last "ko" uses the kanji for daughter/girl - so it's slang for femboy.
@@SMCwasTakenPitch accent only applies to Chinese. Kanji are Japanese, and the only way to tell the difference verbally is to understand the context the word is spoken in. This is one of the reasons that misunderstandings and wordplay are a huge part of Japanese comedy and writing. Remember, Japanese is syllabaic - they don't do individual letters like us Westerners do.
@@SMCwasTaken Not really, no. Standard Japanese doesn't really use pitch accents; as far as I know, only regional dialects tend to make them important in any way.
The LGBT community has always been like this, they do everything they say shouldn’t be done, and are one of the least tolerant communities. That’s why a lot of gays, lesbian, etc don’t even wanna associate with them
How much y'all when this anime does get an English dub localizers and English VAs are going to go against the original anime and manga place your bets in the reply
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again. A male character cross dressing or being in drag, or just liking to wear feminine looking clothes does NOT make him transgender or gay. In fact, I would say a male character dressing up in a dress and looking great doing so goes against gender stereotypes and gender norms, which I think is better than the transgender headcanoning people are doing, which is intentional stereotyping disguised as “diversity,” and “inclusivity.” Nothing wrong with LGBT+ headcanons, just be careful when you’re stereotyping.
@@melantharosewoodI’m gonna assume you’re talking about anime and manga because there is more disabled representation than any other kind in western media. If you’re looking for anime or manga then obviously they are gonna have some super power, nobody wants to watch some dude in a wheel chair wheel around in an action shonen ☠️
Mmm, just love that editing wikipedia articles when personal feelings about something are rebuffed is becoming more popular than the usual. A reeeeeeaaal normal and measured response to opposed beliefs on a given subject. Upside-down smile emote.
Some people seem to want to forget that some people like crossdressing. It does not inheitatly make you trans/gay/whatever. Some people just want to be, in their eyes, pretty, or handsome. They don't have to conform to your political bias, or your personal preference. I find sundresses quite attractive on girls. I'm not about to get angry that a girl is walking by in tank top and jeans.
Yeah, it's laughable how far they went with the whole trans stuff. Tomboy? "Your not a girl, you a boy" Metrosexual? "Your not a boy, you are a girl" no, shades of grey people. It's a Spectrum.
it was only a spectrum where they can take advantage of it. gender nonconformation only helps when they say so. there should be nothing wrong with someone dressing up how they wish in this context, buuut for them, of course it is.
I swear to god, as a bisexual man I have only seen the same ammount of hate and discrimination that I've seen within the LGBTQ+ community coming from the "Christian" community. "If it's not by my rules you ain't doing it right!!!" applies perfectly for both
I loath it so much my brother is a fem-boy and gay. He deleted all his social media a while back because he couldn't deal with people telling him that he is actually trans because gay+crossdressing=trans to them. So much about breaking the gender norms and freedom of self...
They hold such a dogmatic view on the trans topic they literally spout misogynistic, and homophobic talking points. Gotta love the political horseshoe.
That same alphabet community did the same thing to Vivian in Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door. I guess Japan doesn't know about their own subcultures.
@@skootergirl22he's not. He was FORCED to wear girl's clothing. The fact the T community forced the devs to make him have the bad ending where he accepts being groomed, is PDFILIA.
For anyone wondering, Yes, Otokonoko does mean "Male Girl" or sometimes "Son daughter" which is a word used to describe most often a young boy who looks like a young girl and tends to be very cute. Examples of this are Felix from Re:Zero, or Astolfo from the Fate Series. Technically the word can mean anyone who is a man who looks more like a women but in recent times the word has more often been used for cute young men or boys with feminine features This is not to be mistaken with the word Okama which is more a man who dresses like a women (And does not need the man to look like a women to do so) And is often used for comedic effect. Examples of this is like Ivonkov from One Piece, or a favorite of mine the False Magical Girl from The Great Jahy Japanese does not have an exact word for transgender, and as such uses a loan word which to anyone wondering is the act of taking a word not part of the native language and using it. In this case, the word Transgender in japanese is simply Toransujenda as the do not have their own word for this. If you do not see Toransujenda (Which if ever written in japanese would be written using Katakana as it is a foreign word) then that character is not Trans what so ever. The more you know
