MODERATORS
That is debatable, I think. Japan has very conservative ideas about gender, but the most common way they express a character is trans is in phrases like "they were a boy that became a girl". Ferris is very explicitly a femboy in the text of the show. But, death of the author, we can decide Ferris is trans if we feel their story is better that way. I think we can agree that it's not great representation, though.
You're right, this is the country that gave us "He thinks he's a girl" Birdo.
I dunno. I'm a boy who wishes he was a girl but seeing perfect, youthful trans people just made me feel like I must only want to transition because women are sexy and, like, who doesn't think having big fuckin titties would be great? But as I get older, there's been more graceful trans representatives that show people just being humans. No cat ears, no magic. Just girls who used to be unhappy with how they looked.
I'm just rambling at this point but thank you for engaging.
You're welcome. It's sad that sitting down and discussing heavy stuff isn't the norm.
